SpudsFan Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Hello, I am currently in my 4th season with Tottenham. I have used a few different tactics and all have been fairly successful - but have settled on one this season which is very defensively solid - we have conceded 6 goals in 25 premier league games (and also scored 51) and sit 5 points clear at the top. However, Harry Kane - my main striker - is not scoring as much as I would like him to. I have utilised him in a few different roles but have settled on a DF (s) at the moment due to my style of play - and he's scoring at the same rate in every role I have tried (CF (s/a) and DLF (s/a)). My aim is to get him to the 20 league goals a season mark - which I haven't been able to do. Perhaps it is because I have my secondary strikers, Munir and Berahino, chipping in with 4 - 8 a season as well as Eriksen, Alli, Ziyech and Son hitting that mark too - maybe a little higher. Or maybe it simply can't be achieved whilst maintaining the defensive solidarity I currently have? Has anyone got any suggestions? I have attached his history for the record, and also the tactic and goals scored/chances created screen too. On a side note, once I have finished the season and possibly made a few tweaks to my tactic (if I can find something beneficial) I am thinking of uploading it with a bit of a write up if anyone was interested? Thanks for your time and feedback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overmars Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Give him a different role with attack duty, and use an AP in the AMC spot. Of course, you could just keep it like it is and enjoy the team success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can be a little dull up top sometimes though, and maybe getting a couple more goals from Kane - even if it's just that - will help change a few of my draws or low scorers into more convincing wins. I noticed that we have scored 4 more DFK's than the next closest team - and my main taker (Ziyech) is unsettled at the moment as Bayern are knocking ...

Almighty Thermos Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I played a season with him as an AF and he scored nearly 40 goals. He did however have Alli, Ericsson and Lamela behind him in a tactic that I was trying to get as close to Pochettino's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
westy8chimp Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 do you want another playmaker... but yes agree with overmars ... Kane as AF or CF(a) would double his tally at least.. but then you don't need SS in the AM role... just AMC (s) would be ok .. if you do try AP then maybe make the WPs WMs ... you really cant have 3 playmakers in a very fluid system!

Okay, thanks. I'll give it a try! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMartello Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 What are your Team-instructions? And do you have any player instructions? It may help to find a solution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, thanks. I'll give it a try! When I get home from work I shall chuck up some screenshots. I play 4 at the back with the FB's on attack, Wanyama as a DMC(d) and Dembele as a DMC(s) but with gets further forward and dribbles more PI's. Alli in the AMCL as an SS, Eriksson as an AP(s) in the AMC spot and Lamela as a AMC(a) in the AMCL spot. Won the league easily in the first season. Kane top scorer, Dembele got the highest rating. Alli needs tweaking as he had a slack season. IIRC Lamela got about 17 goals I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorgvandervloed Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 @SpudsFan As some other already mentioned, at the moment, Kane isn't set up to be your main scorer. He is set up to support the Shadowstriker and Central Midfielder on support. Changing his role to a Complete Forward (support) would probably already help a little bit, although your system is still set up for your shadowstriker to excel.
