Help Help converting crosses


Recommended Posts

Hello lads,

 

Anyone out here got any advice on how to better put away chances?

Winning plenty of header in the box but players just don't seem to convert as many as I'd expect given the number they are winning.

I think it depends on your strikers positioning stat if it's not green they might win aerial duels but won't convert there chances.

A couple of thoughts / questions:

  • ST Roles - what roles do you STs have? ’Maybe’ the TF role sits back a little (‘plays with back to goal’) so has harder chances, while the Poscher role is closer to the goal + so would have easier chances … ?
  • Early Crosses - do you have early crosses switched on? If yes, then ‘maybe’ your wide attackers are crossing from (less dangerous) deeper positions, instead of dribbling to cross from the byline (more dangerous).
  • Defensive Line - do you have a high line? As ‘maybe’ a higher line would lead up crosses from higher / more advanced positions, with your STs moving higher up the pitch / closer to goal.

Am not sure of any of these, but they seem logically possible.

Positioning is for when your team are defending / out of possession. It not needed for a ST to score from headers.

Movement is for when your team are attacking / in possession. It’s not needed for defenders to clear opposition crosses from your box.

A quick sense check of the best STs shows that positioning isn’t needed.

I play with 2 TFs so maybe, will try it out with 2 poachers and see if there is any significant improvement.

 

Don't use early crosses, although I may have used it in this game.

Cant remeber.

 

Defensive line is balanced, 

Will try pushing up to high and see if there is a marked imrpovement.

 

Thanks for the feedback
