Hi,

I am currently man city in my game, so i started off with some pretty decent attacking options, however the likes of aguero, dzeko negredo and jovetic or anyone i stuck in strike rarely scored it was mainly yaya toure or a defender. I wondered why this was and attempted to change my formations, to 4222 4231 4132 etc, i changed my strikers roles, and instructions and still no luck, so i put it down to 2 things.... for some reason "shoot less often" means literally nothing as jack rodwell, fernandinho and other just shoot constantly and waste great opportunities to give it to my strikers, also maybe aguero was just out of form and negredo and dzeko were just crap.... so i sold dzeko and bought lewandowski, however i am now 7 games in with him, he has neither a goal or assist, and he doesn't even look like scoring he misses constantly, and i either sub him off or he finishes the game on a 5.5-6.0 its just tragic. I cant seem to win convincingly without a striker that can score goals, i thought between them aguero and lewandowski would get goals, i was sadly mistaken. Also ive trained them to place shots, improve finishing and composure etc and still no luck. I wondered if anyone had any tips for me or perhaps anyone is currently/ was previously in a similar situation to me where there straikers finish games on a low rating and fail to score. I have also played previous fm games where ive had no problems with strikers scoring goals so, is it this game, is it me, is it my tactics (which are similar to previous games) or something else i dont know but please of you have any tips, help or advice for me it would be much appreciated...

cheers,
