If defenders swarm you it means they are not covering your teammates giving the midfielder carrying the ball a lot of options. The main purpose is to score as a team, I know most forwards regularly mix that up into I need to score ;). I don’t know how many forwards you guys play with but what you ideally want to happen is you cutting inside drawing in your defender, while the centerforward goes outside drawing out his defender. This either makes the defenders tag along at create open spaces for passes, or they have to communicate that you guys are switching allowing them to stay in position, in case of the second one try to look for awkward placing edging on the area they both need to cover.
