Hi,

I'm having a real difficulty getting my strikers to score. I'm playing a 4-1-4-1 tactic (But have also tried extended periods with a 4-4-2 and the Fiora2 tactic off the forums) and we dominate play, create good build up and have very few problems getting the ball in and around the oppositions box. However, that's where it stops. Once the ball gets to my striker(s) they just stand still, or play the ball backwards, or dally about until they are picked off by a defender. Infact, they seem to do anything except have a shot!!

Also, my strikers won't attack the ball. Unless it's played direct to them they don't move. If someone else has a shot and it rebounds they won't attack it etc

My lone striker is currently setup as follows

Mentality: 16
Creative Freedom: 13
Passing Style: 7
FWR: Mixed
RWB: Mixed
Longshots: Rarely
Through Balls: Rarely
Cross Ball: Rarely

Any ideas of how I can turn this around would be greatly appreciated as I've pretty much sussed the rest of my formation, this is the last stumbling block.

Also, any one else whose had/is having this problem and anything they've tried would be appreciated too.

Thanks
