Player Review
87 - PTG-Spring
The Short Version: He is Benching NIF Auba and EOAE Kaka!!!
More Details:
I use him in a 4411 Formation as a striker. Prime Rui Costa is the CF and Prime R10 and PTG Comman on the Wings. Some times i switch it in game to a 433, 4231 wide or 41212 narrow.
He is Physical enough to protect the Ball and holds its own but also Quick enough to find the open space.
What I like about him is his movement. He often falls back to help Rui in the build up and OPENS SPACE for both of them to use. Which could be a problem if he wasn't there to finish, BUT HE ALWAYS is.
He Scored 72 Goals in 75 matches, most of them in WL (Gold1) and also set up 36 Goals.
Even though i have SBC Cavani, IF Sanchez & EOEK Kaka, he is never the one to be replaced due to his performance and stamina.
I highly recommend him as a striker but I have seen him playing CM in the WL very often and i might give it a go.
One Negative aspect he is missing is his heading in the build up.
When i am pressed or have to boot a Goal Kick, he has a tough time winning the duels against the CBs.
