Making 4-3-3 work

I know the meta is to play through the center with 3 forwards and no players in the sides, but I find that extremely boring and uncreative. I like to play using the wings, dribbling and counterattacking. The wingers can go both outside and make a cross or inside and take a shot. Currently I use Lampard and QC as a style. However when I reach div 2 this strategy gets harder. Specially because the wingers can no longer outspeed the defense. Any advice on how to set up the team?
