94 - TOTS
This guy along with Thomas Muller has reignited my enjoyment of this game.
I had been rocking with R9 and Henry for so long and the game had got stale. I decided to bench R9 and trade Henry in for Gullit for more steel in the midfield despite the annoying scenario of having 3 million untradeable coins sitting on the bench. First I tried Serie A with Icardi and Immobile to get the TOTS Savic in but there was something missing. I looked to the Bundesliga and went with the attached team and haven't looked back. Batshuayi scores goals as you would expect however it is his overall contribution that impressed me the most. His strength is stupidly good. So many goals are scored through passing it into his feet for him to hold it up and await the cavalry. If they mark the runs his dribbling and agility are good enough to turn and use his more then clinical finishing off both feet. His work rates worried me but it almost seems to help pin defenders as he tends to hang back. I couldn't recommend him more and his combination with stealthy assassin Muller (High/High) is the stuff of dreams.
With a hunter just about every stat you would want for a strong striker is 99!
STRENGTH
Pace
Dribbling
Finishing
Stamina - I usually have to bring R9 on after 70 mins although his work rates negate that a little.
Weak foot - It feels more like 4 and a half stars but still isn't 5
Work rates - If you get used to them you can use them to your advantage
Long Passing - I don't use long passes too much but if you do this may be an issue.
