Player Review
88 - Normal
I started using Griezmann instead of Aubameyang, because I was very, very disappointed of Aubameyang and Griezmann was hilarious in Fifa 17. And, what should I say, he is even better now! First of alle, if you buy him: GET A HUNTER! Hunter is a real game changer for Griezmann, he is also okay with basic but hunter makes him great, let's say insane!
Lets start talking about his stats and how the feel ingame:
Pace: I was a bit nervous about his pace because I like fast strikers very, very much and I was scared after using Aubameyang he would be "too slow" for me in the first games. What should I say: He is fast! Of course Aubameyang was faster, but especially on the first meters he will be able to release from almost every defender to get into posession.
Shooting: This is probably the best part of Griezmann, he can shoot from anywhere! Even his 3* WF don't matter to me, because he even does insane longshots with his right. His finishing is outstanding, I can not remember an 1on1 on which he did not score and because of his decent curve he is able to do the finesse shot with perfection! His long shots feel like 90, I play him with Rui Costa, Isco and Rakitic back in midfield and I swear to you, he is the best shooter on the pitch!
Passing: His passing of course is not special, he is no cm. But on the positive side, it's not bad for a striker! At least you will be able tu pull out some long passes on counter attacks without killing the attack. He is okay in passing, especially for an attacker he is one of the better passers.
Dribbling: Man he is good in dribbling! It's just great that he is so agile! You won't even need the trick stick to fake out defenders with his fast cuts.
Physis: That is the only con. He is very weak and in battles with defenders he loses almost everytime. That is something I can live with, I knew it when I bought him. You will have to take care that he does not get in any physical battles. One more thing about his physics: His heading is great! Not only in his stats, also ingame he scores a lot of headers for me, especially on corners or when he is running into the box and you put a cross right into his running direction.
Overall I think Griezmann is the perfect player for everybody who wants a perfectly balanced striker. He is fast, he is good in shooting, he is good in dribbling, he is good in passing and (surprise) he is good in heading too! Especially outside the box he is comparable to Messi, because the both are so great in dribbling, faking out defenders with small cuts and then finishing with a finesse longshot.
