how do i get the hunt to start scoring at least a couple goals??? please help me...

BTW, gilardino has some nice stats, but is one of the worse strikers ive ever had

I had the same problem with him at arsenal. I found that it took him a while to settle in, and even when he did, he wasn't all that prolific. Who are you playing along side him? And what sort of tactics are you playing?

i play pato, gilardino or jimmy briand....in a 442 diamond formation, with zapater, pirlo, seedorf and kaka in the midfield

Your midfield as easily creative enough, so I'm not really sure. The problem with Huntelaar is that he's more of a general striker, and is not especially good in the air, or particularly fast, so there's not a lot you can do with him, unless you use your other striker to create chances for him. All I can suggest is maybe giving him a bit of stick about his recent performances, and see how he goes. To be honest though he's soon to be surplus to requirements with briand and pato in your squad anyway.

Set him on:
FR - often
RWB - rarely
LS - mixed/rarely
TB - rarely
CB - rarely

You have to make use of his off the ball movement which is really good. The best way to utilise him is to have good wingers and have them run down the flanks and cross the ball into him. He'll get you loads of goals that way.

Obivously your system is nowhere close to that so I'd suggest you have him on the above settings, with hold up ball ticked. Use him as a TM with supply mixed (not sure about this, you can try to head as well) and maybe let him knock the ball down to Kaka. His decisions are also very good so he should be able to make the right ones on whether he should shoot or feed someone else who's in a better position.

I know the first one works. I started as Valencia for one season and had him and Zigic play together for a while (Villa got injured for like 4-5 months or so). Silva/Vicente and Jaoquin kept crossing the ball into them and they kept banging in the headers the two of the them.
