Season 2 - best false 9?

[teammfmjamie]

No fund restrictions, need a false 9 in a control tactic.

Been looking at Barbosa and Malcom mostly, I know Zivkovic is popular but unsure if he could play false 9 well, but between Barbosa and Malcom, people seem to have better results from Malcom...?

Id suggest Malcom, what do your scouts have to say about either of them?

Barbosa is injury prone, honestly...
Malcom is very good in game.. you need to give him game time and show some patience initially...

On a side note, Hakan Calhanoglu is amazing as F9! immense! Also, he scores awesome free kicks..

I've so many succeses with Barbosa,in many of my saves,but totally depends of his PA,if his PA is low,then he'll develop poor,but if it's good,he'll be a legend. Same with Malcom and Zivkovic.

Honestly if they are talented overall, they will be a good false 9.
Barbosa, etc. are good but you have to be patient in developing them because they are very young.

If you want someone who can contribute sooner, I'd also look at Icardi, Berardi, Munir, and Vietto.
Also Vincent Aboubakar is a ready-made beast and can be had sometime in season 2 and you said budget was not an issue.

Playing Neal Maupay as a false 9 in my leicester game.... Scoring for fun!
