Maybe I don't understand.
You want play 2 strikers - just pick two best strikers, no matter how many levels is between them.

If you are considering options f.ex.:

1. divine striker and magical striker
or
2. magical striker and magical striker

pick option 1, it's obvious.

The only thing to consideration is where each of them should play. It depends on tactic. If you play f.ex. counteratack without wingers, pick faster of chosen strikers (depends on height, weight and BMI) to position where long passes are placing more often. He should reach clear position to run with ball against keeper then.

If you play with wingers, place higher of chosen strikers to position where centerings from wingers are placing more often, he should make more headers then, etc.

Yes sounds good!

I think what sly means is should he play 1 striker slightly further up the pitch than the other. SHould they play in line with each other with respect to their position.

It depends on your tactics and the players. If you have a striker with high passing and playmaking then you can play him slightly behind the other striker. That way he will tend to draw out 1 central DEF and the striker in front should have an easier path to the goal.

I'm not a big fan of strikers positioned behind each other. I like them high on the pitch, they will be in offside some times, but sometimes they just escape the offside trap , which is very dangerous.

If I may give some advice about the positioning of the midfielders: I think all three play too high on the pitch. The two central midfielders can't support the defense this way, because they have to cover too much ground behind them.
Next to that winger Eswara sometimes plays as 3rd striker, which is easy to defend for the opponent. His striker skills are too low to be dangerous in front of goal. Let him play on the sideline, in which you can vary high or a bit lower, so he can swing in his crosses. Amongst the existing tactics there is probably still a tactic like that which I used before with India. (with name: Compact or Friendly)

Yes this is what I meant :p

Thanks for the advice! I think I might try a bit lower mids and wider wing.
With such good wingers like eswara and Krishnan I guess it's better for him to be out wide.

For example on my team I think if I put the player all the way wide he will be wasted because of how poor he is.

Btw good luck in the finals!!! Cheering for you ;)

Ok, now I understand:)

I'm backing De Generaal with his opinion at most parts.

But I think Eswara shouldn't be underestimated as a potential mid with striker role. As I remember he is better striker than few of nominal strikers from NT pool, so he may be useful, depending on chosen tactic of course.
