Harry Kane - pens and lack of goals

[FulchesterFred]

Kane. Who as a compete forward has got 1 goal in 12 games. In my save. Lol. Did this in my last match. Bear in mind he’s missed two pens in 3 years IRL.

Harry Kane is probably one of the best pure strikers in the game, so if you struggle to get goals from him, then I'd take a hard look at my tactical setup and see why he struggles to score. If you cannot find out, then head into the tactics forum and have a read.

I'm playing same formation as you and have a lot of success getting him to score... I have setup my tactic in a way that the striker will "always" be the leading goal scorer.

I had this with Icardi at Inter a few FM's ago. He literally went a whole season missing over half his penalties and missing 1v1s basically every game. i think the only goals he scored were a few penalties and headers from corners. And he had some of the best composure, penalties and finishing attributes in the whole game. 

I ended up selling him since he was wanted by a few clubs. But my advice would be not to focus on tactics. It seems like you're just incredibly unlucky, and you might just need to drop Kane, or talk to him, or slam him in the press conferences. 

This has happened to me 3 or 4 times after playing hours and hours in FM, and trust me, you just know when it's not the tactic and 100% the player. Also had it with a player with 20 free kicks, went from scoring 5 a season to not even getting close to scoring in the next 3 seasons.
