Is there a system/strategy for when you get the ball near opponent's penalty box...

i can move up the ball up the pitch fine but when i get near his penalty box, i'm lost.
surely there is a basic approach, right? i pass it to the striker and am like "uh, there's a wall of four defenders. what do i do now?"
yeah, i can always bring the ball down the sidelines with a wing and cross for a header, but that gets boring.
i'm just wondering if there is a systematic approach/way of thinking when approach penalty box area. like "Step 1: look for such and such player as your go to man. Step 2: if he's covered, pass back to midfielder. Step 3: etc"|||In my UT I play with one up front so its either 1-2s with my cf/cam both over the top and along the floor or take the defender away from goal, if only a few steps then turn him and place one in the opp bottom corner. Scored a cracker with Benzema yesterday doin exactly that.|||
For all of the many faults of this product, one of the things they have gotten right is that forwards are no longer absolute one man armies. You cannot receive a pass with back to goal near the box and simply waltz into the goal to do a tap in or blast it through a defender. Amazingly, as in real ilfe (go play in a pub league see how many times a forward successfully turns to face the goal near the penalty box and dribbles through 3 men) sometimes you must PASS IT BACKWARDS IN ORDER TO GO FORWARDS.
It becomes comically easy with the sheer amount of morons who defend via double pressure.|||pass the ball around, do give and goes, lob the ball to the opposite side of the goal, shoot from distance, so many options.|||Answer: Study how Barca creates opportunities in the real world. Not joking. :)
