New Striker Can't Score? (FM16)


Recommended Posts

Just from the get go, this is my first FM game that I have played.

Recently, I decided to start a Football Manager save with Chelsea.

Considering their striker options are Costa, Remy and Falcao, I decided to add a second high level, star striker for Costa to compete with. To fulfil this role I decided to go with Alvaro Morata of Juventus. At only 22 years old he is 3.5 stars and has much potential to improve. I thought that these qualities were worth the £40,000,000 I decided to pay for him and boy was I wrong!

It is now nearly January and he has played 17 games (3 sub appearances) and has a grand total of 0 goals.

It's not as if my team aren't scoring: Hazard has 11, Costa 9, Willian 6. I don't know what it is but it seems that it is simply impossible for him to score, he misses the easiest clear cut chances I have seen and always manages to shoot right at the keeper or even put it wide!

Is there anything I can do to sort out Morata's goal drought? It is greatly effecting his confidence and he has already gone down in value by 1m!

Welcome to the forums Brusk :)

That's a difficult question to answer without any more details...

i.e , what your formation is, what support he has, is he getting chances and just not converting or is he not getting on the ball etc..

I'd suggest maybe checking out the tactics forums on here... it's full of helpful info and guides. Don't feel daunted by it all, there are guides for almost everything and there are question and answer threads in there where you can ask any questions you might have..

He is usually playing in his most preferred role as a Complete Forward with Willian and Hazard as attacking wingers beside him. I usually play a 4123 Wide and from his 17 games he hasn't managed to score. He is getting plenty of chances and is always on the ball but he can't seem to convert anything whatsoever! Further support is Fabregas in the centre as an attacking advanced playmaker.
