Player Review
98 - Summer Stars
You actually can't stop the shine anymore!!!
For real, this card is absolutely mad. I was lucky enough to pack him in my Ultimate Pack for scoring in 200 rivals matches (I only started playing FUT 21 in December and have been busy with advanced courses) and I was hyped when I packed him because his stats looked insane.
However, I feel like some taller players have so-called 'fake stats' due to correlation of being tall with not being as agile and feeling as fast such as FOF PTG Yusuf Yazici, and was nervous that it was going to be the same case for Lukaku, but man was I wrong. Sure, of course he's not going to be as agile as Lorenzo Insigne, but he was much more agile than I expected, and there were very few instances where he felt a bit clunky. And unlike Insigne, he can hold the ball well and win headers.
If you pack him, try to fit him in your team. Otherwise, sub him on in the first minute. Too good to be left out.
Amazing striker!!!
Starting team: 4-5-1 formation https://www.futbin.com/21/squad/7491195
In-game team: 4-2-2-2 formation with him and FOF PTG Josef Martinez up top. https://www.futbin.com/21/squad/8741064
- Shooting (best attribute, especially finishing)
- Passing (can surprisingly do long-passes which is important for link up play)
- Dribbling (holds the ball well)
- STRENGTH (RUNS THROUGH DEFENDERS LIKE A TANK with his 99 strength and imposing figure)
Nothing really. If I had to be picky then lacking 5 star week foot and a bit clunky, but it's not even that bad.
