Burnsey85 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Know this is hard for most to remember, as I'm not even sure this is my longest FM drought but it must be up there... Boselli started 11 games, just got his first goal in the 58th minute of the 11th game. It's not very often I sub strikers so I make that around 16 hours of competitive football without a goal. Given that he's only played as the furthest player forward in my QPR save I think that's pretty poor! My fans hate him too, only been shotting him in more recently because I actually felt sorry for him. What's the longest drought you can remember one of your strikers going through?

Some Guy! Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I had a striker with 1 goal in 33 hours of football. A 16 hour drought, and a drought that lasted until I shipped him off. This was of course after a run which included 11 goals in 17 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleaner475 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I think my worst striker was around 19-20 hours on FM12 - I think I was trying to convert him to a winger at the time so it's not a clear cut one. Most of the time my bad ones are around 10 hours, seems that's the magic number of hours to reach for some of my players to start scoring again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artin Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Maybe 30 minutes? Then again I have Falcao, Rooney, and Van Persie... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnsey85 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 I had a striker with 1 goal in 33 hours of football. A 16 hour drought, and a drought that lasted until I shipped him off. This was of course after a run which included 11 goals in 17 games. Suppose looking at it positively, he showed he was capable before the drought... Boselli is just a donkey. Next game he got a whopping 6.4 before getting injured. Hope I can get rid but doubt it, probably end up eating 30k a week in the u21s for 2 years. My scouts and backroom staff still proper rate him though so someone might take a punt. 13 hours used to be the magic number on FM13, easily the most regular occurrence on every save I had on it. On my first save on FM15 I was United. Biggest mistake I made was not signing Falcao after the first season. Rooney/RVP F9 with Falcao as a poacher was deadly. Once he left Rooney had a shocker second season and RVP was stuck to the treatment table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maw74 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Maybe 30 minutes? Then again I have Falcao, Rooney, and Van Persie... Amazing that he is staying fit long enough to score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjericho Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 24 matches in FM14. Tbf he was a AMC playing as a striker but still that was way too long without scoring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
whilewolf2 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Kwesi Appiah my top scorer four season in row just ended his 23 match goal drought. Hopefully his back to normal and I will pull away from the relegation battle im in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

9sublime Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 39 games, but the player (Adam Holloway, Wycombe Wanderers) is one of those CBs who can double up as a striker. I was mainly playing him at CB in 90% of the games, but I had the media banging on about how bad his goal drought was! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
