Shorty Boy Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 In the England squad, I mean i play him as a lone striker in a 4231 formation and he never seems to score. Am i doing anything wrong? thanks for replies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandui Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Try playing him as a Complete Forward on support, did well for me in the World Cup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronaldo_rooney Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Not sure TBH mate, he scores loads for me when playing as a lone striker...in any role. Not so good when he has a strike partener. I play him as a Advanced Forward on attack. Try to get your wingers to cross less and play more through balls, that should help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoRobbo Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 completely realistic at the moment then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kezman9 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I always used Rooney as a Poacher and he has scored most of the time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurkingwithintent Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Put him as a Poacher, target man with the supply set to run onto ball. Get your midfielders trying through balls regularly and sit back and watch him destroy teams Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon army 06 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I always used Rooney as a Poacher and he has scored most of the time talk about wasting a players talent so your idea of using rooney is have him stand about waiting to punce on a chance. get some average player to do that not someone as good as rooney Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdpatriots12 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Aye when I think of a Poacher I think of say, Theo Walcott. "Stand there and wait for the ball. Then run towards the goal and kick it. That's your job." ...granted I don't use wingers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyACE Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 LOL, Fabio is trying to figure that one out at the moment as well. Perhaps you two should get together for a brainstorming session Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron1606 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I've used Rooney as a poacher too, and he will score so many because he gets so many good chances that he won't waste. But to get more from him all-round, he's best as a complete forward on attack either on his own or next to an advanced forward or target man (support).

CooCooKaJoo Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 i belive this thread is valid in real life as well as on your save game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crouchaldinho Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Complete Forward (support). He's definitely not a poacher! Reserve that for Jermain Defoe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swisso Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I'd back the 'Support' shouts. I had trouble with Ibrahimovic getting involved in games as he'd just get crowded out and couldn't find any space. So i dropped him deeper as Deep Lying Forward (Support) to get him involved more and there was a noticable improvement in his goals, assists and ratings.

Shorty Boy Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 Thanks for the replies guys i have tried playing him in the complete forward support role and he scored in the 2nd min are you listening Fabio? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
