Have you changed the roles for either player?
I'm thinking the AMC might need a player trait such as "play more through balls" or something to really maximise the use of the ST. My players rarely play through balls or anything over the top even when the ST or other forward players are crying...
Is anyone finding low player ratings for their ST and AMC?
My striker is struggling to score or impose himself on any match, rarely touching the ball and having about 10 passes and maybe 1 or 2 shots a game. He doesn't seem like the focal point of any attack unless he manages to score a rebound...
