Does anyone rotate their strikers or stick to a chosen front two? I usually play with the same two but when the goals start to dry up should I rotate? I've a couple of players who come of the bench and score but there ratings drop when they are constantly on the bench. Do I break my starting two? I have five strikers all with a rating over 10.5, help me

i have

Heskey
Gudjohnson
Larsson
Hartson
Tommason

all pretty good, so i have to rotate almost every game

mine arent that good but i have around 4 that i rotate, i have one young guy who i play every couple of games to get experience

Because they become tired after many matches.
Just wait an easy match and put your reserves strikers in this match or two. Thats enough to refresh your first team players.http://www.partizan.co.yu/fidetail.php?Jezik=en&ID_IzvIzv=201

hey PFC negro the link to your site doesnt work

I have
Trezeguet
Micolli
Zalayeta
Raul
as my strikers
I do try to rotate them ..... micolli has been on fire this season....and Raul hasn't been hitting the net that consistently

I play 2 strikers in front of a CF
Del piero or Olivera
Olivera has been scoring a lot....just moved him to my first team played 3 games...scored 8 goals.... :rockman:

nevermind your link works now PFC but i dont see how it relates to this thread...:S :S

I have the problem with CM/AM?DM positions I have Ballack, Seerdorf, Nedved and 2 very good players from my youth team. The youth players don't drop in moral when they don't play but i need them to get experience to improve their level the other 3 get really annoyed when they don't play but i can't sell them because i need them for big games such as champions league

I also have 5 strikers, all above Lev 11.
I use 3-4-3 formation, so i can rotate it. Youth player i subsitute when the game wanna end. The also get can experience!

well.... I changed my forwards a bit, now I have:
Trez
Zlatan
Micolli
Bojinov
Raul

and playing behind the strikers I use
Del Piero
Olivera



I play a 3-4-1-2

I don't see the point in a large squad, mine is 17 players with another 11 on the reserve team.

I am Cambridge United in the 2004 season and my strikers are Adebayor (lv.21.5) and Rooney (lv23.5). I have a couple in reserve too, although if you set training right the players are hardly ever in red fatigue.

What game are u playing.... 2004? and rooney is lvl 23.5?? wow... how did he levelled up so much in one season?

Cambrige United just a division 2 team... how u get those striker and leveled up in a season? Sure no cheat?

I am in the season 2013/2014 and this is my team and the years I bought them:

BTW Cambridge United is a division 3 team at the start of the game, I started playing as them in the first year. I attached a screenshot of Rooney's progressions through the seasons. If anyone wants screenshots of individual players let me know, but I am going on "holiday" (back to England) tomorrow so it'd have to be by tonight.

oh it was a typo ... not 2004 but 2014...

wow..and u signed rooney for free..... that's great man

Thanks, it is too easy on TCM2004 as the computer lets all his players go on frees! I just accidentally saved over the ******* game so I have no more screenshots! Adebayor had an amazing strike rate in Europe and in the league, over a goal a game. Get him!

Hopefully I will train up a few great players on my MyPa game!

I'm now running Chelsea, still in 1st season (only play on Saturdays). My strike squad is:

Crespo
Gudjohnsen
Mutu
Tuncay Sanli
Rodri

Rotation is pratically a necessity, though I'm currently forced to play lots of strikers as Lampard, Joe Cole and Makelele are all out for the rest of the bloomin' season :(

I rotate my strikers; I have my main pair and keep 2 others on the bench and let them play the last few mins. of a match mainly because when they are injured they can fit right in. Also I have found that by swap positions of my strikers right to left side this also helps them when they are off form.

I still see no point in rotation as the fatigue is never that high, and rotating reduces atmosphere and teamwork :confused:
