brenosantos Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I would have to say "Big" Denis Stracqualursi.Although saying that I have brought him back to English football in my Huddersfield save and he is a bit of a handful. He was very good in my Southampton, playing as Target Man> Attack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandy Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 When West Ham signed Benni McCarthy, Illan and Mido, they were the worst strikers I have ever had. Worst (performing) striker I have ever signed though is probably Emmanuel Adebayor when he was at City. Transfer listed for £12,000,000 I thought it was a bargain. I was wrong. Temperamental as hell, and didn't score a single competitive goal for me, after hitting like 12 in 5 games pre-season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanikain Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Probably back on fm 05 Stefan Moore for my Villa side playing him up front with his brother who had 32 in 38 during the season but Stefan decides 4 own goals all season to lose me the league by 3 goals to Newcastle deserved a new deal, still got 7.5 million for him at the end of the season tho.

BoxToBox Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 This Polish striker I picked up on a free to be back up in my promoted to the Championship Bradford City side. I was using fake players, so couldn't tell you who he actually is. Began the game at Widzew Lodz. 20 starts 17 sub ons, 5 goals, 1 assist. Upside, scored the fastest goal in club history, picking one off against Leeds in 26 seconds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iolodavanki Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I always fall for the temptation of signing Chicharito because I believe he can be one of the best poachers around, but for me he has always been pants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loaned him at Swansea, and he tore the league up for me in 14/15 as a Trequartista, surprisingly enough. Then got the Arsenal job, bought him there and won the league in 15/16. Leading scorer both years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott MUFC Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 certain players will work with certain tactics, so some will bang them in for one tactic, but be useless in another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneronaldo Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Jordan Rhodes, never for the life of me will I understand how is he a goal machine for the AI. I gave him some 3 seasons, in every role imaginable and he just made me question why I didn't just save myself the hassle and signed Lord Heskey instead. Vaclav Kadlec and M'baye Niang had me tearing my hair out in FM12 as well, Kadlec was simply horrendous in 1-on-1 situations while Niang insisted that every shot must hit the stratosphere of the planet. But those 2 never frustrated me like Rhodes though, Niang eventually learned how to smash it in the net instead of orbit and Kadlec was moved out wide where he often did his best impression of CR7.

Adnan13 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Recently bought Martial for Arsenal, could not score as a striker, but as a Winger on the left he would assist and score. As a main striker he would not do anything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fer Fuchs Ake Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I've only had him for just under a season but Odion Ighalo has been pretty unimpressive. I signed him,he played about three competitive matches, scoring one consolation goal, he injured himself for three months, then he returned to fitness only get injured immediately for another month. He then played two or three goalless games before going away for two weeks on international duty. That was about an in-game month and a half ago and he hasn't scored since. £8m for two long injuries and one goal with only about 12 games left in the season. It's a shame because his first touch is incredible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phnompenhandy Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Heh, guess I don't count but I'll chuck it in anyway. I'm managing a lower league side where my policy is never to buy/bring in any player, ever. So for the first season I'm managing grays until my first batch of youth recruits come through, when I'll give them all contracts. So we're basically talking about players with CA1 here. Oh boy the quality is bad - so, so bad. The strikers are really quite hilarious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleasedToMichu Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Easily Freddy Kanoute on FM 13 or 14. Picked him up as a freebie thinking he would give my team a good bit of experience and a few goals. Safe to say he was beyond useless. 0 goals, 0 assists, 0 anything after about 20 games. Dumped him end of season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the same with Adelaide United. Thankfully, Bruce Djite, (whether due to my tactic or not) was a goal machine. If only he had the same consistency in real life!

TacoCorp Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I tend to play mainly in the lower English leagues and I played F.C. United of Manchester in the beta and the full release of FM 16. In the beta, he was a maniac scoring more than a goal per game. In the full release, he was atrocious and constantly offside. I'm currently playing with Truro City and target man Matthew Wright was scoring several goals in each pre-season friendly (although mainly against weaker sides). He is yet to score in ten league matches though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoalieManPat121 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 My current starter. Highest wage at the club by about 20%. Brought him in as hes better than my current strikers and is professional with good determination so I used him to tutor the guy that will take his job next season. 3 goals in 26 appearances. My defensive midfielder scored 4 times in 18 appearances....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuryBlade Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I paid £100 million for a striker this year on my long term Sheff Utd save. Man City were dominating the Premier League, largely due to having the greatest regen striker I've ever seen. Scoring 60 a season for them, I was unable to tempt him away so I looked for someone similar. I found someone at Atletico Madrid and paid the buy out fee of £100 million. 23 years old, scoring a goal a game in Spain, he was perfect. 2 seasons later, he was unhappy, had a 1 in 3 record in a team scoring over 3 a game and demanded a transfer. No one else wanted him, nor would pay the £100 million to recoup my money. Ended up flogging him to PSG for £50 million. City still had their star striker and I was £100 million lighter and no closer to the title. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barto123 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I had a guy called Marcelo Cappelli in my stoke save in fm13. We were the best team in england going for champions league glory, and my scouts said this guy was the best player in the world (even though his stats didnt seem that good). So I shelled out 55 million (my highest ever transfer by double anything I've done before) and initially he did well. 22 league goals in his first season. Then he got injured. Spent a season out injured then came back to barely score a goal again. Couldnt even sell him if I tried. Ended up leaving on a free after another 3 years goalless in the league playing 10-15 games a season. Gave him so many chances all due to that initial scout report and amazing first season.
