Player Review
98 - Shapeshifters Hero
Packed Ginola out of an 85x10. He is somehow still worth over 1mil in august, but I can see why. I play him in a 4-2-2-2 at ST. The first thing I noticed with this card is his shooting and composure. He never goes wide of the goal when shooting, and paired with his 5* WF he is a serious contender for best No9 in the game. His dribbling is quite good, but much like TOTS Leao his High and Average body type paired with his 6'1" height takes off the edge compared to cards like Di Natale and Ribery, who turn faster. He also stumbles a little bit in 1v1s due to his height, and I have seen it in other players of similar builds such as TOTS Son. The 5* skills more than makes up for these issues however. His passing is excellent for a striker, and he has gathered 30+ assists in 43 games. Another plus is his physicality. Unlike tall and weak players like Son, he is able to hold off most defenders, and is a great aerial threat on set pieces and crosses. His pace is also good, but he feels noticeably slower than my 98 bale despite having only 1 pace stat less, he is still very fast and easily breaks through the back line. Great Card overall, but incredibly overpriced due to his rarity
Pace - very fast
Shooting - incredible target man
Passing - can pick out anyone on the field
Strength - great hold up player if necessary
Jumping and Heading
5*5*
Great ball control and dribbling
Can feel a little clunky sometimes - very on/off.
not as fast as the 98 pace suggests
stumbles a little bit
can sometimes be less of a threat on set pieces for reasons I don't know
