Hello, asking for some tactical advice with my 4-2-3-1, primarily with my instructions in conjunction with me trying to get my striker involved in the game more.
Marcus Leonardo only had 18 goals in all competitions, less then Rashford and Gonçalves, and even with those 18 goals he only averaged a 6.96 all year, which to me implies that if he's not scoring, he's not impacting the game in any way to earn a high rating. I had Gonçalves as a Shadow Striker last year which leads me to think he was getting in roughly the same positions as Leonardo meaning the 18 goals was because they were occupying the same place. The reason I had Gonçalves as a Shadow Striker however is because if i didn't there's a high chance Leonardo wouldn't impact a game, leading to Rashford being the only goal threat.
My tactic relies on the front 5 in attack being from left to right;
Udogie, Rashford, Leonardo, Gonçalves, Sancho.
With Caicedo providing cover on the left for Udogie's runs, and Bellingham being a late arrival into the box if needed.
I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions to help, be it to do with the Leonardo problem or anything to do with how I set my team up along with instructions. In past years I was the type to use a downloaded tactic so this year i'm trying to use my own.
