EA FC 24 Review

5.0

King Kenny

By Linggga, 10-10-2023

For reference, I am currently in Div1, past FIFA's always in Elite. WL about 16-18 wins usually.

Kenny in the previous years was OK-ish, last FIFA only he was unusable tough (in my opinion) due to lengthy meta and his explosive type was just not working.

I have only played players with 5* skillmoves before this EAFC, as they were just OP and I created most of my goals with reverse elastico's or ballroll scoopturns (yes I know - I am a skill abuser but when you are in Elite and playing around 16-18 wins in WL, you have to use some of the meta mechanics to keep up)

This year however this guy is INSANE. 5* skill moves are not really essential as you can create chances by working the R1 dribbling or passing around the box.

His 5* WF are a difference maker as you can finish from everywhere.

All the above are making him a very good option this year but hear me out - his finesse+ trait is making him the best striker, possibly a bit worse than R9 and Pele who I haven't played yet, but trust, his shots are out of this world. I am tempted to say best in game.

You can shoot from like 30 meters with R1, as long as you are in a spot for a finesse, the ball goes in about 50% of the time, which is ridiculous for shots from 25m+.

I have also played Son and Salah as this trait is so OP but their shots are not even close to Kenny's. Salah is still better than Son and both are better than most other due to the trait but Kenny sits above them all.

It gives you such an advantage, it's incredible he is so "cheap". When your opponent is using 5221 and there is just no room to combine into the box? No problem. Try a ballroll to give him some space and press R1+shoot. In the box he even uses the trait without triggering. He just decides to use a finesse to finish (no really, the trait icon just appears above his head and the ball is in goal - doesn't matter that you didn't press R1, he just did it).

Let me tell you, he is fast, dribbles perfect (technical trait for great R1 dribbling), passing is even OK and he shoots like a freakin god. He finishes EVERYTHING!

All in all - incredible player, by far the best Dalglish card there's ever been. Possibly the best finisher in game.

Considering Etoo is 1.7 and Mbappe is 2.9 (as of now) this Dalglish card is absolutely underpriced. Trust me, if you have the coins, buy him. He is special, the finesse trait with him is so overpowered it is just laughable.

If you don't believe the trait is OP because you have tried Son or Morgan or whatever, trust me, with him it is unstoppable.

Godly Finesse+ shots
Pace (Not Mbappe but close)
Finishing
AI movement excellent
Dribbling (Technical playstyle results in silky R1 dribbling)

Maybe passing but this is still OK. You are rarely in a position to have to play a 50m L1 pass or whatever with him. Other passes are as good or bad as with other strikers
