When playing IW I often see them get into great positions just inside the box but instead of putting it across goal they turn back and play it to the edge of the box (or pass to a player even further away from goal) or they shoot from a ridiculous angle.
I know the IW role is to cut back but IRL a player wouldn't waste such obviously easy crosses. It's frustrating seeing such good chances passed up regularly.
I've tried using Wingers but found they don't get into the right positions. Same for AP. I've tried 'cross more often' and 'shot less often'. None of these changes it.
Normally I have them with Attack (as they don't seem to get into the right positions on support).
This even happens when the player is Either footed (or they're a right footed player, playing on the right as an IW). So it isn't foot preference.
Does anyone know the best setup for wide AM that brings them narrow and high but makes them fire crosses across goal?
For info normally play
SK(s)
WB(s or a), BPD, CD, WB (d or s)
HB or DM
DLP or RPM, BBM
IW(a) IW(a or s)
AF or DLF(a)
I use 'press more often' and high line. Normally with Counter Press but not always Counter.
Shorter passing, more urgent/quicker.
Low crosses. Work into box.
Normally no over/under lapping but sometimes experiment with them.
