My greatest strike force is the ones I have now at Genoa.

3 strikers.

The eldest is a 21yo Brazilian Ibrahimovic-like player, 28 goals in 25 apps so far.

My fast striker is a 19yo Greek, 12 goals in 23apps so far.

My other one is a 19yo Italian, from the Genoa youth team, 23 goals in 30 apps.

Can't wait till they're a bit older and even better.

In FM2005 I grabbed a fifteen year old Supat Rungratsamee on a free from Portsmouth for my Hull city save when they were languishing in the lower divisions. He scored 84 league goals in that first season as a 15 year old and lead the club all the way to successive champion's league titles. Wish I had a screenie but the PC that game was played on had an unfortunate clumsy static incident when I tried to upgrade the RAM on it a few years ago. Oops.

This is for my Liverpool team.

Nathan Vasquez - 144 goals, 65 assists - 136 games. 85 goals in 75 caps for USA

Richard Taylor - 52 goals, 31 assists, 96 games. 17 goals in 15 caps for England

Paul Withe - 75 goals, 50 assists, 129 games. 18 goals in 24 caps for England, playing on the wing as an inside forward(I manage England)

My wingers have also contributed, with 75 goals between them in 3 seasons, and 81 assists.

I'm changing it up if I win everything this season, as I expect to do. Will switch to a wing back formation instead of my current 4-4-2, so will sell the wingers for copious cash amounts. Just to keep it interesting.

In a Rangers save on CM01-02 (I think) I signed a regen from Hungary called Thomas Horvath. Top scorer for about five seasons in a row and took us to the Semis of the European Cup. A bid of 15m from Milan was too tempting, and he won European Footballer of the Year with them among numerous honours.

My third most memorable striker would have been a guy from Brazil I signed for my Barca team. Can't remember his name or what version the game was. An absolute monster, and won ten La Ligas in a row. My brother took over the club after that and despite 150 million in the bank decided to sell the best talent and replace them with bizarre cheap signings from Cambodia and China.

Adailton could be a new favourite in my current Valencia save. I signed him for Ajax and he has scored about 60 goals in three seasons at age 21. Trying to lure him to Valencia. Not so easy when you don't have any cash.

My best strike force was Aguero, and Cardozo in my Bayern game. Cardozo was a god with heading, and simply stunning with frees - whilst Aguero easily out ran/dribbled/played anyone else in world. Cardozo finished with an average of over a goal a game and a boatload of 9-10 performances.

I think back in CM 96/97 (plus or minus a year) I got myself a regen through my youth ranks who turned out to be incredibly good. He called himself Thijs Thijssen (a really creative name), but while not branded a wonderkid, he kept improving all the time.

I'm not sure how much he scored (I stopped playing the game/save for years now due to 'array out of bounds errors'), but he simply put them away all the time. I recall clubs willing to pay 50M back then (which was also the max. you could offer), but he got my team as his favorite, so he didn't leave :D

Best result is probably the CL final against Barcelona, where he scored a hattrick, out of the 5 or 6 goals I scored against them, while keeping the goal clean myself.

I've never managed to find such a wonderful guy again, though.

Never had a particularly amazing strikeforce, probably the best two strikers I've had on FM10 so far are Negredo in 11/12 at Sevilla and Paloschi in 13/14 for Chelsea.

Ched Evans was amazing for me with Wednesday on last year's FM. (this was BEFORE he'd signed for United in real life...)

You were so lucky to get a 16 year old of that ability. He'll beat Roberts' record, for sure.

FM2007: Adrian Xhafa, Albania. He was found by my scouts on eastern europe. Singed him when he was 19 and had to loan him out 6 months to reapply for a Wp which he thankfully got. He made an immediate impact on my Sheff United side, scoring loads of goals and dribbling many opposition players, Adrian made me win every imaginable championship with Sheffiled United. Xhafa also won Fifa Wolrd Player of the year 3 times. He scored many magical goals dribbling players like Maradona, running fast through defenders like Eto, shooting unstoppable balls from outside the area and even placed headers. For me he was the perfect striker. Unfortunately he couldn´t take Albania to glory, but they defeated big nations thanks to Adrian Xhafa.

FM07/08 - Can't remember which one it was.

He was called 'Junior' from Brazil. Something like 400 Career appearances 440 Career goals. I've never been able to get more from a striker. FM10, Carlos Vela and Neymar have come close but not close enough to beat him.

Damn, i missed that version of FM.

Mine was on either FM05, or 06

In my 1st season at united i signed Robinho and Klose, this was the robinho that was at santos at the start of the game, and Klose who had 20 heading. That season i can remember that they were the top 2 scorers in the premier league :thup: and this carried on for a a few seasons until Klose started to decline :thup:

I loved those two upfront together.

He's been mentioned already, quite obviously, but it has to be Andri Sigþórsson.

Can't recall exactly which version this was ('99-'00?), but it was almost set-and-forget management - plonk him up front, tell him to run with ball, sit back and collect managerial honours. Almost too easy.

Honorary mentions to Isaac Nkubi, Tonton Zola Moukoko and Javier Saviola.

Ah, the good old days. :D

Justin Mason is my personal favourite on FM10. I first signed him when I was in the championship with AFC Wimbledon after he left West Ham on a free. I then signed him again when I moved to Leeds in the Premiership for a bargain £1.3 million. He went on to score a record 327 league goals for Leeds (457 goals in total) and an all-time high of 79 goals for England in 101 caps. He was also captain of club and country and oversaw Leeds' rise to dominance in Europe, and England winning the European championship in 2024 and the World cup in 2026. I unfortunately haven't got a screenshot of his stats as a player, but they weren't that special, he had good pace, stamina, finishing and composure, all around 18+ and he was decent in the air. But he was so damn consistent he would regularly tear teams apart. Not bad for a West Ham reject!

Leeds all-time best

England all-time best

He's a manager now, and I find it quite funny that his managerial style is 'very cautious'. For a guy who was probably the most one-dimensional, all-out attacking player I can remember!

Back on CM01/02

My Strike force for my all conquering RKC Waalwijk side was the legend that was Eldar Hadzimehmedovic and a regen called Walter Rodriguez (who im pretty sure was a regen of Gabriel Batistuta)

I've had 3 all time classics!

On fm09: Bojan/Aguero - Both got 30 league goals in a season.

fm10: Aguero/pato - pretty much the same (both were newcastle)

fm10: 2 regens calls Diego Rocchi and serkan usta. Both scored 30 a season and eventually Rocchi beat giuseppe meazza's record of 246 goals for inter.

Aguero is always my favourite signing haha.
