it just turned 2020 in my game and liverpool are 13th in the championship and have had to sell off all of their good players. The only people they can't/won't get rid of are Henderson, Balotelli, and Coutinho, but I suspect that they can't last another season with their wages...this owns, they're going full Leeds.

you guys are idiots if you think you can only score from crosses. You can only score from crosses if you use wingers, try to widen the play, and play deep. Like in real life, it's easiest to break down an organized defense through the wings. Only like Barcelona et al can consistently create chances through the middle of the pitch.

If you want more of your goals to come through the middle of the pitch (and you're managing a mediocre side), you need to press higher up, get stuck in, and win balls in scenarios where you can release a man through early. I score a decent amount of goals of crosses, but I also score a ton through the middle of the pitch against a scrambling defense because I set up my pressing correctly.

In terms of the AI, i'd agree that they score a disproportionate amount of their goals from crosses, or the immediate aftermath, but it's also likely that that's because you're playing an organized defense that yields those sort of chances. If you played 4-4-2, high up the pitch, with an offside trap, with your wingers and fullbacks double marking theirs, you'd likely concede most of your goals through the middle of the field. I don't have evidence to corroborate this theory because I hate playing like that, but it stands to reason. The match engine isn't a gimmick as much as FM players likely have similar ideas about how football 'should' be played
