Diego Costa

[WalkerRFC]

Hi

I have Diego Costa at Arsenal. He is yet to score in 5 (1) games and Yaya Sanogo has even got a goal more than him! I play a 4-2-3-1, with Ozil as an advanced playmaker (support) behind, Walcott as a winger on the right on support duty and Chamberlain on the left as an inside forward on attack duty.

Cheers
Aidan

Tried Complete Forward Attack in this setup. No luck.

I have a fairly similar setup with him as an AF attack. Finished top league goalscorer this season, loads of assists too including either 5 or 6 in one game once. He took a bit to gel though.

If you've only just bought him give him at least 6 months to Gel ( he should come good after about 2/3) until that time just bring him in slowly off the bench

Have a look at his Shots/on target ratio. If he's not getting many shots away then you have a supply issue. I've gotten success having Costa moving into space and attacking the near post. Scoring 26 goals and 10 assist as a Trequartisa with two inside forwards on either side of him.


His strengths are First touch, Off the ball and Balance so he's a first time finisher in my books. Don't have him dribble with the ball, instead tell him to spread the ball wide and feet it into him since his states indicated he's a good finisher.
