94 - TOTS

4.0

Amazing but not match winning

By mancuddles, 09-05-2018

Got this guy in my tots pack so thought i'd try him. After 23 games he's got me 29 goals so must be doing something right. His finishing is quality always seems to be able to put it away and surprisingly his finesse shots from outside the box are decent as well. Has the odd fluff with his shooting but that is expected from most cards. His hold up play is on another level always there for the quick one twos, he got me 30 assists already so can play it through quite well once hes held it up as well. Dont be put off by his 84 acceleration, he feels quicker than that in game and when hes at full speed hes rapid. A heel to heel flick will get him to top speed instantly. Headers ive only really noticed from corners as I dont really cross the ball but hes scored a few of them and wins 9/10 headers from goal kicks, even against bailly. He can hold pretty much anyone off the ball and helps if you have dynamic, agile runners around him to play off.

Agility is not as much of a problem as youd think, obviously hes not amazing but drag backs and ball rolls are quick with him and once hes at pace he can change direction 45 degrees relatively easily.

The one thing that would put me off buying him is that hes not going to be one of those players who can save you if your losing in the weekend league, hes not going to do a mad run or score from anywhere on the pitch but if you're better than your opponent, he will definitely punish them. Thats not to say he wont win you games you shouldn't really in because as I said he will finish in the box nearly every time and theres always 90th minute corners.

Overall, I'd recommend trying him out because he wont suit some peoples play style, I had to change mine a bit to use more key passes and through balls because he does make fantastic runs, rather than pass it around the box of my opponent and wait for an opportunity to run through, make your defense splitting passes nearer the halfway line and you should be fine.

For the price however, there are probably better strikers out there but as I said try him out for 10 games, if you dont like him, sell him before he drops in price.

The Monster that is Lukaku

Romelu Lukaku, Big, Belgian and an absolute monster, not only is he extremely hard to stop once he gets going, he still somehow manages to find the back of the net in almost any circumstance, I did have my doubts about him performing for me cause my play style is quite fast and flowing, but somehow, Lukaku finds himself in the right places at the right time almost 90% of the time, yes, he does have a few games where he's ta...

Romelu Lukaku

BEAST!

I was lucky enough to pull this guy out of my first PL upgrade pack, but since I had my forwards set, I was only able to play him as CM. So I converted him to CAM and play him in a 4-3-2-1 as the left CM and let me tell you, this guy is just not fair. He outmuscles everyone, and with the guardian chemstyle he gets that necessary defensive boost. His workrates are fine for me, as I play with Rui Costa as well and I'm sort of...

Romelu Lukaku

Best ST I've used

I packed Lukaku in an untradeable pack and put him straight into my team. He scored 5 goals on his debut and got an assist. Ever since his first game, he has been scoring goals and has not failed to score at least 1 goal in any match. With 99 finishing and 99 composure, you are almost guaranteed a goal every time he has a chance. He always gets into attacking positions and is always easy to find. He is a very accurate passe...
