Also restrict their attacking duties.

My French is terrible compared to your English, you actually speak better english then some English speakers on the forum.

I always let in loads of goals this way too. However, in the past couple of games I appear to have at least reduced the amount.

I've kept the defensive line the same (one less than push up), but actually reduced the closing down of my fullbacks who were getting pulled out of position, leaving the centre backs pulled out to cover them and leaving holes. Then I reduced the mentality of my side midfielders, increased their closing down and stopped any of my side players running (setting forward runs to rarely). Won my last two games 3-2 and 4-1. Yep, all goals due to crosses, yet once I implimented the changes it was easier to deal with.

No doubt, like all my other changes, it will only last 5 minutes then it'll be back to the drawing board.

Just read in another thread about putting barrows ( backward arrows) on your fullbacks. Maybe could be worth a try. That way they shouldn't get dragged out of position so much and should hopefully be able to stop the crosses happening in the 1st place

I had a problem with Chelsea's wingers pinging in crosses to their Torres/Drogba/Sheva and I nicked a win by playing Gerrard and Riise wide midfield and manmarking those Chelsea wingers. It did work, and then I had Kuyt closing down on their rampaging leftback too.
