Player Review
94 - TOTS
I am a huge Dortmund fan, so when TOTS Bundesliga came out I was ecstatic. Today I opened the TOTS guarantee pack and before I thought, "okay the only players I don't want are Peterson, the goalkeepers (cause Fahrman is a beast), and anyone I can already afford (under 100K). Well, I saw the German flag, freaked out cause I thought it was Marco Reus, then I saw the ST position so I was expecting Gnabry which would be cool as well, and the I saw 94 and though, "oh kill me now". I mean, 2 star Skill Moves, low pace, and not even great passing... what is there to want. But I decided to use him in my team, and I was still very upset when the match started. His first game was fantastic. He scored a hatrick and the keeper was doing an amazing job to keep him from scoring more. I was still pretty pissed that I got him and thought it was just the opponent playing terrible defense. The next game he got two goals. So now I'm thinking either he's had a few really lucky games or he's actually very good. After 7 games he's score 11 goals and had 4 assists, which is nowhere near bad, especially considering his price tag. I am now going to replace him for Divok Origi and he's linking well with Batshuayi. His card has a unique feel to it. I think you need to use it in a two striker formation, because he creates amazing chances, but only when you don't try to force him through. He is mostly clinical and his physicality and passing are solid on a Catalyst chem style, but I think what really separates him is his positioning. Also, he is only really great in transition, because he has such crappy skill moves. He doesn't feel like an amazing card, but he is. I guess he's kinda similar to Muller. I would still prefer to have packed someone else, because the TOTS is just unbelievable and I can't trade him, but I mean, if I were to have, like, 150K to spend on a player, I would spend it on him and keep 60K for something else. I'm giving him a 8/10
