Chelsea cannot score

[Jackman_88]

Nearing the end of my first season as Chelsea. Started superbly didnt let in a single goal in the league until december then my players left for african nation and my team folded completely and have lost their way ive surrendered a 10 point lead and am now 3 points of the pace. My main problems is that i dominate games score one and dont score again the over chucks everyone up and score a goal.

If you could recommend a tactic and roles it would be much appreciated

My formation at the moment is
Bosignwa Carv Terry Cole (Full Backs Support, Terry-Limited, Carv-Ballplaying)
Mikel - defensive mid
Essien Lamps Hamsik (Essien-B2B, Lamps-CenterAtt, Hamsik-CenterAtt)
Drogba/Dzeko Anelka (Drogba/Dzeko Complete Striker, Anelka-Deeplying)

Bench
Turnbull
Alex
Zrikov
Veloso
Rodwell (arrives in the summer)
Jcole
Dzeko/Drogba
Deco
Ballack

Since you got a good team and not scoring enough, have you tried to play more attacking and change to standard/more defensive when leading?

And I prefer Essien to play the DMC instead of Mikel. Mikel can play equally well on DMC and MC meanwhile Essien's ability 'drops' when he become an MC.

Or alternatively - although I can't guaranteed - you can try my tactic. It's an 4-4-2 diamond with wingers so you can use Essien and Lampard at their best position (DMC and AMC). Some guys said it was brilliant with Chelsea. If I'm not wrong. he only conceded like 10 goals in a season while scoring 2-3 goals per game. Maybe it's true since Chelsea is solid on defense and it got good headers up front, good wingers, and strong DMC - which is the key players of my tactic. Again, I can't guarantee anything, just an alternative. If you like it then feel free to try it

Ah since the guy above me already post it - that is my tactic actually. So we're on the same page there.

What he said.
Probably buy another right (pacy) winger if you still can.

you can try this tactic: http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/f72/my-man-utd-in-fm-2010-patch-10-1-t24327.html

it is very good for top teams like man utd and chelsea, very consisitent, and WORKS for both away and home games.

i've tried tht tactic ad its great

 

[footballoholic]

have you sold kalou too? ....I wouldn't change to the 4-4-2 with wingers if you only have 2 wingers and 8 central midfielders! Besides, changing the formation so far into the season can have adverse effects. Maybe you could stick with the formation for the current season but i'd suggest playing attacking wingbacks to give some width to the formation .... hope this helps.
