Player Review

93 - TOTS
5.0
Wonder Kid
By marcusw13, 29-05-2018

First things first - This is my first and probably only player review dedicated to a player who has transformed my game.


So as most people, this stage in Fifa is all about getting those TOTS's and fitting them into your team. I had Sane and wanted to pair him with Mbappe (My two favourite players in real football atm). So out of impulse I splashed 600k for Mbappe when I didn't pack him in my untradeable Ligue 1 pack. I HAVE NO REGRETS! I consider myself an above average player but with Mbappe in my team I feel like it gives me an advantage. The only times i have played with the top tier strikers in the game were in Draft mode, so getting Mbappe I have finally realised what it must be like playing with 94 R9 or Striker Ronaldo. He turns half chances into goals time and time again. With his help i managed to finally reach D1 and also won this weeks Daily knockout tournament with ease.

Pace: Having used Sane and Salah in my previous team I grew accustomed to pace. Mbappe is no different, he loves a threaded through ball into a channel or a straight forward sprint race towards the ball. With the ball he is rapid - not quite Salah level but he is more than fast enough to outpace 99% of defenders the only ones who came close to him were Prime Ferdinand and TOTS Ramos.


Shooting: Unreal. He can genuinely score every type of goal, my favourite is where a defender stands me up but i can quickly release a snapshot across goal which inevitably flies into the top corner. I had to overcome my problem of only shooting when the probability of a goal is high, with Mbappe i have no qualms about taking an early shot or even overrunning the ball a little before I take one. His finishing is the best i've ever played with and he simply does not miss the clear cut chances; what makes him amazing is how he scores the improbable chances. Whether they are shots through defenders, finesse's from outside the area or volleys.


Dribbling: I consider myself a dribbler. I tend to disregard any strikers that don't have at least 4* skill moves. It may not be the meta to play in this Fifa but I love weaving in and out of player and beating them with a skill move. Mbappe does all of this and more. We've all had those times were a player performs a nice dribble move without you even doing anything. One moment stands out for me when I played a front post corner into Mbappe. He took a great touch then drag-back to beat the first defender, then shifted the ball to his right then back to his left to beat the second then performed the same move once more in the crowded penalty area before dispatching the shot. If you like to dribble Mbappe will not let you down.


Passing: Faultless, due to my play style i like to play quick one-two's with my forwards I was never aware of Mbappe making any stray passes; his 4* weak foot helps here too. I did however notice this while playing with Sane who has better passing.


Physicality: Strong like an Ox. Combined with his dribbling this wonder kid is so hard to shove off the ball. At first i thought his Balance was a bit low but this combined with his 85 strength is no problem, he will hold his own against every full back in the game; you may have some issues against the Meta CB's though.


Defence: Not really a major negative but he hasn't got the defensive capabilities of a TOTS Firminho. I like to play a team pressing style but even in this system he done a good enough job.

Possibly the best striker of FUT 18

After buying 97 Mbappe few days ago and playing 20 games with him I've been nothing else but blown away by this card. His in-game stats speak for itself, they are better than anyone else's .Combine that with his Technical Dribbler, Speed Dribbler and Finesse shot traits and you get a perfect striker. To put it in perspective, TOTS Son now feels like a bad player playing next to him.He is great on the ball,...

This youngster is unstoppable..

We are just at the start of FIFA 18, and loads of great cheap players are to be discovered. But today, I will try to give my honest, un-biased opinion of Kylian Mbappé, the 18 year old kid from Bondy, France who just signed at Paris Saint-Germain on a year long loan with a 180 million euro buy clause. This card might be the MOST EXPENSIVE 83 rated card i...
