Ratboy Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Does he play the full ninety or do you sub him off before that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggusD Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 6-7 games I think. I just tell them "no pressure" once they haven't scored in 4-5 matches and then problem fixed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobble2002 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Mine was Luchiano Becchio with Leeds , got to 21 goals for the season really quick and then over 1000 minutes of play for the rest of the season and the playoffs. Sold him at the start of the following season when i got 3 better strikers on freebies and was offered half a million for him . then sold one of those strikers, Christhian Stuani who i got for free to Fulham 3 weeks after getting him when they offered me four and a half million . Must be one of the best pieces of business ever . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James RFC Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Why you still playing him if he aint scoring ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobble2002 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Because at the time the only striker i had spare was Billy Paynter out injured for the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazaru5 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Why you still playing him if he aint scoring ? why wouldn't he play? He has 5 assists so it's not like he isn't contributing something to the cause... and if he doesn't play then how is he supposed to end his drought?

He has 5 assists so it's not like he isn't contributing something to the cause... and if he doesn't play then how is he supposed to end his drought? 22 games 0 goals 5 assist hardly contributing and theres only so long you can keep playing a striker that aint scoring Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dob1 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 For Vaduz in switzerland I had my striker go 33 games in the first season without scoring, but we still managed promotion, and then he went 19 games in his second season, in the top division, without scoring before he retired. Total of something like 52 hours without a goal. Good job his partner was scoring for fun! I also had another player striker the same first year whose contract was running out at the end of the year, used to rotate him with the player above for my second striker slot, he didn't score in 15 in the league, yet we got to the last 2 games and he hits 2 goals in each game to secure us a play-off spot and then hits a hat-trick and another 2 in the play-offs to send us up. I was very tempted to give him a new contract but he wanted his wage doubling from £400p/w to £800p/w. So I let him so, he's now hit 22 in 18 for a team in the second division. I feel like an idiot!

heathxxx Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 My goalkeeper. He's never scored... and there was me thinking I'd signed "The next Rene Higuita" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranquelme Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I had Michael Owen go 20 hours without a goal. He broke his duck against some non league team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_numbers Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Technically, he's the AI, but never mind. Chris "His manager must be in" Payne is up to 2121 minutes. 26 appearances without finding the back of the net. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netris Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Iaquinta was awesome for me in my first season with Juventus and was top scorer of Serie A. After that he was also amazing in pre-season with 7 goals in 5 matches but lost his form right after the league started. He didn't score any goal until March, he was even missing penalties. But he stayed terrible even after his first goal of the season and didn't score another goal that season. My top scorer was centre back Bonucci with 12 goals (all from corners). I don't remember how many matches it was, but he played in almost every match from September to March (my other strikers were terrible too). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
