Ok here's the deal... I've made a 4-4-2 formation, a home variant and an away variant.
Defensively this formation is brillant 8 clean sheets in the last 10 games. I cannot fault it at all defensively.
HOWEVER...Going forward My players cannot hit the target. I have scored 7 goals (4 of which were in a 4-0 win and the others were 1-0 wins) and i've had 5 0-0's! My team are creating the opportunities, normally getting around 10 shots a game 9 of them being off target!
What can i do to help my strikers score the goals? the problem is not the actual players i know that for certain, both of my strikers are proven scorers and are considered good enough for two leagues above according to my asst manager.
Have a look at who is taking the shots during the game. If they have bad long shot attributes keep it to rarely. Do you have a tall striker? If so set crossing for your wingers to aim at his head.
Get the faster striker to make forward runs often and the other to mixed so that he can link up with the midfield better.
Are you playing a slow tempo or fast? Faster tempo will give you more shots but they won't be the quality of a slower tempo.
cheers mate, i've followed yoru advice and i'll be doing the following:
- My tempo was 'quick' so I have now dropped it down to normal.
- Both my strikers are fairly pacey but the quickest one is set to run forward often and the other is set to run forward mixed.
OK here's a run down, since changing as advised, i have now scored in 8 out of 10 games, whilst keeping a water tight defence. Great, only lost 3 games in 19! great stuff considering the media predicted me to finish 21st in the league I think i'm doing rather well
Sounds a bit like what was happening to my Brighton team, i started the season with a 0-0, then lost 0-2, then had 3 0-0 draws, 2 1-1 draws, then another 3 0-0 draws. So i'd played 9, drew 8 lost 1. I was getting really miffed cos my strikers we all just blazing it over or wide.
Change my tactic a little, and since then i have lost every game. Even changed my tactic back to what it was but it didn't help.
I now changed my tactics again, keeping my water tight defence and changing my midfield and strikers to the style of barca domination. its worked a treat abit of normality
