New Striker Can't Hit A Barn Door.

My biggest problem has always been in front of goal. Strikers score once in a blue moon. Most of my goals come from ML and MR.

To try to rectify this, over the last 3 months I've bought 4 "proven" strikers.

You are fighting windmills.
This is not a football. Strikers in this game don't score, AMR and AML do. If you check your league's Top Players, I bet you will see that at least a dozen out of 15 positions are occupied with AML/AMRs.
That also means, if you keep records, don't compare ratings of different positions to each other. Average 7.5 for DC is not the same as average 7.5 for AML.
