im curious as to whether anyone has tried or had some success with only 1 target man up front?
at the moment im playing with 2 up front 1 of them being a target man on support. he is 6f 8in with strong jumping and strength stats. I have a AF playing off him. to score from his flick ons. now it appears to work some what with my TM winning on average 28 of his 30 headers. he gets a few assists but very rarely scores. after seeing his stats I changed him to attack and he went on to score 2 goals in the very next match. his got m thinking? is it possible to have him sit uptop and supply him with constant crosses from wingers and full backs?

im thinking of playing a 451 with dm and two wingers to bomb down and supply crosses from the byline. now im not sure if this is possible? my question is can it be done or is a TM suited to a two man attack?
 
I did with Feyenord.

TM A
W (A) W (a)
ap (s) bbm
dm (d)

I play Giroud alone as a target man in a 4-1-2-2-1 and he's scored 22 goals in 34 games with 10 assists. Not as prolific as I want him to be but it's decent.
 
if you have a winger with 15 minimum crossing etc on one side playmaker of some kind in the amc role and an IF on the other flank, the targetman lone striker tactic will work wonders, tried it with arsenal used ozil as a winger on the left i bought drogba (chelsea fan :P ) and my word, first season, 35 goals in 30 appearances, the old dude still has life. Anyway, if you have a decent winger who has pace and can cross with the back up of the inside forward incase the target ma fumbles, you are onto a winner.
