Beast at striker

By notrealgood, 27-10-2017

I usually used the quick, agile, light strikers in FIFA 17, but the same strikers kept getting pushed off the ball too easy in 18. Saved up (after some insane pack luck) to buy Henry to give me a bit more strength at striker without sacrificing the speed, skills or agility. Tried a few of the heavier strikers like Lukaku, Higuain or Kane and i just couldn't make them work for me. The lack of agility and skill moves meant i couldn't create enough chances with them.

starting in a 4321 formation and switching into a 4231 in game so he wasn't off chem. First game bagged a hat-trick and an assist. I thought he'd be good, but he's phenomenal. Always in the right place at the right time can bang them in with either foot. fineness shots outside the area are his speciality along with his finishing. Current record for me is 17 games 24 goals and 19 assists. Most of these coming from divisions and a few Legendary squad battles. Side note, i'm not the best FIFA player, Average at best. Averaging Gold 2 in weekend league

His hold up play is fairly good. Tall with decent strength only the strongest defenders will cause him trouble. His passing stats are good for feeding the CAMs as they run though.

His only weakness would be his Heading ability. Which is strange because he's 6'2". he scored a few headers but only from counter attacks when unmarked in the area.

Similar players would be Ronaldo, Bale or any winger/striker with decent speed, strength and skill moves. Cheap version if you're looking for one would be Martial.

There's really only one (maybe 2) and it's only because i'm struggling to think of one.

Great after time

I bought him for a great deal (800k) and was only really interested in flipping him but decided to use him in the mean time. At first I really didn't like him, couldn't seem to finish, and felt sluggish on the ball. But after 60+ games I don't get it but he feels great now and is scoring at least 2 a game.

Thierry - BEAST

Middle Thierry,What a beast. Let me first just say that I have used his baby card and it was absolutely terrible. This card is up there with Ronaldo's level for sure. Clinical finisher, bodies everyone off the ball, wins headers, long shot/finesse master, and fast as all get out. I can't think of one bad thing to say about him to be honest. I have been looking for a star player and he has definitely fit th...
