Was struggling with Crosses when i was managing Liverpool. But with my Juventus save (in 11.2) Crossing works great for me.
 
i cross from deep, using the off the ball movements of my forwards to score the crosses
 
Post a screenshot of cross completion if you can, please.
 
ill give you stats from my next game, but remember my forwards are United ones

Of course. I tend to manage **** teams and I know my limitations, don't worry. But having a striker 10 cms taller than the tallest of the opposition defenders and being unable to get a good cross in is frustrating :P

21% cross completion, with just rooney up front, but more importantly the crosses were getting into the box rather than being blocked

villa on the otherhand, managed just 5%
 
Don't play a wide game often, but Jonas has quite poor crossing stats, but is a very effective crosser. A high number in crossing won't get the ball to your player alone. Composure, Technique, Decisions among others will determine the effectiveness.
 
Considering cross completion takes corners into account, it's not good. Could you post the graph?
 
With Newcastle I've found my crosses tend to be scored not by my target man, but the opposite winger/inside forward, especially in 11.2.

i get my crosses into the right areas, but lack the height to finish (Falcao in the summer :wub: ). However this game i didnt attempt to exploit the flanks, create width or particularly get round the back, which is important if trying to score with shorter players, was pretty content to sit on my huge aggregate lead
 
Well, I had the height but every cross was intercepted, even though my forwards were taller.

4 of my 5 best chances came from crosses, 1 scored the 3 should have been, and i dont play a crossing game really, my side isnt set up for it at all, so it's possible to get a crossing game going
 
41 crosses and 4 chances still sounds a little poor to me, I was expecting top teams did better. Thanks anyways, though.

im not a crossing side and its not 41 and 4 either, 41 and 7, actually less becuase i dont count corners, since the ai marking is too poor at the posts, and i feel its too easy to score

over the season ive picked up a fair number of headed goals and its perfectly possible to create a crossing game, which is what you asked in the first place

If you look at the graph you'll see only 4-5 of the completed crosses are actual crosses. Thus, I believe it is not a viable option. Of course, you may be right about not being a "crossing side", but I have tried with good crossers and tall strikers and it doesn't get much better than this, either.
