Player Review
96 - FOF
I have used TOTS Lukaku before,and he was brilliant,but i wasnt sure it could get much better.But oh boy it did,this 96 FOF card is on another level.On his own or with a strike partner,he is an asset to your team and a must buy for the price,even with 287k(as of the time this review was written) being fairly high at this stage of FIFA.I used him as a lone striker if you are wondering
Pace-9/10-Perfect sprint speed but not quite the accelaration to match,but when he gets going,defenders dont have a prayer against this card.
Shooting-10/10-His 99 finishing partnered with 99 shot power makes for a player who rarely misses inside the box,partnered with his almost perfect positioning of 98 meaning he is right place,right time and rarely offside.The only con of his shooting is the 84 long shots,he isnt a TOTS Messi,Ronaldo or Son when it comes to shooting from distance but this isnt an asset you would expect from a striker of Lukakus stature.
Passing-8/10-I guess he just 'gets the job done' as far as passing is concerned,93 is good for a striker,especially one of 6'3'' height,short passes are completed regularly by Lukaku and his long passing and crossing are suprisingly good,based off the fact that his other cards did not seem to be able to pass over 30 yards with any degree of success,but here we are.
Dribbling-9/10-Huge improvement on other Lukaku cards,95 ball control and 97 dribbling are solid stats for a striker such as Lukaku but his 78 agility and 59 balance limit the belgian from a 10/10 score on dribbling
Defending-6/10-Not much to say on this,makes interceptions from time to time,his heading is second to none if you count that as a defensive attribute,his strength and height allows him to make a few more tackles than other,smaller attackers such as TOTS Mertens and TOTMD3 Son.
Physical-10/10-Strength is perfect,i can safely say Lukaku is stronger than any other striker on FIFA,at least that i have used.Jumping of 81 is far from perfect but his height makes him domianant in the air despite this average stat.His stamina is great,92 for a striker means that he can comfortably last the 90 or even 120 in tight games of FUT Champions
