Im in preseason (first year with wolves) and i need a good pacey-finishing poacher.. (basically a goal machine)
I've tried all the obvious ones like doumbia, emenike, benitez, sow etc..
The teams accept my offers (the money that wolves have is good and with 48 month installments you can offer 20 mil) but none of these players want to play for me..
Any suggestions?
 
leigh griffiths? ruben rochina, bryan ruiz, moussa dumbelle. willian( botafago 2mil)
 
Gary Hooper was immense for me. Got him for £4m + Vokes. Played him as an Advanced Forward, with Fletcher alongside him as a Deep-Lying Forward. Fletcher got 26 in 36 first season, and Hooper got 30 in 35. Had Sturridge on loan at AML and Jarvis at AMR.
 
Gary Hooper seems too slow for a poacher..
And Leigh Griggiths is on loan..
The other 3 are not as good finishers as i need and willian is not loaded in my save..
I need someone who is fast and a good finisher (like 15 finishing and 14-15 composure minimum)
 
Pace is irrelevant for a poacher, unless you rely far too much on counterattacks. With two wingers and a support striker, all the poacher needs to do is get in the box and finish.
 
Check Erick Torres, can adapt to play as a striker and he turns to be great when you advance on the game
 
Quintero ~ 2m with great pace, shooting and drilling. He'll score for fun !
 
Yaya Sanogo!
Got him for £2m in preseason first year. He arrived late (mid September, I think), due to some mysterious medical condition, but then he started scoring. And never stopped. 18 years old and scored 25 goals for me in 32 matches first season.
Train him and play him as a poacher, and he'll score for fun!

PS! Sanogo is there just for the goals. He won't track back or work very hard (even though he's got the strength and stamina), so you'll need others to take care of that. Train him well, and he'll evolve into even more pure class goal scorer.

Niang - it's easy.

It'll be hard to get him for 20 mil but you can always try sometimes it works. He usually ends up going to a lower key team early on and makes a huge move to a big club later - that or he just stays at caen until a user comes into buy him
 
vaclav kadlec, sanogo, carlos fierro, mbaye niang, mateo kovacic. all of them would sign for wolves..see how much they cost you and get them if you can. good luck.
 
Doyle & Fletcher been working well for me.

All other strikers at the club are fairly useless and are transfer-listed... Dont worry about recalling them!

Trying to get Welbeck on loan, but not interested.

Scouts keep telling me to get Yasser Al-Qatani, so may try him... Thinking of Straqualursi as well
 
griffiths is the way to go, play him next to a target man and he will score 25+ goals a season

Sorry for hijacking the thread a little...

What's with all the love for Griffiths?

Seen a load of people rate him - does he come good?...

Looks poor to me and not getting a game at Hibs so I've transfer-listed him... Is this a mistake?

haha, i only bought him as a backup for my main poacher but he scored 30goals in 35games in his first season with me. i finished 11th. i used him again for 30games in the next 2016/17 season and he got another 27goals. no idea how but he worked for me. i would play him for a few straight games and see how he does

Never mind - he's off to Barnsley!

I've got Sanogo & Julien Schieber coming on free transfers in the summer, so he was never going to get a game.

Now... If only someone would take Ebanks-Blake off my hands!
