Yes off the ball would be an important attribute in being an effective false 9. However, as i said, this guy is not a natural striker, combined with the fact he has 9 for team work and 11 for work rate. Think of Cristiano Ronaldo. He has 7 for team work in the game. Can you imagine Ronaldo regularly making space for someone else to score? No, Ronaldo would expect someone else to make room for him to score. This guy is similar. He's not going to be your false 9, however, he may be effective as the man who moves INTO the space created by a false 9. When you're looking for a false 9, look for good off the ball and work rate, as well as the ppm "Comes deep to get ball"
