Player Review
94 - Summer Heat SBC
I've just written an Ibra review, showing my team in that as well, and that might be why you're here; to find about more about the Tottenham Hotspur stalwart that is Christian Eriksen. His 5*5* makes him unbelievable, and he is hands down the best CAM I've used on this game, however, he does have something missing, but it could just be my playstyle because I have never used an actual CAM for this whole game cycle, I normally use a striker or winger.
PACE: 8/10- Eriksen isn't rapid. He's slow, but he's not. It's super hard to explain, but you wouldn't play him on the wing. He does the job, but there are better options if you want a pacey attacking mid. He's slower than Ibra but faster than normal CR7.
SHOOTING: 10/10- If you want a clinical finisher, Eriksen is the guy. Hasn't missed for me (yet) in 7 games, with virtually everything sailing into the top corner, whether it's a finesse or just knocking the leather off the ball. The 98 shot power is so, so good, and the long shooting is unbelievable. If you want, you could play this card as a striker, especially with the 5* weak foot.
PASSING: 10/10- It's Eriksen. Need I say anymore? Can pass on both feet, over the top through balls, ground balls, driven passes, crosses, the lot. Unbelievable passing, basically the reason you get this card.
DRIBBLING: 7.5/10- This is what I meant when I said something was 'missing.' It's lacking a bit, but at times Eriksen isn't that responsive and turns terribly in bad gameplay. He does have the ability to take on players one-on-one because of the skills, but he's not a silky dribbler like Matheus Pereira. I can only imagine that Firmino and Bruno Fernandes Summer Heat cards are probably better in this area.
DEFENDING: 6/10- It actually surprised me. It's very decent, can win the ball back if needed and can play in a centre mid role if you want. Wouldn't go higher than a 7/10 because it's probably still worse than normal Kante.
PHYSICALITY: 7/10- Like before, it's alright. He can run the whole game but gets bodied off the ball quite a bit. At times, does show a bit of resistance and the aggression kicks in and beats players with low stamina. It's decent.
VALUE FOR COINS: Yes, he is worth for every Serie A team. Does have that 'missing' thing, but still hands-down the best pure attacking midfielder I have used in this game. He's probably the B-Tec Firmino, but not worse by much which makes the value very good. If I had to recommend something, I'd personally rather a Perisic or Modric at CAM because their dribbling is better, and Eriksen at striker.
