Has anyone else had the problem where their team is creating stacks of chances but just cannot score? I've had this occur a couple of times, both with good teams (Arsenal, Real Madrid) and playing different formations (Arsenal 4-2-3-1 with 3 AMs and 1 FC, Real 4-4-2).
The kind of stats I'd get would be that my team create 25 chances, get maybe 12 on target, and score 0 or 1 goals... then just to rub it in, the opposition would get maybe 3 shots on target, score one or two and win!
I'm looking for tips on how to cure this. I've had a few ideas but nothing's really worked. I've tried:
- intensifying my forwards' shooting training
- stopping people taking so many long shots (theory being I'm making lots of chances but they're from 25 yards out and easy to save)
- rotating out-of-form strikers out of the lineup
Any ideas? | | |  |  | | The Following User Says Thank You to dcarterclout For This Useful Post: | | | 16-06-08, 03:07 PM | #2 (permalink) | | Backup To The First Team Join Date: May 2008 Location: Halifax, NS Posts: 101 Thanks: 26 Thanked 13 Times in 13 Posts Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 |
I've had this problem too at times, it would be good to hear what others have to say bout it.
Rotating never seems to work for me either. . . bah. |

i have had the problem a few times in the past, i fixed it by stopping my players taking long shots and keeping faith with the same frontline players pretty much every game. |

ive never seem to have this problem upto yet
ive found quite effective is to just use 1 striker with very good finishing
as alot of times i end up going into a 4-3-2-1 formation that is similar to chelsea with 3 midfielders,2 wingers and then a lone striker and works wonders
not many people consider this but i have seen the creative freedom affect it sometimes as u have it too high for a striker and he will be out of position alot or not in the place where he could get a easy goal from due to him roaming the pitch so lowering it so he just sticks to the basics could also work |
 thanks to Josh for makin this awesome sig! | | | | | 17-06-08, 01:36 PM | #8 (permalink) | | Decent Youngster Join Date: Apr 2008 Posts: 16 Thanks: 0 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 |

I'm refining my formation all the time, maybe if I make my striker just sit in front of the goal he'll bang it in when he gets the ball!!! | | | | | | |
