What is Goal Poacher?
Goal Poacher in eFootball makes more runs into the space behind the defensive line, right on the edge of offside. The player reacts to through balls and bursts into the box, which turns into a steady supply of clear chances. The higher the Speed and Finishing, the more you get out of it.
Which positions trigger Goal Poacher
Goal Poacher only triggers when the player is used at CF. Played anywhere else the behaviour does not appear, so playing the card in one of these positions is the basic requirement for getting anything out of the style.
