Strikers scoring ..?

What formations do yo ufind strikers score more or what roles given to a player scores most..?

I find when trying to play 1 up as a lone striker he never scores..

Poacher. Set him as target man, run onto ball. Assuming he has good pace and acceleration.

I'm currently using a 4-4-2 diamond (4-1-2-1-2), and with an advanced playmaker, two wingers, and a trequartista and target man up front. My target man is leading the league in goals scored (can't remember the number though), and right behind him is the trequartista. The backup to the trequartista is also doing well, with something like 14~15 goals, and the backup target man also has like 12.

Those are the roles I've used, but I've tweaked the individual instructions a lot for each individual player, so I really don't know if they are as effective if you were to just use them as they are.

I find that fast strikers who are good at dribbling and set to poacher always do very well and tall strikers good at heading and set to target man do quite badly.

Depends on the player, really.

My AMC which i play in MCa in a flat 4-4-2 is my top scorer this year and last year with like 25 goals from 30 games, thing is he oftern scores goals from corners as i place him out side the box to lurk..

My top striker has 21 goals in 30 games, i dont use the wizard, i have made a tactic from the old style so what his overall instructions resemble i'm not really sure..

Depends on the player, really.

I run a 4-5-1 (midfielders are set up with 2 wingers, a mid and 2 defensive mids) and my striker is set as a poacher, although he's also very good, but he scores very often in this formation.

I play a big target man up front with two inside fowards providing support, he hit 18 goals last season which isn't bad considering that scoring isn't really his main role.

Classic 4-4-2 formation, with the more "creative" of the two strikers set to normal mentality, the other one is set to full attacking. Both are set to run with the ball often, run from deep and long shots are set to sometimes, and crossing/through balls are set to rarely. The two players I have playing as the creative striker (listed as FC) have scored 23 and 18 goals, respectively, this season. I have 3 other strikers that have all scored at least 7 goals playing as the all-out attacker (listed as ST.)

I find that fast strikers who are good at dribbling and set to poacher always do very well and tall strikers good at heading and set to target man do quite badly.

Heading is generally crap which is why taller strikers don't do as well unless they can also finish with their feet. The vast majority of my goals are scored from long shots or breakaways/through passes.

Also depends on the tactics. When you play fast over the ground a target man with good heading obviously won't do as well.

Im using a 4-3-3, with a supporting target man and to attacking advanced forwards. I've got the 2 best strikers in the game and another good goal scorer, and I've just signed the 3rd best stiker on the game, so hopefully i'll be hitting 100 goals next season

P.S. I've just won my first top league title ( English premiership )

I find that fast strikers who are good at dribbling and set to poacher always do very well and tall strikers good at heading and set to target man do quite badly.

O rly?

Tell that to Fernando Llorente!

I have more...

My best results with strikers have always been with a TM--> Support and a Poacher--> Attack.

the formation where u drop dead for being a PR1Ck

Reported the fool above,fingers crossed he gets a perm ban.

here, fingers crossed your father crushes your skull of your babys head in hope both skulls crack and both of you have to eat through a tube

here, are you on ladbrokes playing big willy and losing all the dosh? cause if you have a ******** family to provide for that cannot be healthy for the finances you know? you should stop the gambling and start the smoking and drinking, far safer

I like to play with 1 poacher (small fast skilful type) and 1 deep-lying forward (big, strong, good in the air, good passing and teamwork). Works very well for me as a combo.

when playing witha lone striker i like to have wingers that are set to inside forwards as they seem to give enough support for my striker to score plenty. Whenever i've set them to wingers my striker doesn't score as much.

I played an advanced forward and a poacher in my last season with Boro in the Championship. My advanced forward scored 40 odd goals in 40 odd appearances and my poacher scored about 20 goals and layed on a fair few assists too. Probably also down to my central midfielder who layed on 30 odd assists in 40 odd appearances.

My advanced forward with attack duty runs circles around everyone, almost no matter who it is.

He's accompanied by a deep-lying striker with attack duty.
