I think it depends on tactics and arrows - but yes in my opinion if you set the role for ST according to what is supposed to occur in the real game then the engine may leave the ST goalless. But this game is just an calculation so I think you can readjust the tactics, arrows and skills so that ST scores sufficiently.

I think that the game holds positive bias towards the AMs, especially fast shadow strikers with good finishing/shooting skills. This season I have not seen a quality shadow striker scout in any of my accounts. But the AMs potency may be ascribed also to the fact that most of us play down the flanks?!
