Player Review
82 - IF
I haven't played enough games yet to make a full review, so I will just jot down notes
In general, it feels like a fun card and 100000% worth to at least try for 14.5k as a supersub or a starter.
I play him as a starter and switch to 4-3-1-2 in game as RS, with Crespo LS and Thauvin at CAM.
Yes he isn't the best striker, but for 14k you shouldn't ask for much anyway. I judged him hard and had no tolerance for leniency because with Crespo in the team, I expected another game changer beside him, and there are many cheap informs who are beasts and can do that job, like Josef Martinez for example.
Remember that I haven't played too much with him, and it doesn't mean he won't be a beast for you. I've literally played 3 games, which many people will think is crazy but is at least enough to get some gist of the player you are reviewing.
Tackles like a fucking center back. Will win you 2-3+ tackles a game from the attack, and when he tracks back to tackle at the midfield (shown by his high defensive work rate), he will win you the ball back to set up a counter. You will feel the 92 aggression at times.
Not too much other than that, but his positioning is amazing and will make many runs. Whether he scores a lot or not will be a question, but he will damn sure get into the position.
Finishing is a bit lacking
Ironically doesn't feel too strong, but it's probably his balance. Yes he has 81 balance but the extra height makes it feel like 65.
As for shooting, he can aim well, but I feel his shots aren't too powerful inside the box. It can probably be because of the chemistry style, and I would definitely try him with a finisher instead of a hunter. I feel like he needs another upgrade before he will really fulfill his stats and have potential to be a beast card.
Passing is also lacking, and first touch isn't good.
