Striker positioning on crosses

Min Read
Trackers

At MyGamePlan we can combine and sync all your data sources, and give you the power to fully customize any metric and easily answer any tactical question. In this example, we look at how to track if your striker attacks zone 17, the most dangerous area, during crosses.

This can be part of an Individual Development Plan for your striker, and we will break down how you can set up the tracker, compare performance, check trends and instantly check the video.

Tracker set up

A Rule Tracker marks when something does—or doesn’t happen. Here we use event data to check when a Liverpool player makes a cross, and sync that with tracking data to mark if Nunez is positioned in zone 17 at that moment.

Benchmark against positional peers

Erling Haaland leads the way, but Nunez is ranked amongst the best performing forwards in the league, and is positioned in Zone 17 for 74% of all crosses.

Nunez ranks 7th in the Premier League

Trendline tracks performance across the season

Strikers positioned in Zone 17 during crosses have a higher chance of scoring. Our trendline shows how that performance changes over time. While Nunez averages a strong 73%, dips in certain matches may reflect tactical shifts, opposition setups, or player habits worth reviewing.

Video turns data into development

In this example, as Luis Díaz delivers a cross, Nunez is positioned perfectly in Zone 17 to attack and test the goalkeeper. Our platform automates the tagging and delivery of such moments directly to the players, helping reinforce the right behaviors.

Feedback clips support positive repetition

In the same game, as Trent Alexander-Arnold crosses from the right half-space, Nunez isn’t even in the box. While there may be tactical context behind it, this kind of moment gives coaches and analysts a chance to deliver clear, evidence-based feedback — and build it into the player’s Individual Development Plan.
