Adriano
I'm a bit of an Adriano fan, but when playing fantasy games and am picking who I want, I can never decide whether to put him in as the highest forward, or forgo a touch of aerial prowess for speed and agility, ie Sheva.
If I'm playing for kicks, not some sort of comp, then I usually play 3-4-3 as you can have more fun with three. When I play seriously I always play two, to keep it tighter and a great two can synergise far better than any three.
I like to choose from Sheva, Henry (although not so much now, his sheer all round brilliance makes it a touch like using a crane to crush a fly), Owen, Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Adriano and Rooney. When you're playing for kicks they're all so good and mostly interchangeable that it makes it simple to weave beautiful passages of play.
For a serious game I always like to play an all rounder with pace with someone whose main asset is their heading and balance, coupled with the necessary speed, shot acc and dribb. My favourite two to play are probably either Owen or Shevchenko with Adriano - if only someone would get the latter together in reality, they do seem made for each other.
The way Adriano scores with headers makes it seem like the simplest thing in the world, and his foot is a lovely weapon...if only LFC were still top of the tree, Mikey might've stayed then to partner him. COME BACK MIKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate using 'big' stalky players like Vieri,Adriano,trezeguet etc....they are very slow moving and it annoys me ... A good partnership for me would be, Ronaldo&Ronaldinho, Martins (LW) Ronaldo(CF) Sheva(RW) .....so much pace up front-unstoppable

My fave trio is Owen, Sheva and Henry, but they don't gel as well as some others can...Sheva is great at the point of the arrowhead as he has good enough heading ability to maximise the role, coupled with his other deadly assets.
Always tricky deciding whether to play three pure goalscorers or stick an OMF/WG up there as well.
I hear what you mean about three quick and/or dribbly players, I used to be like that all the time (and still sometimes am) - it seems that playing with a target man, any kind, is usually more challenging and the rewards can feel better, especially if you do Cahill style runs to pick up the knock downs and ram them in on the move...most of it's the satisfaction of muscling defenders and getting the better of them
(Anyone seen Sissoko play?)

I LOVE TOAST
I use a strike duo of Tevez and Gilardino and they score shit loads of goals. I have Cassano as a back up striker and he is my super-sub
