Hey all, does anyone know how cut inside will effect strikers?

I've got two playing up front both with roaming instructions. Oftentimes my sidebacks will play long balls and naturally they tend to be played out wide (harder for them to do long balls right in front of goal). This tends to get my strikers to create width and play wide and sometimes cross.

However they rarely attack goal from these positions and was wondering if cut inside instruction would improve this?

With cut inside, the strikers will try to cut inside when they receive the ball, not without the ball. So yes, it does improve it a little bit. Also setting roam from position to no and reducing creative freedom a little should help, but not quite sure. Try and see how it goes.
 
Cut inside = as above

The roaming part to be used when you want him to seek free space. If that space id only found far out wide, then there is a good chance that the player will end up there, not being able to use the cut inside move to make a run straight at the goal. But if space is found in the hole, then its a great option. Also consider the ppms of the attackers to avoid using conflict settings
 
I kind of like them drifting to the outside though. I play without wingers and the extra width as they run down the flanks allows my AMC to attack goal (however most amcs are rubbish at heading).

I have one striker with runs with ball often, and runs through center PPMs + high dribbling and speed attributes and he occasionally cuts inside with great effect. He gets to the byline, then destroys about 2 defenders and fires point blank shots at goal (usually poor angles though)
