#120801 Lone Striker?

I am currently Nottingham Forest in my save and have just been promoted to the premiership. The 4-5-1 formation proved most successful for me last season so I am going to try and go with that this season.

The only problem being I never really had a striker who would play up top on his own, and score goals for me. I do currently have Carlos Fierro in my squad so would like to ease him into the team this season but I need someone who could lead the line on his own up top and do a job.

I was thinking it would be best to play them as a False 9 but I am open to options on both player suggestions and how to play them.

I have around £15M to spend on a striker.

Just wondering if anyone has started a save with my beloved Aston Villa? and what experience you have had?

I havent properly got into it yet - I have just had a mess around with Villa so will start a proper save over the weekend but one thing I did notice was how much harder it is to sell players to raise transfer funds?

Also - Villa's finances to start with are awful so you pretty much have to start with what you have..
#76774 Mario Gotze - Help?

Right, I am coming to the end of my first season with Dortmund, just three points behind Bayern with four games to play (one being Bayern).

And generally my squad has had a good season all averaging above 7 apart from Mario Gotze. This is my first experience with a top team on FM13 as generally im a championship side in England or Villa getting as big as it gets.

Gotze in real life is a quality player and generally his stats are impressive on the game but I just cant seem to get the best out of him.

Moritz Leiner has impressed me more and he is only rated at a 2.5 star at the moment so what am i doing wrong?

I play a 4-2-3-1 formation just behind the striker - I have tried him as a Advanced Playmaker and a Inside forward but its just not working. In 24 appearances he averages a 6.97 scoring 2 and assisting 2.

Any help would be much appreciated!!

I took over Villa, as they were bottom of the league (in december) and I am now just 3 points away from that magic 40 point mark.

Anyway enough of my game - I want to change the back room staff but decided its best to do it at the end of the season, in time for pre-season.

Was just wondering if anyone can reccommend any good staff members for a club the size of Villa?

Just wondering what peoples experiences of Jordan Rhodes are on the game?

I am currently coming to the end of February in my first season with Villa, and just noticed that he scored 4 goals as Blackburn beat Arsenal 5-4 in the League cup final.

Having looked at his stats he has scored 28 in 40 games in all competitions this season (so far) also.

So have any people had experience with him in the EPL? Or seen him impress in there games in the EPL?
