@JOHN_D_EFCWith 56 jumping I'd play the ball to his feet and get him to shield the ball and bring other players in to play.

I'd probably do the same. Bit repetetive, but I'd maybe use him as a CF in the false 9 more than a traditional targetman. He's got solid dribbling stats, but he's huge, so he should have no trouble winning headers.

Yeah that's what I was thinking or having a runner behind like a CAM or CF, do you think Engine or Hunter are best? 

Tried lots of formations and tactics, and the 4321 still is the best targetman formation for me.

Two TMs in the CF position,  one ST that can play as F9. CMs with good passing and FB that are fast and good to crosses. 

All tactics balanced. Middle CM stay back cover center. Activate fullbacks join attack from D pad.

I know isn't a very expressive number,  but my Giroud has 30 goals in 35 games. I will stick my team around him now.

Quite torn with how I want to play this year, with the best possible team, just Brazil/Argentina squad

But then I stumbled across potm guirassy and potm boniface and thought "hey this could be fun".  So might build a squad with them with the 4321 and have the fullbacks bomb down the wing and cross it, thoughts about those two?

They look ok, but Boniface doesn't have the Power Header playstyle.  It can work, but you should look for someone like Joselu, he has power header plus. It makes difference against good opponents

Here is my team (griezmann is untrade) sorloth is great for me. Next tm I will try is Crouch. I play div 5 atm.

my GOAT. all goals rivals and WL

and he'll be 90 rated in a few weeks too 🙂

What for instructions and tactics do you run?

Can is solid but maybe I will try Hummels if.

Hemp and kelly are the key players with the whipped pass+ I hope some other players get this playstyle too.

I'm evolving my very own Luca Toni. Lorenzo Lucca is nuts.

Anybody having problem to get the strikers in the box for crosses? Playing 4321 and my cfs most.of the time stay on the edge....

Yes I know this problem and nothing helps in my opinion. I try „stay centre“, only one striker, …

but he comes always short. Only on counters he did the right run.

my right midfielder is rather in position for heading.

Such bs... Doesnt matter if I run 2-3 tms, a lot of the times a winger or even a fullback is finishing the crosses..

When Im running the 4321 with the striker as a f9 to build up, my cfs just stands outside 18yrd box and occasionally my striker ends up in the box.

Now Im gonna try the 4141 with the instructions for striker gib,stay central.

Maybe the formation to go for is the 4222, strikers one f9 and one tm and the cams are the actual tanks thats gonna get in the box. So basically youre playing 4 target men. Overlapping fullbacks thats puts in the crosses. 

That might be my next play after trying the 4141...

Which formation?

This is what Im going to give a try. Been playing the 4222 for a while with target men at the cam spots. Quite successfully so far Thought I would share my tactics. Been playing Giroud and Joselu as Cams as well, just because 85% of the lb/rb  reaches 5.8ft and it allow you to always have somebody on the far post.

The instructions can be tweeked so it fits you that prefer to have the crosses from only one side. If so, I personally would put my target man as Cam and St on the opposite side from where the crosses are coming from. 

Defensive:

POHT

70

Offensive

Balanced

Instructions:

Gk: Come for crosses

Lb/Rb: Balanced, overlap

Cbs: default

Cdms: Cut passing lanes, stay back, cover wing

Cam: Get in the box for crosses

Strikers: Stay central, mixed attack, come back on defence.

Well this might not be for everyone, but hey, play however you like!

Far post still works best for me

@meatgluetre Are you only whipping them crosses from the right hand side?

Looks good, gonna evo my Joselu and waiting for that sbc Giroud....
