Does a centre-forward to fit Farke's philosophy even exist?

WANTED - Hard working team-oriented grafter who will chase down defenders and lost causes, work the channels, be able to hold the ball up on his own until support arrives/teleports, can pick a pass and has a velco first touch, searing pace for counter attacking, immense physical strength and aerial ability to be able to compete against two 6'+ centre halfs for 90mins; yet is a selfish and clinical cool-headed proven goalscorer constantly seeking to live on the shoulder of the last man and have a sniff of every half chance anywhere in or outside the box.

I really felt sorry for Oliveira on Saturday. The service to him was f**king diabolical. I always thought you look at your striker, your best goal threat, and play to his strengths. So when we had Holt and Jackson (yes I'm harping on about the Lambert-era, my trolls, deal with it) we could bang it up in the air and know Holt would have a bash at it and anyone in its flightpath, or we could ping it forward and Simeon would chase it and more than likely get on the end of it.

We don't appear to do anything to actually play to Nelson's strengths, which for me would be playing it into feet anywhere vaguely in front of goal from about 25 yards out. At the moment its like he's the player character on Pro Evo Become A Legend mode and he's expected to win his own flick-ons and finish off every attack that he creates.
