83 - SBC

5.0

The new META

By AwesomeASLAN, 19-12-2017

Alright so when I first saw this SBC available, I thought it wasn't going to be that significant. A striker with 80 shooting? Eh...High/High workrates... Didn't seem interesting. Then I decided to look up his ING stats and boy was I surprised. He's an Aerial threat, strong AF, and fast? Plus 86 Dribbling? At what was approximately 70k? I was intrigued. Disclaimer: I never played with his Gold card.

I decided to purchase him and replace G. Jesus with him and boy was I excited. Every game he would score or assist or just annihilate the opposition. I can't tell you how many times I came back into a game and won it because I played a random through ball and he pushed off a defender (right as the defender was going to try to intercept it) and then he was through on goal. And boy does he not miss. He smashes it every time and the keepers cant seem to figure how to stop him. His positioning is always great despite the work rates, the most I've seen him do is come to the midway line, but never past it. He always makes great runs for you to provide a through ball for and he will muscle off 90% of defenders and leave them in the dust. I've played 52 games with him and scored 70 and assisted 32 with the Hunter chemistry style. The only thing I think that isn't true about this card is his agility. He feels less smooth than you'd expect with coming out of skill moves or change of direction. Im not saying he can't perform everything well, im just saying he's not exceptional at that, so dont expect him to be agile like a mertens or a jesus.

-Speed

-Strength

-Heading (He doesn't always jump to his full potential, but when he does, hes most likely to get a head on it. With his heading accuracy, he is lethal)

-Dribbling (not over powered, but still very good for a striker)

-4 star skill moves

-Weak foot (Not a fan of his weak foot finesse shots, but his weak foot is great for low driven or power shots)

-Passing (able to assist, as well as create build up play)

-Stamina

-Positioning (even if he's not involved in the play, he's always perfectly positioned for a run or a rebound from the keeper)

-Could be a tiny tiny bit more agile, but still not REALLY a con.

Antonio the Assassin

The best player I have used so far 100%. The rest of the team sits on his shoulders as he scores 2-3 goals a game. One-twos excel with this player with his sublime pace, strength and EXCELLENT finishing. I would recommend anyone looking for a 10k premier league striker to look at him first.

ONE OF THE BEST

I played 20 WL games with him and Jesus IF as striker, he scored 36 goals and got 17 assists aswell. He's like a running fridge with also 92 agility. If you like Jesus IF, you'll love this guy.... the only thing which is different is that Antonio has 88 strength. The only con is that he only has 79 stamina. But overall, he's one of the best striker in the game.

Antonio the Beast

Insane - the only word that can describe this card. He has 85 pace, but it feels like he is flying over the pitch. I've used him in combination with Gabriel Jesus and it was perfect. His pace combined with the 80 dribbling and the 82 physicality make it extremely hard for the defenders to get him off the ball. Even though his passing isn't that good, this guy is a must have for every starter BPL team this y...
