As a forward part of your role is to SCORE GOALS!!!!
Alexis was badly deficient in scoring the first half of last year, but he has gotten over that problem.
As a forward, your role is to maximize how many more goals your team scores than the opponents. It does not matter to the team if a forward is actually scoring or if he is increasing his teammate's scoring.
Neymar will have to pick it up with his pressing to keep either Pedro or Alexis regularly on the bench. Pedro has periods when he scores quite a bit, but it's been a while, I think this is going to put him behind Alexis. Alexis still fluffs quite a few chances, but despite this, he is scoring just fine. Most importantly, he shown great progress in providing opportunities for Mess and the other shooters, this is incredibly valuable. The biggest untapped potential on this team is from Messi: if you make Messi better, you will play.
