What makes a great striker?
Despite the plethora of options at this stage in the game, I’m struggling to find a ST that fits the bill.
Wondering what you guys look for (stats or characteristics) and why?

Others prefer more pacey amd agile players like Mertens and Aguero.
For me it’s a two striker formation with one of each type, using Ronaldo and Carniball Gomez at the moment and finding them to be the perfect combination
I use FB Ibra and Prime Raul. With PIM Socrates in behind.
Really looking for someone who will attack crosses. Fed up of players with crap positioning in the box.
Just sold Eusebio gonna miss him until I do the SBC I have Butragueño but he doesn’t have 4* skills which are also important
Wondering if he live up to his stats?
CR7 is the perfect striker for me, he has scored something like 82 goals in 78 games for me in Division 1/2 and WL. He scores every header and just scores ridiculous goal after ridiculous goal. I like my strikers to have atleast 85 pace , good heading ,good agility and dribbling and atleast 4* on skill moves and weakfoot so strikers like Henry, Mbappe , Prime Crespo and CR7 are the only players that fit the bill. I found Ibra to be unreal in certain areas like heading and volleys but too slow and unagile for me.
@Mossup I would recommend checking out 88 Zapata . He’s got decent pace , height , 99 strength , good jumping 4*WF. Has like 13 goals in 8 games for me
Weak foot
Skills
Shooting
Dribbling
Passing
Workrates
In that order
You forgot the most important thing first, pace.
But honestly I’d go
Shooting/finishing
Weakfoot
Dribbling
Pace
Skills
Socrates ticks all boxes
Just wish I knew what made strikers more likely to attack a cross and/or try to get in front of their defender.
CR7 is amazing, 94 Lewa is slightly better so far, especially with his hold up play, only downside are his longshots.
Think you’ve got a limited field of options here mate. Better start saving for R9
I think I have the two biggest and most skilful players on the game.
nice looking teams, is Naldo any good for you? I tried him for a game and he felt awful on the ball, he feels more of a CB than a midfielder.
Cheers. Love him in midfield to be honest. Intercepts everything and I don't find him awful on the ball, although I don't really dribble much with him.
The most surprising thing is his shooting. It's not really his job, but I've played 56 games with him and he's scored 11 goals.
Fair enough mate.
Liked Lewa in ‘18 but I have no Bundes this year, so he’s not an option unfortunately.
Very tempted by Socrates. Not sure about playing him as a ST though.
Tall:
Good pace is helpful. 85+
Deadly finishing is a must.
Strength & hold up play.
Has to be great in the air.
OK dribbling is nice.
Short passing good.
Small:
Good pace again.
Deadly finishing.
Dribbling / skills.
Great vision/link play.
Brilliant passing.
Good stamina to chase.
Can pass
Has at least 4* skills
4* weak foot is a plus
Finishing of 85 minimum
Can hold the ball up
Pace isn’t much of a factor as you can have fast wingers to put through.
He's great anywhere CM up. Really liking him at CF.
