Yes, you lose the patch if you replace the exe. Getting the correct lineup in edit mode will happen if you are using Wolf's exe with Wolf's option file (won't it?) - but not if you are using a different option file (like Andy's EPL one for example). To get them to match up, i think you have to export each player into the exe one by one with WEditor - not a quick job. Not sure how this is done exactly though, as i've not done it myself - i'm sure Wolf can tell you though.
