Please look at my ST and tell me why is he not scoring?

Attachment 132648

This ST killed my season. At the middle of my season when everyone was getting stronger, I had one weak point, my 30 Years old 83% overall ST. I had an Academy Graduate ST in my Reserve team, then I trained him upto 90% and replace my Old striker. Then I started to lose games, I never boasted very good defensive records, but in maximum games I outscored opposition. This new 18 Years old ST played 17 games ane scored just four and provided 3 assists.
I Knocked out at both semifinals and bottled 7 point lead, now I need to score 6 goals to win the League by goal difference.
Tell me looking at his skills, why is he not scoring

May be he hasn't been programmed to score lots of goals.

Are you playing single striker ? Anyways use Attacking Mid Fielders instead of strikers.

I guess I'll start using AMC instead of him. Maybe he can be my Super-sub

Can you add here the stats? and too of your team, check the squad screen and select stats in the options to check out how are the other players doing?

That is unfortunate, ST’s even though they are strikers, they do not score most of your goals, they are involved in attack build ups, occasionally getting assists and a couple goals, and like Siddharth Singh said, the ST may not have been programmed to score goals, AMC’s provide assists quite a bit and they score a couple goals, the AMR/AML’s in your squad typically score and assist the most in your squad but the AMC helps them, I know a couple of players that use formations with out center forwards (ST) Milpol and Llmaestroll https://forum.topeleven.com/team-sho...tic-Βook.html, try read this thread on striker less formation as I think it may help, it also has a couple links to a YouTube channel or an interview that moderator did with another user who is now a moderator and you can find some things there.

Just a suggestion.

Free stuff is never good and good stuff is never free. From observations, the ‘free’ players by Nordeus are typically programmed to be non-performers, and so never ever use them if a performance is needed. ie. Only if you don’t expect any performance then play those free player as stop-gaps if needed.

Youthis which cost Ts to hire managers for quality increase would be fine though.

My GK who is my first Youth Academy player is pretty solid and a fast trainer too.

Don’t jinx it for yourself :rolleyes:.

this game is mystery. Aml/amr just doing all - scores, assists and for example mc's who should be the main assisters do nothing offensively (in whole season both mc combined have 2 assists while both wingers - combined 38.
But anyway i have a striker who out shined my both wingers for 3 seasons and was main goal scorer. But looking at your striker he has nothing special.

this is actually false- look at REAL MADRID, how many assists did modric and cr7 had back in 2018?
because attackers are in front of the opposition s goal, midfielders make the transition between defense and attack.
it s simple logic

With two of my strikers, who have been in the team for several seasons now, I noticed that they perform iteratively: that is, last season, one of them was my highest scorer but this season he scored very few. The other one was scoring well in the previous season before the last, and he was better this season too.

So, I suggest you don’t give up on that youngster just now, try to see if he performs better next season.

What I have noticed in this game is that single striker generally don't perform well. You need 2 strikers to unlock full potential of your strikers.

St not scoring depends on lot of things.

1st we need more infos , waht kind ( and level, difficulty ) of competition your are playing ( high % or low % ? ) cause in my eyes to be honest ( maybe cause i got used to player with 200+ stats ) is a very very weak ST and would hardly score against defences with 2 dc ( or 1dc but a good one ).

2nd how you are playing ? do you put him in condition to give his best ? cause sometimes is the manager way of playing not compatible with player the problem and not the player

About this thing '' wingers scores more than St s '' , usually is because wingers are always involved in 1v1 duels , what ever formation you you meet , they will be always 1v1 ( winger vs full back situation ) and of course if the winger is very good and not playing always against good fullback will score very often. STs instead can be against 2DC mostly ( or even 3 ) , that means always double marking so unless is a Great player , 2 average DCs can easily stop him togheter. So if you want to play 1ST formation he needs to be a great one , so strong that even 2 DCs can't stop him.

I personally don't use STs ( for years ) but i played with them in the past and i used sistems with 2st or a st + support ( amc ) to match oppo defence numbers , i advice you to do the same , if they are not great give them support with amc or a partner .

Because he is young and still developing..
He should score this season if you hard train him and bring him to above 120%.

This player is underdeveloped physically. 75% fitness is poor and he should be sold or trained up or used as a late attacking sub. I dont trust players from non football nationalities either.
