98 - Award Winner

4.0

A bit disappointing tbh

By Turny, 22-05-2018

As a Liverpool fan, I was hoping for the most game changing card out of this. I had tried 4 of his other IFs inc. 2 POTMs and they were very good. This is a step up again but not a massive one. Just doesn't feel like a 98. IMO with those stats, he should rarely make a mistake but I find that he often does.

Lets start with the good. His left foot shot is pretty ridiculous. My go to move with him is to cut in and finesse shot far post. He nails this most of the time, depending on the keeper, hits the post a fair bit too. Shooting with his left is generally great. He is incredibly fast and agile too. Face up dribble is absolute butter with him and you can use that to glide in between defenders. Passing is very decent too and bizarrely, he wins a lot of aerial duels!

But now the bad. My main gripe is that he loses shoulder to shoulder challenges too often. Despite his physical stats, most fullbacks can push him off the ball while he is running (stationary shielding seems to be ok). His movement is also very uncreative. Pretty much just runs wide to try get in behind making him easy to mark and track. It would be great if he would roam more and link play. His weak foot is a big weakness. He has missed open goals with no keeper with his right foot for me. Even his strong foot misses some easy ones pretty regularly which seems crazy to me for a near stat-perfect player. Compare him to Ronaldo's rare gold 94 card who never ever misses a 1 v 1. Even Mertens I found more reliable with finishing.

All in all, disappointing experience for a 98 card but he is still effective. My advice is if you use one of his 98s, stay out of physical contact as much as possible by using face up dribble and whenever there is a left foot shot, just take it!

OTW Salah. HOLY CRAP

Ok, I read a negative review about this Salah card and instantly thought, "is this person okay". He claimed that hero salah was better than otw and that hero card stinks. He also mentioned he could not score long shots. In truth Salah scores 90% of the times he gets a clean shot, which is 95% of the time as he has the "i dont lose the ball trait". As a gold 1 fut champs player, i have played against all center backs in the ...

Mohamed Salah

Definitely one of the best wingers in the game.

I packed him in the first TOTS SBC pack and put him into a 4-3-3 (4) and he fitted into the team incredibly well. In the first 5 games he scored 5 goals and picked up 3 assists. When you cut inside with him, it causes a nightmare for the opponent's defenders. His combined agility and blistering pace make him lethal inside the box and his finesse shots from the edge of the box are ridiculous. The only thing I would say about...
