Default struggling to score

Had to format my PC so am creating a new tactic from scratch.

Starteda 'testing' game with Milan and defensively it's pretty sound but I'm struggling to score goals.

I'm having about 10-15 shots per game, but only about 3-4 are on target.

Any advice as to how to score more? I'm playing a 442 diamond (with wingers) and no arrows.

Thanks in advance.

I'm having exactly the same problem. I'm Newcastle in the 3rd season. Currently have Eddie Johnson and Jo as my strike partnership and I've made sure I only set my players with a high long range shot rating to shoot "often". Just played Reading, who had a man sent off after 20 minutes.....I then proceeded to pepper their goal with 27 shots and only managed 8 on target and the score ended 0-0. Infuriating as hell!! How can I prevent this from happening???

1st season 4 4 2 is fine will do ok with it.
2nd season its not good enough. I wasnt scoring enough goals so decided to play 3 up front. Instead of having 2 strikers just playing now have 3 around the box to bang them in.

Also the strikers you have mentioned are average at best. Play Jo or eddie johns, hugain or doyle and next to them play a total goalscorer like zarate or bojan who will bang them in all day.

Never thought I would be replying.

Anyway....I read somewhere that you really need more "quality" shots. One of the ways to do this is to use the attacking/defending slider. If you push the slider down more toward defender, you will get less shots overall, but it will increase the number of shots on target, therefore increasing the chances of goals scored.

Another thing I play with also is the tempo of the game. I try to play a slow game as well to try to keep the ball and have the players work the ball around to find a good shot.

Also, browse through these forums. i have picked up many a great tips.

what tempo are you using? quick tempo could be the cause, if not then try reducing the strikers creative freedom.
