Places shots or shoots with power?

i have a very talented striker which is scoring quite frequently, still, he is missing some chances as he sometimes shoots them on the keeper, however, those that he scores, are mostly from dribbling his marker and finishing with power since he has rounds keeper, kicks ball past opponents, and is now learning runs with ball often. Some of his goals are from weak, accurate shots, but usually only after dribbling the keeper.

however, im not sure if he should learn places shots, or shoots with power, since most of his goals are from blasting the ball, but would this actually make him miss more chances like blasting them over the goal or too wide? Since he has high composure and finishing, would it be a good idea?

Place shots for me with that finishing and composure, will hit the back of the net very often.

yea but many chances he has are when he dribbles his marker and shoots, usually at the entrance of the penalty area, so i dont know if using places shots would make the shots too weak to be effective from this distance

I would say use Shoots with Power would be better for him; or don't give him any PPM.

If he's scoring anyway; why bother?

Actually I agree with fyrros, I take back what I said, he's scoring so why bother?

If you have him place shots it's going to be unbeneficial for you as it will weaken his shots and thinking about it he doesn't have the decisions for it, I'm not sure he has the technique or long shots to be brilliant with powerful shots though.

I think he's better off without either now.

I'd say shoots with power.

But then again I'm biased

Place shot if you want him to score one-on-one.

Shoot with power for every other situation; however, based on my experience, it has a lower accuracy than placing shot.

Not to be annoying, but I think that BLASTING a ball will ALWAYS have a lower accuracy than PLACING a ball

oh.. to OP.. dont bother.. but if you really want to I'd try out Shoots with power

I've had good success with shoots with power on very good strikers, but like others have said, if he is already scoring heaps why limit him?

I wouldn't teach him anything. Let him choose how he wants to finish. He will score 9/10 times anyway with those attributes.

I also wouldnt teach him Runs With Ball Often because you want him to break offside trap receive the ball and send it into the net. Unlearn Argues With Officials as well.

Work on his Finishing and Technique until he turns 24 and then work on his Off The Ball Movement, Anticipation and Decisions.
