first off it is important to get in behind the defense(just crossing it into a packed organized defense wont be too effective)
which is quite easy to do against most opponents by holding up the ball with your winger(you usually pull out the RB that way) and play the ball in behind to your fullback
his defense now is slightly disorganized(his LCB pushed outside) and he usually only has one CB in the middle to cover.
In that situation going near post with the cross will be very effective because your striker is usually behind the CB(closer to the far post) so he will expect you to put it in there, but you go near post and pull away from the defender and go in front of him, bam goal
