hi first off, i'll explain my teams setup..
I play a 41212,with attacking fullbacks..The front 3 is usually aguero advanced playmaker(attack)..rightside is tevez as a deep lying forward(support.)And dzeko on the left as an advanced forward(attack.)
The thing is dzeko scoring and assists is way down.(Avg 1 goal in3/4,, Avg assist 1 in 6/7!!!!)But if i shove balotelli there his goal/assist ratio is alot better(goal avg 1 in 1, assist avg 1 in 2 atleast sometimes more.)
Am i missing something with dzeko? And if someone has dzeko and he scores/assists alot can you tell me what role you play him as..
On a note i will never use a targetman(which i know he's good at.)As i tend to play short fluid passing game.

I like playing Dzeko in the middle, Tevez and Aguero are more capable on playing on the sides, I always play Dzeko as a deep lying attack, in my games Dzeko never does well as an advanced forward. The roles for Tevez and Aguero works... Just try playing Dzeko in the middle.

i think you misunderstood,aguero plays behind the front two..dzeko and tevez play up front central,just dzeko leftside,tevez rightside..he works well for you as a deep lying attacker?Just does not seem to be his role atall to me,seems more like he needs to be up front and not dropping into the hole(which i dont think would work with my squad as tevez and aguero interchange in the hole for me.)

why dont u try with Tevez to play like Aguero? then Dzeko will play alone in front and try to use him as complete forward(if that does not work try othere solution's like deep playing... ) so ur formation will be 4-1-2-2-1... maybe he will score more, i didnt play with Man.City or Dzeko but u could give a try... also tell Dzeko to start placing his shot's into the corner of net, that is what i always do with my strikers and after they adopt it, it seems they score lot easier... hope that helps

dzeko does better as lone striker, he can be a beast as advanced forward and complete forward. but he needs to get fed like any other carnivour in the nature :P you may want to buy hamsik to feed him :)
