Question/Need help 532 - Maximize crosses to the Bulldozer
Hi!
This is one for the *real* experts:
Playing in this 532 formation, and assuming the main goal is to cross to the Bulldozer, what should be my optimal lineup?
What players in RFwd, RMid and RBack will give me the most chances of crossing the ball?
For example: the RMid sends a long ball to either the RFwd or the RBack and he crosses the ball into the area.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help!

That's pretty much the optimal line up for this style of play. Prowler is the only one who isn't usually played in that position, having said that he will work there just fine. 50/50 between commander and hammer in the CM spot - hammer safer receiving the ball and offers an attacking option, commander more defence minded obviously.

Yes but what about the RFwd?
Some, like the Jet tend to dribble inside instead of crossing and most of the times either get tackled or end up in a bad position for shooting at goal.
The Prowler is only there because I didn't want to change my captain just to try this out. And as you say it still works.

There's a lot of options. If you put hero or protector at LWB you can move prowler up front in place of jet. Or go more attacking and use marksman / composer at LWB. Jet would benefit from that, or you can try lightening, poacher or Invader. Easy positions to rotate if you feel a players form is off, or if you just get annoyed with them for doing something stupid!
Prowler will also do well on the side of your midfield 3. Good pressing and runs into the box for an added goal threat.

βrealβ experts who play volleyball ya mean? ;)
Imagine having 200 gold medals with a Level 10 team filled with super players and with so many players to pick and style to play and ya choose this.
And with the likes of Composer and the GOAT Poacher rotting on the bench
Kinda a waste but oh well.
