Why doesn't my striker score much?
Medio Volante replied to lee.coyle's topic in Tactics, Training & Strategies Discussion
Tactics wise, maybe you can add "low crosses" instruction so that small strikers doesn't have to deal with high balls from your own wingers & wingbacks. -
Yeah, I have. I love this approach too, more realistic as a weaker team. What I don't like is obviously the more realistic results . Last 8 matches in PL -> 1W, 1D and 6L. Opposition's long shots and near post corners have been the bane of my existence. But hey at least I am in the semi final of FA Cup, gonna be facing Liverpool. Savio has been great, I have tried 4-3-3 playing him as a right W(at). 8 G/A in 5 matches in that role, but the 5 G/A were against West Brom and Blackburn in FA Cup. In the league, 4-3-3 has been awful for me, that's why I switched back to 5-2-2-1. Still sitting in 11th though, so not too bad. I'm in need of new goalie and midfielder, the current ones have been dreadful. Maybe I will put some clips later showing Savio's actions. Edit: The magic of FA Cup!

Yeah, that's what I thought too. My train of thought is that currently, I have 2 wingback type of fullbacks on each side (4 totals then), my CBs are young and I still haven't trusted them to protect the backline solidly in a back 4 formations. That's why I opted for 5-2-2-1. So, my plan currently is to just ride the wave, get a mid-table finish in my 1st season in PL. After that I can start thinking about using different formation. One thing that I'm considering is to play in a 4-3-3 so my left fullback can push up forward to combine with Philogene. During this transfer window, I also want to add some experience to my backline by getting Jannik Vestergaard for 2.8m (I know he's slow + maybe there are better young alternatives, but I want to keep the save interesting ). 4-3-3 idea with Savio as my W(at) on the right (still no ideal right FB (I want someone in the IFB mould in order for me to play 4-3-3) and DM other to replace the stop gap Cheikhou Kouyate): I guess I can retrain Serdar Saatci to be my FB(su) after getting the Jannik Vestergaard deal over the line. These are Jannik Vestergaard's attributes: My CBs' attributes: Update: Savio deal done Thankfully those clubs didn't put a bid quick enough besides Brentford. Next season is gonna be great having him on the wing. Let's just hope no UCL club will activate his release clause of 46.5m now.

Need your opinion, guys @Cloud9 and szymunk . I'm currently half way through the season, it's Jan 2025. I just sold Abdulkadir Omur for 11.5m pounds (Saudi came calling), my go to attacking midfielder. Do you think Savio is a good replacement for him? What I want from my two AMs (I play with 5-2-2-1 formation, attached below): Ball carrier to carry a potent counter attacking threat Ability to maneuver in small space when I want to break down teams as strong as/weaker than my team (same shape + balanced mentality, play out of defense, and standard defensive line) Do you think that Savio is a good replacement for him? I can get him for 18.5m, fighting against Brentford's (Championship team) 14.5m pounds bid for him. Savio's agent demands to be given star player + 39-52kp/w wage - making him the highest earner in my team. The highest paid players currently in my team are on 35kp/w (Leif Davis, Jaden Philogene, and Kelechi Iheanacho). Abdulkadir Omur's attributes: Savio's attributes: My tactic right now against bigger team/away fixtures in PL (Philogene/Iheanacho as AM(a)/shadow striker): Thanks ahead!

Agree. That Kroupi guy looks so good. One question though: can you remove things like inconsistency and doesn't enjoy big games through mentoring? I'm currently trying to survive my first year in PL too as Hull City and have been trying to find a CF/DLF that can be an all-actions type striker for me. But since my budget was only 35m and I can say that my squad quite over-achieved by getting promoted too early (thanks to the loanees, Liam Delap, Fabio Carvalho, and Tyler Morton), I needed to spend my money conservatively. Ended up getting Kelechi Iheanacho for free and Alexandr Sobolev for 6m pounds. Pretty happy with that! Currently sitting in 10th place after 18 matches, winning 8, drawing 3, and losing 7 matches. Kelechi Iheanacho: Alexandr Sobolev:

Crafting this nasty 6-2-2 out-of-possession shape for my newly promoted Hull City side in the Premier League to go toe-to-toe with The Big 6. Using both of my wingers to player-mark their wingers. In this case Harry Vaughan (not Philogene) was tasked to mark Bernardo Silva & Abdulkadir Omur was tasked to mark Jack Grealish. After 4 matches in the PL, I'm currently 4th with 10 points from 3 wins and 1 draw. Tactic: How it looked in-game: Result: 1-1 draw at home against Man City, 1-2 away victory against Aston Villa
