In brief
AI summaryIn FIFA 22, you cross with square (X on Xbox) on classic controls or O (B on Xbox) on alternate controls; pressing it twice sends in a weak, low cross.
The other way to play a low cross in FIFA 22 is R1 immediately followed by the cross button, ideally while a teammate runs toward goal parallel to you.
FIFA 22 low crosses rarely beat a set defense but work on wing counter-attacks with a fast forward and a winger whose preferred foot matches their wing.

FIFA 22 low cross tactics might not be as effective as they were in FIFA 21, but they're still effective! We all remember how effective low crosses were last year, especially before the first patch. Even though FIFA 22 low crosses aren't quite as effective, it's still worth learning how to do them. How do you play a low cross in FIFA 22? Which buttons do you need to press for a low cross? How do you get an assist with a cross for Ultimate Team objectives? We've written down everything you need to know!
How Do You Play a Low Cross in FIFA 22?
Let's first recall how to cross at all in FIFA 22. To cross in FIFA 22, you need to press square (X on Xbox) if you're playing with classic controls, or O (B on Xbox) if you're playing with alternate controls. So how do you play a low cross? You have 2 options for this. First, you can press the cross button twice in quick succession. When you press the cross button twice in a row, you'll get a weak but low, ground-hugging cross. But do you actually want that? Probably not :) So we'll give you the tactics for scoring goals with a low cross in FIFA 22 under the next heading.
How Do You Score With a Low Cross in FIFA 22?
Your other option for playing a low cross in FIFA 22 is pressing R1 immediately followed by the cross button. With the R1 + square combination, while advancing down the wing, ideally wait for your player to be running toward goal parallel to you. Low crosses you send in against a well-set defense will most likely be cut out easily by the opposing defense. However, a cross you deliver as a result of a counter-attack developed down the wing in particular can have fantastic results. You need a forward fast enough to get past the opposing defense and a winger whose preferred foot matches the wing they're playing on. If you pay attention to these two details, you'll see that pressing R1 + square for a low cross in FIFA 22 lets you score goals with ease and complete all the Ultimate Team objectives.
