Player Review
90 - Icon
Well. how do I describe this guy? He is a god. He is literally ridiculously good. I got him for around 500 k through his SBC. So far he has played 284 games and he has managed to score a whopping 342 goals and assist 170 goals. I've used him both as a left forward in the 4-3-2-1 formation and as a striker on the right in the 4-1-2-1-2 (2) formation. as a left forward he was at his best for the first 10 games, scoring 42 goals in the process. Then I switched him to a striker in the 4-1-2-1-2 (2) formation and that was when things got out of hand. He is a monster. When he was at his best for me was when I played him on right striker paired up with Aguero on the left striker and Kevin De Bruyne as the CAM.
SPEED
His 95 pace is mostly shown in game the first 20 minutes. In the first 20 minutes, nobody can catch him. After that he feels a little bit slower, but still above the 90s. I'd say that he lies on an average 93 pace the whole game.
SHOOTING
His shooting is ridiculous. He can score from wherever he is and whenever he wants. Just take a shot shortly outside the box and watch him smash it into the top corner. His low-driven shots and finesse shots are OP aswell. He scores 9/10 1v1s against the goalie. When you arrive at the goal from the side, use his low-driven shots. When you arrive straight infront of goal, use his finesse shot or just smash it. It will end up in the net either way.
PASSING
His passing is accurate. He does not miss a lot of passes. I use a lot of give and go combinations with him, which makes him running through the backline. His longer range passing though is not that good, but it's not a big problem as you usually don't need to do long-balls with strikers
DRIBBLING
His dribbling is something you will have to get used to. His first touch can be a bit bad sometimes, with him poking the ball a little bit too far forward. This can be used to your advantage though. When he pokes it that far, he reaches his high speed, and almost nobody can catch him. He outruns most centrebacks and almost every wingback aswell. Just be patient and calm when you dribble with him as it's a learning process. It will feel really good after the first 20 games
DEFENDING
Do I really need to cover this? He's a striker, he doesn't need good defending. This is a weakness though because he has a hard time taking the ball from defenders as they usually are a lot bigger and stronger than him
PHYSICAL
His physical is probably the only dissapointing thing with this beast. He is pretty weak, making him easy to knock the ball of. This is nothing you have to think about though. Make a quick give and go combo and he's off. When he's running there is nothing stopping him. He has got 92 stamina which you will really take notice of when you play him. Even late in the game he can run and score wondergoals.
This guy is a joy to use and has won me several games single handedly.
