Lone Striker: Attributes Required?

Pretty much what it says "on the tin".

Strength? Pace? Acceleration? Determination?

I cannot seem to get any success with any player in this role. Exceptionally good ones too.

NB: I'm in 2036 so there are no real players anymore.

It's not about the striker, it's more the role you choose for him and the service he gets from midfield that counts.

much like TG says, it depends on what you want him to do and what kind of formation you play

Try the Tactics & Training Forum for lots of discussion on tactical questions, much like your question. Lone strikers have been discussed in a number of formations and threads.

Like was said above, it really really really depends on how you want him to perform and what the rest of your tactical approach looks like.

You can use the game to find out what attributes are the most important for the role. Setup the roles for your tactic and put a player in the position you want to check. Then click on the shirt icon for that role/player and the window at the side will show his attributes and highlight the important ones.
