thanks.
There is so much wrong with your setup here that it would be pointless for us to tell you what to do... Instead, I will try to explain what is wrong...
1. More direct passing does not work well with playmaker roles, as you will have lot back/forth passing to your playmakers, and opposition will be able to setup their defence and you will not benefit from direct passing.
2. To be able to pass in space, you need to create some space, and you are not creating it with front three.
3. When you are trying to work ball into box, you need to unsetlle and break opposition defensive shape, and by forsing your front trhee into box, you are not doing this, as they will be, for most of time, between 4 or even 5 opposition players. You will have some space on side, but you are not using it becouse your FB-s are very passive. And you are not shooting from distance so there is apsolutly no one who cares if you passing from your left to your right.
4. Low crosses are good if you have space behind defence, but as I explained you in first point, your back/forth passing does not leave you this space. So this way you are giving ball away. Further more, I am guessing that you are not crossing too much either, as work ball into box is preventing your players to cross more often.
5. To be able to exploit the flanks, you actually have to have someone who will be able to run into space on side, and you have none.
6. With wide play, you make your offensive play even more slower and even more predictable. Yes, You stretch opposition, but you do not have rolles to benefit from this.
7. Drop deeper - It separate your lines more then it has to. Combined with prevent GK short distribution it streches your team even more and leave your midfield three to cover a lot of space.
8. Lower tempo is killing any possability to actully hit opposition on break and actully benefit from direct passing and front three attacking rolles, as well as low crosses.
9. Stik to position will kill any movement without ball.
10. More disciplined game will kill any creativity.
You could benefit by just making three small changes - seting up your two wide players to support roles and your FB-s to attack roles, you will get two players between lines, and you will get two wide players that will actually benefit from your exploit flanks shout. But this will deny space for Your RMP -s to run into, so DLP-s will be probably more beneficial here.
Second option is to change role of Your CF to f9-Treq- DLF, in order to conect midfield and front three, and to create space for two INF... But you will need to loos exploite flanks shout, as you want more direct style of attack here, to actually go trough defence, not around them.
Third option is to make some asimetry in midfield, to have one Ap -att and one DLP -def and to have one fb more attacking (on side of DLP ), and also INF on this side should be on support duty, so you can use space that front three will create... AP will run into this space and be able to conect with your supporting Inf and offensive fullback, and you will also have options in box for quick crosses...
RPM are rolles that need freedom to be effective, and you are killing any freedom with be more disciplined shout and stick to position shout. This goes also to AF rolle, as it is rolle that tries to run in space...
Try also different combinations of shouts and whatch some games to see what have changed for better or worse...
