With this Out-of-Possession role the Wide Outlet Winger is asked to avoid tracking back to help out the Full-Back behind him as much, instead looking to hold his position more in order to be in a dangerous position for a counter-attack when the ball turns over. Because he doesn't do as much defensive work, it's often important to ensure that the team aren't exposed on his flank e.g. by asking nearby midfielders to play a wide covering role to cover for him.
You’ll notice the Wide Outlet Winger staying high and wide to provide a passing option on the counter, working best when paired with a wide-covering midfielder to maintain defensive balance.
