Why doesn't my striker score much?

[lee.coyle]

Hi guys,

 

Just after some advie on why my strikers aren't scoring much?

Is it to do with my tactics or are the strikers just rubbish?

Winning a lot of games, I' top of league and goals come from wingers/midfield, just would like a few more from the strikers.

Main striker:

Formation & Tactics:

 

Backup striker:

Your backup striker is better then the your first choice

I think you should try to use your centre forward as a hard-working forward and let him play independently of his position.

I am not going to critique your tactic since you are top of the league. Your striker has scored 13 goals in 26 league games which isn't too shabby at all albeit he has underperforming his XG by two goals which is something I would look at by taking a deeper dive in to what he's doing attacking wise but it must be noted that his poor heading, average bravery and below average strength means he's not very well rounded. Another one of the one things I would look at in the context of analyzing a match is that PPM "Comes deep to get ball". If you want your striker to spearhead your attack, how is that PPM affecting what is happening in your match.

Just to emphasize my point about Parrott and the fact he won't use that height he has:

This is my well rounded striker who is one inch shorter than Parrott in the Spanish 2nd Division

This is Troy Parrott in his 2024/2025 season on my save

The shorter one, does he has higher jumping reach? Given the good headers won %

He does, as well as being stronger and more brave which is why I say he's more well rounded and possibly one of the reasons why OPs striker is not as prolific as he would like him to be.
