Premiership Striker 14 finishing too low ?

Hey guys i was just wondering for a poacher is 14 finishing too low?

couldnt take SS everytime over his profile and when i press f12 it takes a pic of the data ( days played etc)

Cheers

try Alt+F9 for a screenshot .

In regards to the finishing attribute, what are his other key attributes for the role? anticipation, composure, off-the-ball, determination and maybe pace.

cheers

Oh i only put this thread up because he is scoring but seems to miss quite a few 1 on 1 s

I've edited my post.

Anticipation : 11

Composure: 13

Off the Ball: 17

Determination: 18

Pace : 18

his finishing was 12 and im training him to improve

dribbling? He should be good enough for a top ten team straight away...with improvement a top 4 one.

his dribbling is 13 i was just wondering because people on these forums player x finishing is 20 i was just wondering if he needed a higher finishing to do well

14 finishing is a good attribute for a Premier League striker, even the top clubs (as long as it is not the only good attribute of course).

Ok Cheers .

14 is fine. Work on his composure, and the due to his pace he will be a goal machine. Only 23 aswell, so he could be a very good striker for you.

Mental stats are very important.

whilst he is not brilliant, he would do a good job with a good team around him, very good off the ball means he will be in the right place a lot of the time and he has masses of pace which will be a good asset.

Yep. If you look at Jermain Defoe as a comparison, then this ruben fella could scored tons of goals. 20+ p/season easy, as he is in a (presumably), good UTD side.

yeah he get himself plenty of chances with those stats, i personally like players a bit more rounded, better team work and work rate but he will def get a good number of goals each season, good in the air as well, i always change the height and weight to feet and stones so not sure how tall he is lol but i would imagine he would be around 6ft tall?

Looks like a very good player, and could easily score 20+ goals a season if played right. However, I'd consider retraining him as a winger as he's got very good attributes for a winger as well. Just something to bare in mind I guess.

I would try and get his anticipation up as well. But if you can't be bothered then he should do well now. His pace is good.

Yeah he looks awesome, and he would be pretty good as a winger too, just that'd detract from his potential in other areas I'd imagine.

I just hate those "dick-shaped" strikers...

They look good, but besides their impressive pace, there's not enough quality to make them good strikers at top level... I'd just retrain them as wingers, as I haven't found a suitable sub-role as strikers to truly take advantage of their pace...

22 yrs old, 7 caps for Spain, 5 goals.

3 goals in 4 games for you in the league.

Why do you need to ask if he's good enough?

Definitely good enough - AM R/L is his best position though.

Caps were in Confedarations cup ( yes i know my spelling is bad)

well he was decent in earlier seasons, but was wondering to sell, i am not now though

Edit: oh 100th post nice

Agreed he looks like a great player but AM R/L is not his best position.

His best position is up front, his best role is poacher. He would also do well as advanced forward, inside forward (AM C/R/L) or winger (M L/R or AM L/R), although ideally he would have to be retrained if played anywhere other than centre forward.

I'm playing in a network game with a mate and he has this regen striker with only 10 finishing, and he's been banging them in for fun for the past 4 seasons as a poacher, i think he only has 4 good stats (pace, acceleration, composure, and another stat i can't think of off hand)

So looking at your player i'd say he can more then cut it in the Prem.

Pace is great he should be scoring close to a goal a game. If Agbonlahor can score 20 plus goals a season this guy will easily.

And Bravery was the stat i forgot from above.

He's a lot similar to my strikers. The finishing on mine has really been bugging me, as one is 13 and one is 14. They are missing a lot of easy breaks that a normal striker would make.

This guy's my Moroccan striker, Yassine Benali. He used to play on the first team, but now he's a sub, as it really seems to me that a striker with more finishing is better. (He missed a lot of simple goals and prevented us from winning some simple games.)

This guy's my new first team striker, Miguel. He was a sub last year, and scored a good amount of goals especially in Continental matches. His better finishing seems to have led him to more goals then Benali would have this season, so therefore I am using this guy as my first team player for the season.

Overall it seems that Miguel has preformed much better then Benali with the improved finishing, and his standing in the team has improved because of it. Last season my assistant coach said he had no chance of being as good as Benali, and look where he ended up. Although it could be from other stats, it really seems to me that his better finishing has scored him way more goals then Benali would have had this season. If you can find a good striker with better finishing then the one you have, I personally would suggest taking him, he'd score a lot more goals based on what I've found.

Nice regen's dune . Ruben just got 4 for me in a 0-7 thrashing of everton

Quite glad barcelona transfer listed him for £550K

to dune297, the main reason miguel is doing better than yassine benali is his pace is excellent, i would seriously consider trying to improve his off the ball stat and train him to place shots

Maybe another hint the ME (or the whole game) is heavily biased toward players with impressive physical attributes?

Players with high pace and mediocre "scoring" skills (finishing, composure, decisions...) shouldn't really be scoring like a Van Nistelrooy or an Inzaghi...

When I see all those pacey-but-average newgen strikers scoring plenty, I can't help but thinking about Oba Martins' stats...

It is quite realistic but perhaps speedy players should not score as many as the likes of Ruud, if Gabby Agbonhlahor had the level of support that RVN had then he would score quite a few more just because of his pace. Being able to catch up and overtake defenders who are 5 yards ahead of you is a good talent to have.
