Look mate, whether your cfs will score goals depends on how the whole tactics are set up. You dont say who are your attackers but in order to ascertain that its indeed their fault please check the match analysis to see whether you create a lot of cccs (clear cut chances). If yes then its the attackers' and their set up who are to blame and if not its the tactics.

As far as the attacking set up is concerned it depends what qualities your attackers have - if you have a tall(ish) brute plus a pacy one the best way to set them up is make the latter poacher and the former deep lying attacker/target man. If you have a decent assistant (and you really must) have him pick the team for you and then check who he picks for dla/tm and who he picks as poacher. Usually he gets it right.

But I have a feeling its the overall tactics/set up that is to blame.
