Is he a Striker?

Last season in the first day I bought a very promising striker and as my formation uses only one ST I hoped he would score a lot of goals.. But it prooved he isn't much of a striker as he assists more than he scores lol. An indication: This season, in a total of 8 matches until now he scored 2 goals and assisted 7 ! Last season about the same, although I don't remember his statistics he was my best player in assists but he didn't score too many goals... So is he a striker? :confused: Do you think he is doing a good job or should I replace him? He is still young and a pretty good trainer so it is a tough decision...

Keep him because even he doesn't score he creates for others.

I don't think you should keep him for assists, you'd get a lot more goals if you had him going for goal. A midfielder or whoever he assists isn't better than him at shooting and the striker isn't better at assisting. If you're getting that many goals already then wow you would have a much better team if you altered it so the midfielder is passing and striker is shooting :)

I had the same problem with a scout I got last season so I sold him this season, I also noticed that in the comments bar he would miss a lot of chances.

Looks like you've signed David Nugent.

He scored last night, didn't he play for England once?

Hahahahahahaahaaaaaa!

I've got 2 strikers, 1 5 star, 1 4 star. One's a poacher, the other a target man. It's just how the GE's players are. I think it's better to have the target man as 5 attackers are better than one.

The funny thing is I already put a red arrow on him (I always do). Today I almost got knocked out of the cup because of him!! He was going behind the defence, one-on-one with the goalkeeper and he passed to my defenders!! What's wrong with him lol !

no .. arrow is mentality not moving position ... meaning he will stick to attacking position more rather than going back chasing the ball when team is losing the ball.. if he chase the ball .. he will be in more far areas thus make more sense why he have more assists than goals
without that he will go up and down and end up like rooney providing more than scoring

I believe he was joking. For his sake, I hope he was.

My only ST has 5A in 6 games but only 2G. My AML has 5G and no assist. I think it works out since I'm Top 1/2 in my league and that ST has been MoM 3 times.

P.S. I think most of his assists are from corners since he's my specialist.

Exactly. I have 5-star ST with Corner SA. Last season he scored about ~23 but had 30 assits. he contributed almost 3/4 of the team's goals :)

impressive

The ridiculous thing is that he just played well if he is the only striker. If i give him one more partner, he is nearly playing in silence, no goal no assist for both strikers :). Therefore i can only play with the formation that contains 1 ST so far.
i have just seen his statistics for this season. He continues his good work with 15G and 15Asst after 12games :)

One striker setups usually counts on goals from advanced Wingers or midfielders to have any effect. the 4-5-1 V ie, sees the AMS actually scoring a lot more than the striker since the striker is often used as assisting pole for the AM's overlaps.

A real example would be Bayern Munchen, where Robben and Ribery has high scoring rates compared to the strikers.

I'm playing 4-4-1-1 so my ST is left alone, the most forward player that I have. I don't think he turns back to pass :p

sometimes ST goal scoring rate is affected by the team format. like my team i use AML and AMR its always they score more than the striker

It is amazing at times the difference between strikers. I mostly use 2, and always have one on the bench for going all out attack with 3 - one of them was fine when I bought him first. But he's not scored in a while, but he does assist the other 2. He's the one on the bench mostly, my super sub if you like. I never expect him to score [the odd goal he does net] but I'm confident he'll set one of the others up for a late goal, fine by me!
