As Tactician said it was changed a year ago or something. Striker usually were the most important players. For the last 12 seasons or so all my strikers have been outscored by AML or AMR even when the striker is something of 7,5 star with FK SA. My AMR is right now 1,5 star less then my striker.

My striker: 32 goals and 7 assists in 40 matches
AMR: 28 goals and 11 assists in 38 matches
AML: 30 goals and 26 assists in 36 matches
AMC: 22 goals and 3 asissts but he will be taking the free kicks from now on.

In my first team the differences are bigger.
Striker: 16 goals and 9 assists (free kick and penalty taker) in 30 games
AMR: 31 goals and 2 assists in 34 games
AML: 15 goals and 17 assists in 34 games
