What role should Falcao play?

I bought him for Arsenal in the first season and I am wondering what role should I play him to utilize him. By role I mean 'poacher', 'advanced forward' etc.:rolleyes:

Have a look on his preferred position, that normally works. He is a poacher if I remember rightly...

How do I look at his preferred position?

When you look at the player overview it will detail his position. Then, you will see 5 star ratings on his preffered role. The higher the stars, the more suited he will be

I would say that it's more important to choose a role that fits with your team's tactics than a role that he prefers. He's a good enough player to be more than capable in any of the forward roles.

I never play with teams where Falcão is on Football Manager, I like to start unemployed. But based on what I have seen on real world about Falcão seems to be a complete forward.

Definate ball playing centre back

Might want to check the GPTG out. There is a player thread on him which could help.

He can play a few roles effectively but his main assist is that he's a goal machine so Poacher or Advanced Forward. It depends on your tactic aswell though.

He was fantastic for me as an Advanced Forward alongside a DLF S.

I did exactly the same thing. But, as with all strikers in Football Manager, the second he turned 30 he magically transformed into an asthmatic turtle with a particularly bad back.
