    My defence is great, their average all season is around 7.8.

    Im struggling with my 2 other forwards. One is older more Q and has a better S/A. And he has score bags of goals for me. He started 25 of of the 27 games hes played in netting a good amount of goals. He was meant to be a backup but i havnt had the heart to drop him since his form is fantastic, and has been all season. The problem is, my forward who i have had since season 1, has always had a fantastic goal scoring record, and he has started 2 games this season, and came off the bench 18 times. But has netted nearly as many goals as my starter. ( Today Jeremy scored once and got 2 assists, subbed him at 75 minutes. Keehan netted 3 times.

    I have tried playing them as a duo in friendlies thinking their strike partnership would be devastation. But when they play with a strike partner neither of them perform. I cant play both of them, but who would you start and why?
    I think I would check the stats ie if league game who scored most league goals / if cup/CL who scores most in those however after saying that I sometimes just go with my favorite , and keep training the finishing etc on all of them when I could

    This is what I'd do, that way, hopefully, you'd get 2 excellent STs playing well. If this doesn't work then go with Saransh's suggestion in subbing him on every game. That way, they'll have similar condition if you have 2 or more games a day.

    So would there be no need to convert him into a AMR?

    How about playing an MC in any wide diamond corner? I still dont know what to do with this guy, I make a n00b mistake in spending 15T on him from U21 and so far he only plugs in when needed and friendlies.
    Selling him would mean EVEN more waste to the tokens spent

    No... His morale might decrease more than normal, but it is total waste to spend 59 skill points on training new positions, never do that?? They r worth 3 Q and can make the player last another season.

    And ya, ucan play MCs as ML and MR. I do that as it is not easy to find good wingers on my server, and if they appear on the TM, there is a fight over them. My MCs have performed well as ML and MR so far. Have made them play out of position only once or twice otherwise I usually play Narrow diamond with everyone on position.
