Super-Sub
By itango2759, 18-12-2017

My most trusted super-sub striker and one of the best cards I have used on any fifa for a long time. The only main problem with this card is the fact he is hard to fit in any sort of hybrid and the MLS isn't the strongest league to be building an effective team from. If you buy this card at the right time you can get him for as little as 15K but on average is around 17K which is still extremely cheap for a card that boasts 90 pace, good physical and good dribbling. The fact I bring him on as a sub means I can play him any any position on full chem in which any of the following positions (ST, CF, CAM, LM-LF, RM-RF) he can play in very effectively and change a game.

  • Pace: Lighting quick. Enough said. He has never been caught by a player in a footrace.
  • Shooting: Inside the box he is very clinical on both feet however I would recommend using driven shots more than finesse shots as these are more effective with this player. In terms of long shots I rarely feel the need to take them as his ability to work his way into the box means its worth doing that rather than take a long shot. On the odd occasion I have taken a long shot with him it has tended to be on target but hasn't overly troubled the goalkeeper.
  • Passing: His passing is reasonably good, but it's probably more effective to dribble your way to creating chances instead. He has a relatively good assist ratio of almost 1 assist in every 3 games from me.
  • Dribbling: In combination with his pace, his dribbling makes him unstoppable. 94 dribbling means defenders simply cannot touch him and if they do, they still aren't getting the ball.
  • Physical: He is only 5'7 so don't be expecting him to win many headers, even with 99 jumping it just doesn't happen. His strength on the other hand is much better than 79 I find. Due to high balance, agility and pace defenders do not have enough time to shove him of the ball so he has enough strength to hold off defenders for that split moment whilst he is getting past them.

The VENEZUELAN GOAT

If you were thinking to buy Messi, here is where I step in. You will not find any other player able to dribble, shoot, win 1v1 against the strongest players, and also score every header, like this guy does. IMO way better than most TOTY, and TOTS.

WHAT A PLAYER!

WHAT A BEAST! I bought him multiple times and every time he takes part in 2 goals per game easily. The only problem is his league and nation. bought him for only 14k. i play him alongside Salah and SBC Promes, but you don't notice that he is this cheap.

MLS GOD

Oh my, i was worried to buy this guy for 34k on PC. It was yesterday, after TOTW release. And now i have no doubt, that i have made best 34k in my Fifa career (which is short, i started playing 3 months ago). I've used this card in SB Legendary and Divisions (div 4), he's the fastest and most agile player ive used. He has great dribling, clinical finishing, good stamina, and 4 star WF. What a striker he is. He made 17 goals...
