The impact you can make as a winger, once you receive the ball, depends on how open you are, if the defender is near you, you can play a simple pass back, if you have more space, you can be more creative. You can always take risks and attack, no matter what the situation around you is, but that way you're risking a potential counter attack against your team. It's expected by wingers to be difference makers, but they can't play that way throughout the whole match. So, because of this, you need to know the basic movements and attacking approaches.
This is for the situation when the team you're playing for have the ball in your half. This way, most of the time, the winger is positioned with his body towards his teammates, near the full back, in the same line.
When you're on the wing you can take your time and work on your magic, dribble the full back and cross the ball, or cut inside for a potential of shooting the ball or dribble a couple of more players.
When you are receiving the ball in the middle, you have to be more decisive and make a quick decision. The best option is to play a one-two, usually with the striker.
Receiving the ball on the wing, gives you more freedom, in a way that probably the only player near you is the full back, this way you can take the ball with you for a couple of meters, win some space, this way if you lose the ball, you lose it far away from your goal, and it's harder for the opposing team to create a quick counter attack. If you lose the ball in the middle, you have midfielders ready to distribute immediately, and that's a worrying situation, as they have better vision from that standpoint and they can choose the best option.
