why cant my strikers score!!!!

i have 2 x 5 star strikers, every match i have 65+ possession (min), create many chances, but my strikers which are much better that the opponent strikers, but they just cant score? im gettin quite irate at this , as i dominate matches but yet only get a draw, or maybe just about win. and lose the occasional match. i dont mind if its a one off thing but near enough every game its the samwe. it can tbe formation as i have many more chances that opponent every game and dominate from start to finish, yet the opponent 2-3 star $hitty players and gk save everything.

any ideas, or it is just a bug?

p.s i am level one manager and have recently started playin, im coming to end of season, and my strikers are letting me down in crucial games. strikers are always on suprb morale and full fitness.
any guidance will be much appreciated,

You are only looking for the stars.
Have you noticed the price of the players in the market?

Some 3 stars can cost more that the 5 stars, like real life, the players that cost more, play better and also train better.

Probably your 5 stars strikers, are low cost, so they simple do not score.

Other thing that sometimes happen is If you have 1 very good player or 2 (5*) and the rest of the Team are only 3*, the good one simple play bad, and have always bad notes.

Prices are only indicative of the player's growth potential. They absolutely got nothing to do with the player performing good or bad. For those cases, know that 18 yo players might not score so many on their first season. It's alwais good to complement them with older players in their first season (23+). If they don't score, let in your reserve. I had my first striker drop to 3* since when i started playing but kept him playing since he scored and average of 35 goals per season.

EDIT: as for low cost players, if you meant youngsters most of them sometimes comes from very higher level teams dropping out their youth and appearing as 5* to lower teams.

Every players in your team have five stars? Or only strikers have?.
Your team has a lot of attack points?. Perhaps you are using very much defensive players, who defend well but your offensive side is weaker. Perhaps if you would choose player more offensive...

my strikers score goal rarely.....but my wingers score most of the goals as my attack come from both flanks....even top scorer of the league for two season.....

opss....did i compaint here....sorry wrong place...thought to share something here....my bad....forgive me....wakakakakak

Out of the 2 strikers I have, one( the better one) named Kurshovski scores mainly in free kicks and penalties as he is my first option to take these. His scoring percentage is 100 in penalties and about 80 in free kicks. But he rarely scores otherwise. The other one, slightly lower quality, named Erdogan has been my highest scorer so far having scored 26 in 32 matches. None of these have been penalties or free kicks. Yup, Kurshovski has more assists than Erdogan so both make a good team. My comparatively new player, my 4 star AMC scores the others and his scoring average is the highest. Altogether, I score many and currently have a WWWDW form. " matches ago, I thrashed a team 9-0. Kurshovski with a hatrick, Erdogan scored 4 and my AMC Domingos scored a brace.

I have two strikers and a midfield packed full of talent. One of my strikers has 33 goals and 24 assits, and my highest midfielder has 13 goals and 22 assits. No other player in my entire team has more than 5 assits. One of my Attacking midfielders has 17 goals 0 assits. He seems to score anything he hits from range. My other AM, has better stats, everything would seem better, but has 1 goals and 1 assits in 33 games.


I purely think some strikers may be brilliant in stats, but just cant handle it. Some players just dont work, so my advice is sell them on, and replace them.

That is a good point you raised. i'm loosing drastically this season to teams having star rating lower than me. I've tried many formations which worked as a charm for me in past. My players are getting injured more often and for longer periods. Since last two seasons i couldn't score large number of goals in a match which i did frequently in past.

Stars don't tell you the condition of the players.

There are hidden variables in all players that decides performance, thus players have slump periods you'd better bench them during that, no matter the quality, a player getting low rating will undermine the team as a whole.

A particular severe slump can last up to 2 whole seasons, although most are light and it only last for a few days or a week.

ST failing to score may not be directly caused by their own form, but the midfield failing may exhaust them in the defense causing offensive performance to plummet.
If your midfielders are doing well while ST/AM not, bench those.

They might be 5* but take a look at the attacking stats. I have players who are 4* but in their position are very strong, so for an attacker train for attacking only and remove physical and defensive training. Also rotate strikers- if they don't score for a few games, bench them to see if helps then reintroduce if sub striker doesn't work. Next up, don't forget to train your players between games if schedule allows

No it's irony.

Some strikers are simply not good at scoring even if they have good ratings. They may contribute in other ways.

If I feel uncomfortable about my low scoring strikers, my solution is replacing. But if my team perform well, scoring burdens should have been taken by other players. Then replacement may not be necessary.

High quality players are not necessarily well performing players. But they have higher chances to sustain good performance even after the team promote.

For short term team success, the immediate task is searching for well performing and consistent players, not high quality players. This game is not simply comparing team average qualities.


Edit:
In some cases, players need time to settle or need adequate formation to perform. You may need to be patient and test them.

For example, my most important striker in my now L20 team have played 48 matches and scored 25 goals in first 2 seasons. However, as I remember, in the first season, he just playerd 9 or 10 matches and scored 1 goal. He is now 26 years old. He is obviously the big brother within this team as the team have no other player who is older than 23 years old in last 5 or 6 seasons except this striker.

Same case here. My highest scoring striker (4* at your level... I'm level 3) has scored only 5 goals in 12 matches, but everyone in my squad has scored, barring the goalkeeper. So maybe the strikers won't score, but if you put up arrows on the wingers and wingbacks they will atleast have an assist. I pretty much always attack down both flanks, the strategy changes if you play through the middle.
