    Question Shadow Striker useful?

    I have saved enough for my first scout from the scout list.

    I am looking at an AML aged 24 with shadow striker ability. Usually I'd prefer my wingers to be versatile (LM, AML or DML)

    I was wondering is it worth it? What's your experiences with shadow strikers?

    Probably one of the most useful out of all the midfield special abilities (the rest are crap)... As for usefulness, they are pretty useful... I've had shadow strikers score against me in the past so I'd go for it.

    I currently have an MC/AMC player with Shadow striker ability, I'll let you know how that goes.

    The player will score from long range strikes more often.. But less effective if the opponent has a defensive wall player, which of course makes sense.

    Cheers man. I'm tempted to get him now. I got a message saying new scouts on scouts list, there's only 1 new scout. Go home Nordeous, you're drunk!

    Natural shadow strikers are rare, especially on the scout list... Although if his quality is low for a scout, it won't be worth it as he's 24 years old already

    Quality is 51, I've bought 5 stars who catch up to that in a week lol. Think I'll give this one a miss. Wait for the right player.

    You'll never know if this SA will be usefull when you set tactics to (very)attacking.
    Even so, the one-on-one stopper ability for a GK is a powerfull one, but as in this case, you'll never know if it will be used by any GK.

    Shadow strikers are crap.

    I had a 9* AMC with shadow striker and played nearly every game of the last 2 seasons. Only scored 12 in the 1st season and 17 in the second season. With a 9* quality surely there should be 30+ goals a season?
