Player Review
81 - IF
I saw there's no reviews on this monster, so I thought I'd make one!
This guy is a beast, scored me so many goals in a cheap fitness La Liga team, both in division rivals and FUT Champions. I'm a Gold 2/1 players (could do Elite 3 without fitness teams I guess), not the greatest but decent and this guy is really easy to play with. He's quite tall, decent pace, quite strong, and has great finishing. I used him in many formations (lone striker in 4-3-2-1, 4-2-3-1) but many in two strikers formation (most often the 4-4-2 which is quite broken, or at least used to be). Chemstyles used are Hunter, and the classic Sniper/Finisher/Deadeye which look more useful than just a raw boost of pace. You might go for Marksman too.
Pace [83] : Not the best acceleration but pretty decent considering his height. His sprint speed is great though, think of a weaker but way more agile Lukaku, so he feels quite fast. As it's sometimes hard to outpace people even with the likes of Lucas and so, I find this blend of strength and pace pretty good.
Shooting [81] : Keystats here are Positioning [89], Finishing [85] and Shot Power [83]. He's clinical. He might not get involved in your passing game a lot but you'll always find him at the end of your actions in the perfect position. Long shot stat is bad, but the Shot Power makes it up, and he scored a few bangers. Volleys are great too, but that might be just because of how the game is made, so I won't talk about it. His weak foot is ok, nothing great, nothing terrible. Curved Time Finishing are ok, overpowered for every player so kind of irrelevant.
Passing [66] : Bad stats all over the place right. His short passing [71] is pretty bad. He's tall and strong-ish so he can play the Pivot game, but he's missing a lot of simple passes. However, his long passing [61], especially his long through balls, are actually pretty decent. He's no Xavi but he can pull some decent passes. He might be lacking in a 2 strikers formation because he's going to struggle playing 1-2s and so on though.
Dribbling [81] : 3 stars is obviously a bad point, but he has ok dribbling, all round, decent agility for his height, ball control is good. can't really do much with 3 stars and no acceleration though.
Physical [79] : 88 jumping (+ 79 Heading accuracy) with 185cm height is a pretty deadly combo on this Fifa.
If pressing a lot is your game, I reckon he'd fit nicely too, he works tirelessly, and since he 'only' has 80 ish pace, you usually don't burn off his 81 stamina that easily by making deep runs with him, and he'll last all game long. 75 Strength feels more like 80ish. Agression is about right, he wins back balls quite often.
Anyway, he's really good, and is more or less at Discard Price, so no reason to not use him, I personally bought him again to play in a fun Portuguese/Liga Nos Fitness and I don't regret it!
