This, I understand, isn't a fix but it helped me. Throughout all FM's, I've had non-existent strikers and, in FM13, my top scorer for 2 seasons in a row was Kurt Zouma (a respectable average of 20 goals). I so know that feels.
First of all, TL;DR: use a false 9, buy Ljajic and Berardi.
My play is based on a possession heavy 4231 and most of my goals come from my 3 attacking midfielders. That was chosen because of my terrible luck with strikers. As Arsenal, I tried Podolski, Giroud and Walcott at every conceivable position to try and get me goals but when that failed I got rid of them and thought about using a false 9 to try and open up space for my attacking mids to score. However, in 6 games, my two strikers have scored more goals then those 3 scored my entire first season. Put together. Depressing. I'm not as tactically gifted as most people on this site so I can't guide you through the in's and out's of why or why not certain things work but using a false 9 is worth a try at least.
