Finding strikers in youth academy?

[Resurrection403]

I dont really care about pace or size or whatever, but, how do you find strikers? I only seem to be able to find wingers.

I always search for "any position" but am not finding a ton either. I would say if you search Attacker and Strength you would get strikers as wingers won't be strong... or so my logic says but EA maybe says otherwise..

On a side thought... With the new training could one not train up a young winger and make him a striker? It will still say winger but scoring for me is the easiest stat to increase as the drills are pretty easy.

The drills I stink at are the high level dribbling ones... Thus I want players with dribbling skills as all else I can train.

Not a sollution just thinking outloud...

Bamastriker says if you search physical, tech gifted, winger or attacker you should get some.

I can't seem to get ST or CB in YA. I set a 5/5 scout on attacker, he turned up only cams, cms and wingers in 9 months. Then I set him to defensive minded, he only turned up cdms and LB/RBs. Not a single CB or ST from either in 9 months. I've also never gotten a ST from tech gifted, only CF. I haven't tried the strong trait for CB's, but they should be showing up in defensive minded.

I am having a hard time finding them as well. I have yet to find a CB but plenty of CDM that could play that position and I have only found 1 ST but hes a beast. Mario Riggio, Italian, 15 yo, 57 ovr, 81-94 potential. So the wait is worth it.

I think now that YA players have multiple positions once they are signed that the tendency is to find a lot of midfielders and wings and move them forward or back depending on skills.

Sigh.

This is worrisome...

I've had some strikers come in... but it seems that there's a absolute tonne of middle fielders compared to cbs cdms and st
