What to do with Walcott?

[xelliotx]

Got him for 11 mil, transfer listed. He's a striker, but i'm not sure what to do with him. What training shall I put him on, whats his best position, how do I get the most out of him?

You using the LFCMarshall update? I used him pre-update in my Arsenal save, but used him as a winger and he scored some amazing goals! Train him as an AM if you can and use him as a Treq.

I'll try that, I used an update midway through january.

Play him as a poacher, and have shouts as ( Pass into space, Work ball into box )

Using pass into space shout effects the whole team though, so might not be a good idea, however if you set him as your target man, with the supply as "To run onto" then that will get the desired effect

However, this won't work with teams playing with a deep line, as there won't be any space to run onto!

He destroys teams when I play him deep lying forward partnered with a poacher

Winger, advanced forward (lone striker) or backup striker (still does a good job as a deep lying if that's what you regularly play and your first team strikers injured/not fit). Why buy players randomly like that for so much money? You can find much more effective solutions shopping cheaply. Whenever I spend that kind of money I make sure he can fit in my first 11 or at least the bench if I'm a big club. Keep in mind he's actually very consistent if you can keep an eye out more on him during pre/post match, half time talks and also during the year keeping his moral high.
