Snoop Robbie Rob Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I like Dzeko in real life but he's far too slow on FM, for me. I have him at Valencia as back up to Villa and he just isn't working, even though my team dominates the width and gives him all kinds of service, he just isn't quick enough to score consistently. He is a average-to-decent player, for me. Love him IRL though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roo-naldo Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 In my game, he has 16 for Acceleration and 14 for pace, and that's slow? I know it is in direct comparison with Villa but that's very good for a guy who is 6'4". Started my 5th season with United, and with Dzeko as a Poacher and Rooney as a Deep Lying Forward (Support), Dzeko has 12 in 12(2). Starting to really prove his worth now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

roo-naldo Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Believe me mate, not always Because I have a tendency to rotate a lot (players with 95% fitness don't even get a game unless there is an injury crisis lol), I kind of struggled to get Dzeko into top form, despite averaging 23 goals a season over four years. But this season he's just tearing it up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabio MVP Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Still better than I am! I started a new Man Utd save on 10.2 and really struggling. I think I'll quit playing, until 10.3 (when players actually may start scoring 1 on 1 chances). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roo-naldo Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Haha, shouldn't be so harsh on yourself I'm still on my Utd save from 10.1, can't be bothered downloading the patch tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabio MVP Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 It's better in all aspects, but not when ypu consider the amount of 1 on 1 chances created during match and amount of those chances missed.

DeathSpawn Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 ppffff after 10.2 patch dzeko went down... 1 vs 1 = shoots straight at keeper, add that to the supergks and now he went from 45 goals to 25...same tactics, same amount of chances Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnabon09 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 i'm not sure but i think he has gotten his stats tweaked on the 10.2 patch. crossing 10, composure 12. creativity 15. still about the same player, but i didn't like the drop in composure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobR Safc Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 awesome player, had him at sunderland for 3 seasons but had to sell him before the start of the fourth as he wouldnt accept a new contract so i thought i would cash in.

JhnMcK Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I bought him in my 3rd season at Newcastle United. £20.5m, a little pricey but he hasn't failed me. His goal to game ratio was nearly 1 every time. He did miss about 3 weeks due to injury but he is brilliant on his own or partnered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hetharia Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 So far Dze' played 8 with 4 goals and 4 assists in patch 2.. I am confused how to link him up with Ronaldinho and Pato.. So far Ronaldinho is my top scorer with 6 goals 2 assists in 7 games and finally pato 5 games 4 and 2.. Originally I put Dinho as attacking mid, Dze' as target man, and Pato as poacher.. Any input guys? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

[sSn] Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 What role do you guys put him for him to bag hell lot of goals? complete forward??? and do you guys give him a support or attacking role when teaming him up with another striker? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vasilli07 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I have him teaming up with Defoe(adv forward) as a complete forward(support), he supports more. If teaming up with Crouch(deeping lying forward), Dzeko will be on attack and he scores more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
[sSn] Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 do you think having both on attack would be a bad idea?? i have van persie as advanced forward attack and edin dzeko as complete forward attack. those two start in my 442 formation im doing pretty bad at the moment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vasilli07 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 The most important thing is balance. If you have 2 strikers on attack, they maybe too far ahead of the rest of team. So you may want 1 striker to be on support to help link things up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
[sSn] Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 im just worried that i might limit edin dzeko's scoring ability by doing so. has anyone tried having him on complete forward support?? does he do well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vasilli07 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 The most important thing is your team doing well...it's not about individual. Depending on who he is partnering, I have him both on support and attack, he has scored 16 goals with 11 assists in 26 games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincenzo incendio Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I've been playing him as complete forward and he's been doing fine. I might try him at poacher tho... Any ideas on what role I should set for Hulk now that he's joined the club? Drogba's got a broken leg and out for most of the year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
celtic_fc Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 The most important thing is balance. If you have 2 strikers on attack, they maybe too far ahead of the rest of team. So you may want 1 striker to be on support to help link things up. Agree with this, if you play with a deep or flat midfield then it's not a good idea to have both strikers on attack as there would be too much off a gap, unless you play a direct/long ball game ofc. But if you play with a AMC or AMR/AML's then it would probably be best to play them both on attack so they don't get in the way of the creative midfielders. Could well be wrong but that's the way I've always did it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluenose_92 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 says it all really. For that first season the stats are: 58(1) 60 13 21 3 0 0.82 65% 0.84 55% 46 191 7.59 I just set him as Target Man on support, nothing special Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blab Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I signed him for £12.5M halfway through the 11/12 season even though I've offered up to £50M to Wolfsburg. That'll teach them to refuse my bids I play him as trequartista in a 4-4-2 and his only defensive duty is to mark tall player while defending a corner. On the 10.1 patch he was a monster, scored 125 in 114 games. Since the 10.2 patch his goalscoring record toned down a little but his general play improved immensely. On the 10.1 patch he had 45 assists in 114 games and on the 10.2 49 assists in 77 games. He's been the European player/striker of the year, World player of the year, UEFA CL top scorer and best player three times in a row, world footballer and golden boot two times in a row, 4 times in a row in the world 11. Oddly, he is yet to win german footballer or striker of the year award Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig_R.U.F.C Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 He's one class act! Thats if you play on the 10.1, for me anyway. 50 in 42 games with my liverpool save cost me 18.5m & got offers begning of the 2nd season of around 40m from the top teams such as Man Utd, Madrid, Chelsea ect. I'd never sell him he is too good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoop Robbie Rob Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Honestly, wait a season and buy Acquafresca. He is much better than Dzeko, he seems livelier, seems to be more mobile and he bosses it more, for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
