Ronnie Farrell Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 In my second season with Aston Villa and just pulled off a major transfer coup getting Adriano from Inter.....I'm 12 games into the season and he has yet to score in the league or the league cup and has a average rating of just 6.18. So wondering if anyone out there has got the best out of him and how you managed it....becuse he still is young and has all the stats to fire in the goals......Cheers in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoonaldo Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 set as targetman and play the ball into feet. maybe set his long shots to often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilajio Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Mate ive tried everything with Adriano and nothing will work, sell him and try and buy Scott Sinclair from chelsea . Play Ashley young upfront and he will score loads for you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I have bought him twice before and he never seemed to do much at all there are far better strikers than him out there. Try like the other post said target man and long shots often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Roosterman Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 In my second season with Aston Villa and just pulled off a major transfer coup getting Adriano from Inter.....I'm 12 games into the season and he has yet to score in the league or the league cup and has a average rating of just 6.18.So wondering if anyone out there has got the best out of him and how you managed it....becuse he still is young and has all the stats to fire in the goals......Cheers in advance I had him in my Liverpool side and I found him a great player. He was a mainstay upfront in my squad for 7 years until I sold him (I had some good, young talent coming through). I found him best used up front on the left hand side when partnered with another striker on his right (usually Fernando Torres). I had him set to All out Attack" as his mentality, with normal creativity, forward runs frequent and run with ball frequent. For corners and free kicks I left them on the default setting (I normally played a 4-4-2). You need your midfielders to try thru balls often, and have wingers cross the ball often, with them aiming for his feet as he prefers ball played to feet. He does need a bit of egio stroking, and will take deserved praise and criticism well, so use the media comments to your advantage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

x42bn6 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Let him do what he wants, with high creative freedom. Try balls to feet, possibly targetman, occasional running with ball. He was a good buy for me - 300,000 pounds in the 2nd season - and he did score a handy amount of goals and never sulked nor complained. And was sad to leave my club a few seasons later.

SneakyDave Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I bought him in the 08/09 season for Man United, for years he worked very well, keeping Rooney and Aguero rotating. Adriano was my main goal-scoring threat. In 2010 I went to Real Madrid looking for a new challenge. All I had up front was Robinho, and I always prefer to play him as an AM. Adriano on a free after being released from my old United! And he kept scoring goals until he was 34 (When I pursuaded him to become a scout after retirement), even scoring the winner in my 3rd consecutive CL competition win! Set him as a target man, preferably with two AMC players feeding him the ball (either to feet or to head... But he does have awesome long shots so to feet may work better). He's also great at penalties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I hate Adriano too. If you leave him out for one game he gets stroppy, and this has an affect on the rest of your squad's morale. Having him on your squad is like being with a girl on her period... I'd sell him TBH, I don't find he scores enough anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevchenko Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Remember maybe FM06... the one with the corner cheat where you played the ball to penalty area, get everyone on back post and have a man with long shots outside box... Adriano scored 101 in a season. So I will always like him. From what I hear Jose is starting to use him down the right at Inter... hopefully he will be better on FM09 because he was a let down for my Portsmouth side.
