Hi there all

im hoping that you can offer me some advice.

I love this game but at the same time i'm really starting to hate it.

I've taken the helm at leeds and am in my 4th season.

i play a 4-1-2-1-2 formation and this is my team

Bruno
Cahais Breno Filipenko R.Austin
JM Torres
Cardenas Torje
Calvalho
A.Gyan Saivet

Also other strikers Bendtner(loan), Doudin, Andrade, Nazarith, Lindado

My problem is i'm literally getting 20-25 shots a game and i'm lucky if i score a goal, they get like 3/4 shots and score, their keeper always gets MOM. Its driving me round the twist, how can i improve my strikers finishing prowess all my strikers can't hit a barn door and they're all good strikers!!

it happens to me as well at times after 1 great season.

thing is though at times you might want to say the 'right' things to your players. for some players(usually strikers) it helps to say 'there is no pressure'.

i have rossi upfront in my aston villa game, he is slightly inconsistent but i have realised that as soon as he doesnt score then i just tell him that he doesnt have any pressure on him, and he usually starts scoring again.

BUT

what i think you have to do is, change your strikers personal instructions. you might want to try new things.

not just that you might want to change your attacking style of play.

for an example: if i play with 1 striker and 2 really attacking wingers, then i will have 1 big striker upfront and have my wingers come into the penalty area etc. but then i see it isnt working anymore, now i might change formation to 4-4-2, or 4-4-2 diamond, i might put 2 different strikers up front and make em swithc positions, and if they are good at passing then through balls often etc. and that might help.


now that was an example of how you can change things at times if something isnt working for you. so what you do is not just keep playing, BUT TRY NEW THINGS. EXPERIMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
