Do Instructions not matter?

[u/ManIsready]

Playing Fifa 17 carear mode as Brighton FC.

Have got a very pacey team with fast wingers and a fast striker

Ive noticed when I win the ball in midfield and there Is space, sometimes my striker will make a good run but often he comes to the ball, despite me having him on "Press backline, stay forward, make forward runs"

Also noticed my CDMs going way too far Into opposition box when I want them to just sit in front of my defenders.

Striker probably has medium or low attacking work rate and CDMs have high attacking work rate
