I use the same formation as you for my Liverpool team. Its only three seasons in as I started patch 3 only recently.
Reina
Ramos-Carragher-Agger-A.Cole
Hamsik-Mascherano
Walcott-Gerrard-Jovetic
Torres
Subs. De Gea, Aurier, Wilson, Shelvey, M.Rodriguez, James Rodriguez, Lukaku.
When I play Lukaku I set him as an Advanced Forward and play the ball to head. This is because he has decent dribbling and finishing skills, is powerful on the ball and so useful to run at players an finish well as well as winning the ball in the air. A tall player with useful all round stats will provide a strong challange in the air but still be able to act as a regular striker, not just a one trick pony.
Ive played with other player such as Zigic from Villareal. He doesnt offer much more than a strong head in the air. If a player does not have the technical skill required for a centre forward I would set him as either an Attacking Target man or as a Poacher. These will ensure that the player will stay central and not run the channels. Using a 4-2-3-1 system with two wingers will make sure plenty of balls will reach him aslong as you set him as you primary target man in the tactics section. Having a supporting AMC will also be useful as the striker will move into space to either recieve the ball or move a defender from the player and let him shoot. Also the AMC can provide balls for the wingers to cross.
Wow that was long, sorry!
