Need advice on formation and tactics please

[pcmacdaniel]

Thanks for the advise I'll try a few of the things you mentioned. Any ideas on how to bring life back into my strikers? It's breaking my heart cause they were always top scores in the league and now some of my defender's out score them.

What's there form?

If form is good, goals will come!

If not, the following is what i'd do;

1. Try switching there position. Ex. Try your left striker in either the middle or right slot.

2. Play them in a different formation. Some players play better in a 4-4-2 classic than 4-5-1 V-style and vice versa. There is also the little thing of counter-formations too.

3. If their form remains poor; get rid of them. Some player will perform poorly regardless of there quality (# of stars) and there is little that can be done to fix it.

EDIT: What formations have the opponents that have given you trouble been using? If that formation counters yours, that could explain why the goals have stopped also.

Both of them get 7 or 8 form in most matches I don't think I've seen either get lower than 7 even once, tried a friendly with style as normal and my strikers were a lot more involved but didn't convert any goals in the match, both got a 7 rating, gonna give them both a run as a solo striker and see if it suits them better, thanks for all your advice

There formations vary a lot but the common factor seems to be a weak midfield usually only 2 and 5 defender's, not all had 5 defender's but the ones who didn't had a Def midfielder or two in aswell
