You won't get more goals from him as advance forward compared to poacher. Some strikers may fair better if they sit deeper, but then you'll need good strength, long shots, teamwork etc
Are your wingers on attack duty? If so they will look to score instead of cross.
I think if you have a striker in an attacking role you need to have supporting players so maybe he just isn't getting the support he needs. You can also play with different crossing settings like drill if he's fast and then different player instructions like cross more often.
The ppm "likes to beat the offside trap"is kinda essential too.
You can also look at his scoring attributes and change a ppm according to whether he's better off placing or powering shots.

cheers for the comment mate, yeah my wingers were attacking but took your advice and switched them to support and starting to see the results
DLF and AF have always been best for me, I do tend to use inside forwards though.
I never use a poacher as a lone striker they're usually too stationary and unless you're sitting deep and trying to catch them on the counter sitting on the last man isn't going to do a great deal.
