Default How to best utilise the pace of Theo Walcott?

I picked up Walcott for 5million pounds for my Leeds United team which I thought was a good business. However he has been struggling to score goals and has only got 2 in 15 Premiership appearances so far (I played him as a striker alongside Aliadeire, Max Forward Runs and Run With Ball). How would you utilise such a pacy striker? Would you accompany him with a good target man? And what instructions would you give Theo Walcott?

I turned him into a right winger and he ended up with the most assists out of my whole team that season.

you may want to give than a thought

i play him on the right wing. max forward runs and running with the ball. his finishing stats aren't that great so i avoid playin him up front. in 40 games he got me 8 goals and 15 assists. average rating 7.12. im fairly happy with that.

Play him as a striker, use as a target-man but select to play ball to his feet so he can run into the ball. Would switch off the run with ball option

Play to feet wouldn't let him run into the ball. Infact, what you suggested would have him receive the ball while stationary, then not run with it. No use of pace...

Perhaps play ball to run on to might work?
