Classic Centre Forward

[LiL MeSsI]

I know they aren't the best in this game, but if anyone has got any ideas to who I could buy it would be great.
Just to say Im looking for a Strong, powerful CF that can hold up the ball well, like A. Carroll because I can't really find anybody that would do this job.
Although I have picked up Modeste from Bordeaux who seems to do well when linking with Agbonlahor.

I've found Mitroglou to be quite useful. Not sure if he's "classic" enough though.

How about Carew?

 

[LiL MeSsI]

Any suggestions are great

Who does he play for?

 

[Ali]

Mitroglou plays for Olympiakos.

I have Dembele for my team. He's not exactly your typical classic CF, but he's strong and quick, with great all-round ability.

McGeady! ... Only joking .... I use Claudio Pizarro, good height and fantastic heading ability

I'm surprised you don't put the fucking goalie up front :laugh:

My mate put my reserve goalie as a striker in my team whilst I was going for a piss ... the bastard!

Suffice to say I couldn't work out why my left sided forward was such a pile of shat until I recognized his name! Bobadilla?! Thats the fucking goalie!

Haha! Legend!

He only admitted to it recently as well the smug get. Another CF worth buying - purely for MLO - is Alan Kardec, cheaps as chips with 80 for jumping and heading. Although he has fairly poor other stats he regularly scored headers for me.

Pato maybe?

 

[Cesc Fabregas]

Pato is not a classic CF at all. CHamakh is great for that role imo. another obvious one is Crouch.

Yeah, Chamakh is pretty useful. I quite like Iaquinta.

Giroud who starts at Montpellier I think is a great CF, get him early enough and shouldnt be too expensive. My player growth was set to dynamic though so might be different if its on normal, otherwise the ones like Lukaku, Pazzini,,,,some lad at Brugges, think its Akpale or something,,,he's good

 

[Sminky]

I've bought Sverkos on MLO, a good cheapy starter option if you're playing direct and set piece football ... although his shot accuracy is 67 (say whaaat?) he is a great battering ram.

Good pace, response, stamina, body balance and jumping skills. Something strange I've noticed is that CF's I've bought with heading stats higher than their jump stats always get beaten in the air, doesn't matter how tall they are yet players with higher jump than header seem to win everything! Sverkos has lower heading than jump but wins every ball in the air.

 

[Cesc Fabregas]

because Jump increases their chance of actually getting the ball while heading makes it more powerful/accurate

 

[Sminky]

Indeed but when you have giant up against a smaller player it does seem a little off sometimes

 

[Smarteeeey]

How about Andy Carroll? His market value is low, and he's very young. He starts at overall 70 but he will improve a lot.
Hope this helps

 

[Abhijit Singh]

You can look for Ibrahimovic
Chamak
Bendtner

 

[zizou4ever]

My ideal formation is a 4-4-2 with one centralized CF. For me also I need a big CF who can shield the ball and he has to be very good at heading (I believe 80% of my goals are from header).
My ML team cannot afford big names, so I found 3 guys who are cheap and have those characteristics:
- Schwarz: he becomes a score machine. He's tall, good header stats and body balance. Besides he can shoot with both legs.
- Andy Carroll: pretty much the same as Schwarz. After 3 seasons his body balance is > 90!
- Abreu: he's one of the first to retire and one of the firsts to reborn as youth. He's tall and with good body balance and header stats. I haven't played a lot with him because he's too young now, but he looks promising.

hey.
the overal ratio of carrol in the game is not the real ratio in pes. i have been using pes stats database to fix some overall ratio. and his ratio is 83.
