Shadow striker is my new fav

I am getting a lot out of a shadow striker, it's become my fav .
some of the goals are nice to watch as well, what are your fav roles?

10 - 15 and as many assists or more.

For my teams AMs never do anything or at least I never figured out how to make them do anything except be there and fill a slot. I usually switch them for another striker or midfielder who do useful things.

I tend to retrain AMs to play somewhere else, even wingback/fullback is ok.

MC on Attack duty is a beast in this game, much more useful than AM for my team. 10-15 goals easy.

Yeah I like it as well, I think they are pretty similar but SS makes runs from the shoulder as well as late, it's just a more attacking version I guess.

Target man & shadow striker = goals

Yep, perfect combination. I found pressing forward to work pretty well also.

According to my long term saves, aggression and work rate seem to make a marked difference for strikers in achieving high scoring, involved seasons. Pacey or strong attackers with high aggression and lower finishing do better than the ones that are stacked more in finishing and the likes.

I think that is why there's success with those roles, and shadow strikers tend to have high workrate and mentals too.

Yeah I can see that, but I do like a SS to have pace, they could be a midget and I wouldn't blink an eye though lol.

Pace does help a lot as well, especially in weaker leagues. My theory is that aggression makes them want it more. So the tall lads go in for a header more often, and the fast boys chase the doubtful through balls instead of giving up.

I've always thought that was the bravery stat and aggression was how enthusiastic or strong they were in the action. That's always been my interpretation of it, but I could be very wrong.

Just wondering what Tactic do you played?

Do you used Mid block and stop crossing to get more Clean sheets?
