Fullback /wingers kick reception

Hi,
I'm curious to know how to get my back three to catch the ball when the opposition kicks in general play? Is it entirely dependant on kick reception range and kick reception? If I have these attributes set to a moderate level, what can I do to make sure they don't let the ball bounce to create a better counter attack situation?
I think there are many factors that can affect this. You can fiddle with settings for an improvement for example, only to find that they will then start to drop the ball as they tire if rhythm is too high.
Cheers, I guess keep doing what I'm doing until I have a result
