Yeah i pointed this up a while ago, whilst most of the time your striker is played through in the box, on a few occasions sometimes he receives the ball a little bit deeper because he is ticked as TM and attempts to just dribble through a solid back line of 4 and then shoots from outside the box- regardless of whether he has the ppm "shoots from distance" or "runs with ball often".
I'm certain it is a simple issue of tweaking the throughball and crossing setting for the central stiker- however, i'm not willing to do it because i'm still winning games and if it isn't broke don't fix it.
However, looking at the original grid and most tactics which use extreme poachers, they always set their poachers to through balls "sometimes" and cross ball "sometimes" to negate the effect of the poacher playing too individually.
