Cross types in FIFA 19 FIFA 19 Guide and FUT Tips
Last update: 26 September 2018
Cross is a very common element of any football match, which can be described as passing the ball from the wing to the centre of the field, usually in the opponent's penalty area. In FIFA 19 such moves create extremely dangerous sub-gate situations so it's worth to use them when planning attacks on the opponent's goal gate. Below, you will find a description of crosses available in FIFA 19.
Classic top-cross
A classic top-cross is often the simplest and most effective way to get the ball into the penalty area. When crossing through air, you should use sufficient force to move the ball to the penalty area and find someone to shoot with his head or other effective shot. Before doing so, make sure that one of your players is running into the penalty area and will be able to shoot. If you want to carry out the classic top-crossing, press the throw-in key and choose the direction in which you want to send the ball.
Low cross
Another type of crossing, which can open a chance for a player to score a spectacular goal by shooting with a volley. Due to the fact that low cross is performed just above the pitch, high density in the penalty area significantly reduces the chances of the ball reaching the addressee. If you want to use this move, press the throw button twice and choose the right direction.
Ground cross
Ground cross is useful when you start a counter-strike, when a fast, dynamic play of the ball on the ground opens the chance for a player running into the penalty field to score a goal. Such an aggressive and strong thrust of the ball into the penalty area often results in confusion, which can result in scoring a suicide goal. To perform such cross, press the throw key three times and choose the right direction.
