Getting the most out of Graziano Pelle

[nealcanuck]

Well if you dont know already, Graziano Pelle is having quite the season in the Eredivisie in real life.

In FM I'm playing as Feyenoord and he is just awful in the game. His stats seem quite a bit lower than the other Top scorers in the league, but nonetheless I continued on and tried to get him playing well.

In the first 5 matches or so I think he had 2 goals, so not awful, but Im now just about finished the first season and he's only scored 8 total so his form has gone way down.

I've played him as a Target man, Poacher, Complete Forward and now as a DLF.

Any tips would be appreciated and apologies if this is in the wrong place.

It might be your tactics- id make one of the ifs to support and maybe the ap on automatic

He probably needs a strike partner up top with him

You might want to change a IF to a winger which his prefered player move is giving crosses, since i think Pelle's heading will be alright.

Ah right, thanks guys. Why hadn't I thought of that? I'll definitely make one of them a Winger. And I've also made a tactic with 2 at the top because Anachabar is ready for a lot more time anyway

Came 2nd on Goal Difference to Twente this year, so scoring more will be important.

It could be his supply?

Play with man just behind him on the '10' position. For that position you can use Lex Immers. Just like in real life.
