Player Review
91 - TOTS
Was looking for an LM with decent defensive stats that I could link up with my French hybrid team. I had tried SBC Sessegnon, subbing on TOTS Sane and IF Zuber in this position previously. Lemar is better as an LCM than all of those. The first thing I noticed about him is his passing, puts lovely curve and weight on his through balls and is very accurate with ground passes.
He gets in nice goal scoring positions with good cross body shots from the left. I have managed to score some with his weak foot, but mostly you will need to get him on his left foot if you are outside the box or from tight angles. He will tend do an outside foot if you try to use his right anyway.
Pacewise he reminds similar to 94 Messi, fast, but not absolutely blistering. His ball control and dribbling is right up there and feels really smooth.
Played him mostly weekend league (gold 1).
He's obviously very niche for someone who's trying to link up a weird hybrid team like me, but he's well worth the coin. His weak foot will prevent him being a good CAM or ST.
