So while playing Football Manager and going through the roles it dawned on me a curious question...which striker role demands the most skill or talent and which player would say best fits that role?
Here are the options...
- Advanced Forward
- Complete Forward
- Deep Lying Forward
- Defencive Forward
- False Nine
- Poacher
- Target Man
- Trequarista
Based upon the list, complete forward as its name says probably requires the most skill...but not so fast. I actually think that someone like trequarista might demand the highest talent level. Think about it, true that their defencive game is nonexistent and they get to roam around free on the pitch....they absolutely need high levels of intelligence to anticipate where the play is and where it's going. You also need a great amount of pace and finishing skills to transform that role into a world class option. Very few players that I know of carry those attributes and the ones who do are world class such as Auba.
