95 - TOTS

5.0

A GREAT STRIKER....AN EVEN BETTER CAM!!

By Tazz1981, 13-05-2018

I'm going to start by saying I've never written a review, but after packing Kane TOTS in the 2nd Prem TOTS SBC and trying him for 20 games, I felt compelled to. This card is INCREDIBLE!

Playing him as a solo striker in the 4-2-3-1, he was an imposing target man that rarely lost aerial battles, and this worked great for knocking the ball down to pacey CAM's that dart past him. He also didn't struggle outpacing defenders with magical through balls from De Bruyne. After using Wilson's 84 IF, I didn't feel like Kane was a downgrade pace-wise when I'd applied a CATALYST card (I didn't need a hunter as Kane's shooting is already pretty much maxed out).

Kane's ball control is second only to the god tier players (Messi IF, Ronaldinho, etc.), and his first touch took me past defenders in to good shooting positions almost every single time. Close control dribbling is insane, he can easily work his way through 3 defenders. Once you have that space, you just have to shoot, it doesn't matter where from! I've scored 30 yard screamers, corner of the box finesse shots to the top corner (88 curve and 94 long shots!)....and don't even get me started on the broken driven low shots, he really doesn't miss when you have the space to get a shot off.

Now here comes the negative part...in the formation I used, with 3 CAM's that like to get forward to support, I sometimes found Kane getting lost due to him tracking back thanks to his H/H work rate, meaning he often wasn't in position to receive passes in goal scoring positions. Here comes the part when I described him as an even better CAM. In the 4-2-3-1, switching Kane to the centre CAM, with De Bruyne (H/H) and Zaha (H/M) either side of him and Wilson up front (H/M), I didn't find that Kane was as overwhelmed by defenders grouping around him as the spacing of the players around him meant that there were more gaps to exploit. Given his passing stats with the CATALYST card, it helped to release Zaha and Wilson more often behind defenders, but also when the game was spread using the pace of the other attackers that use the "tries to beat defensive line" trait, this left Kane in acres of space on the edge of the box to score an insane amount of goals (rebounds and screamers).

My advice, Kane as a solo striker will condense the spacing of the game, making it frustrating, so he's better in a 2 striker set up, however, after playing him as a CAM, I will not be changing him back!

He's about the most complete attacker in the game
Price...under 400K for a player like this is insane!

H/H work rate as a solo striker meant he tracked back more often than not
Defending, but not an issue as a striker or CAM

Wow! What a card

Well... after a debate on why Kane should get in ahead of Neymar with my friends we were glad to see it happen and the 40% EA had didn't go against what the community voted for. I'm lucky enough to have a super team with included 90 R9 and NIF Cristiano Ronaldo as well as a few prime icons from the SBC. I decided to ditch 90 R9 who has been excellent for TOTY Kane and he will be a mainstay in my team with whatever is the be...

Harry Kane

Amazing ST

anThis card is unbelievable. He will finish anything from inside the box. His mid-range shots are excelent as well as his long shots. TOTS Kane plays amazing passes and will beat most defenders in the air. His height is great, so is his heading accuracy. Don''t even get me started on his strength, he will bully any defender, except probably top icons. Get this card

Harry Kane

Absolutely bonkers

Got this man out of the second guaranteed EPL player pack, and having used his second POTM card, I knew I was in for a treat. Right off the bat you'll notice this card's insane movement. Kane will get himself where he needs to be to have the best possible chance of scoring. Physically, he is an animal. He will outpace and out-strength defenders for fun. He will win a lot of headers. He will last all game. In the finals of ...
