So, I'm around 20 games through my Everton save, sitting comfortably in 10th position, not as high as I had hoped, but reasonable considering it's my first season. Anyway, since the pre-season, Jelavic has not scored, literally! Not once, he has been through on goal ample amount of times, he's hit the bar, the post, everything.

So, I'm just curious, does anyone who's had an out-of form player, know if he reach his goalscoring potential, or do they tend to always stay in the dumps?

May be worth checking the role you have him playing as it does sometimes have an effect. For example you may have him set as a poacher when I'd imagine he may be better off at a complete forward or target man. Just something to consider.

You tend to find that after a rubbish run of form they go into a rich vein of form off the back of it

What's his morale like? Might be worth having a chat with him to see if you can boost it. I'd also give him an individual team talk, something along the lines of calmly saying that there is no pressure on him.

I've tried; Poacher, Deep lying forward, advanced forward.

When we beat spurs 2-0 in the Quarter Final of the Capital one cup his moral was superb but still no goals. I'm pretty confounded as to why he is playing so poorly.

Wow, what are the chances of that! Boxing day game against QPR, 0-0. I bring Jelavic on for Anichebe on the 75th minute.

On the 82nd minute a through ball is played to him from Osman on the wing, he turns round the defender and lets of a rocket from the edge of the area, it's belts the lower side of the bar and goes in and gives me a 1-0 win! Great Boxing day gift there!

I'd sell him in January and get a replacement.

Considering it! Get a younger more pacey lad. Or, a strong target man.

Sold him before the start of the season to Chelsea for 20m. He ended up with around 20 goals I think. By the time they had played me in their second fixture he had 16, didn't bother to check after that.

I got about 4 players in with the money I got from him, sell him for as much as you can in Jan.
