Player Review

92 - Award Winner
5.0
The Pharaoh
By mancuddles, 10-03-2018

I did his sbc as soon as I saw it, for me was cheaper as I had the previous POTM which I didn't use any more so didn't mind losing. I use him as a left sided CAM in a 4-2-3-1 but sometimes as a LM in a 4-4-2.


Dribbling

First thing I noticed about the card in game in comparison to his 89 potm was the effectiveness of his dribbling. Yes his 89 and any of his other cards are amazing at dribbling, but the upgrades on this have bought him up to be on par with messi, neymar, TIF mertens etc... His close control dribbling is the 8th wonder of the world. He is one of the few players I have seen be able to have an extra touch to take it away from defenders on the sprint as well.


Pace

Valencia will not catch him thats all that matters.

Seriously quick though, feels quicker on the ball because of dribbling stats but still much quicker than the previous POTM.


Shooting

You've seen his stats and they don't disappoint. I use a finisher chem style and now his longshots are stuck further in the 90s than liam gallagher. In the box it will always be a goal and despite the 2 star weekfoot, the ones you'd expect him to score with it like one on one finesse's he scores. Speaking of finesse shots, this was one of the biggest improvements I found against the 89 POTM. Cutting in from the right and using his left for them is the most OP finesse shots on the game for me which although maybe annoying to concede to, are finally an accurate representation of his wand of a lefty.


Physicality

Strength is what you'd expect but to be honest it's not really needed when he can take the ball away from anyone.

Stamina lasts for the whole game can, stays at the same level of effectiveness throughout.


Defending

Again what you'd expect but not really needed. Although one thing to point out is that because of his pace he has been able to tackle fullbacks trying to counter from behind by running past them for me a few times.


Cons

Only con I have found, is very occasionally, against tougher opponents he has been ineffective but I think this is down to me not using him properly when i'm under pressure as I will tend to use players I know more because finding out how to utilise a player properly can sometimes be risky if it goes wrong. Im sure this will soon change by the end of this WL and even in these games he has still contributed with a goal or two because of his positioning and the broken technique of, if in doubt, low driven cross.


Played all his games for me (except one) in weekend league and currently 16 & 4 and in all fairness, he has won me a couple of these scoring 17 goals in 21 games with 6/7 disconnections.

OTW Salah. HOLY CRAP

Ok, I read a negative review about this Salah card and instantly thought, "is this person okay". He claimed that hero salah was better than otw and that hero card stinks. He also mentioned he could not score long shots. In truth Salah scores 90% of the times he gets a clean shot, which is 95% of the time as he has the "i dont lose the ball trait". As a gold 1 fut champs player, i have played against all center backs in the ...

Definitely one of the best wingers in the game.

I packed him in the first TOTS SBC pack and put him into a 4-3-3 (4) and he fitted into the team incredibly well. In the first 5 games he scored 5 goals and picked up 3 assists. When you cut inside with him, it causes a nightmare for the opponent's defenders. His combined agility and blistering pace make him lethal inside the box and his finesse shots from the edge of the box are ridiculous. The only thing I would say about...
