Crosses from byline vs crosses from deep in a 4-5-1 or a 4-2-3-1

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has had specific experiences with crosses so far. I've been playing with a 4-5-1 counter and have been fairly successful up until now, but I've had my wingers cross in from the byline, which worked well in FM15 but seems to be a lot less effective in FM16. Does anyone who's playing with wingers have some advice on crosses?

Thanks!

I would say it depends on your striker. I play as Liverpool and when i play benteke up front i tell my wingers to cut in and the wingbacks to cross from deep. When i play sturridge i tell my wingers to use low crosses. Works for me

If you play with attacking IFs, a cross from deep to the far post does wonders. In many games my IFs outscore my forward! Gotta have decent speed and off the ball on your IFs though.

It depends on a **** of a lot of things. It depends on the teams against you, whether the box is packed or not. It depends on your strikers and what their strengths are. It depends on where your wide players are. There is no "BEST".
