88 - Icon
4.0
"He looks like a footballer"
By JohnHarry00, 27-11-2017

Owen was probably the most clinical striker that I have ever played with, he has the ability to score from almost anywhere at any time of the game. His shooting was simply brilliant, he could finish anything: first time shot from the edge of the box? BOOM! Top Corner. A simple tap in? Scores every single time. Space outside/inside the box? Pull the trigger and watch the net bulge. 50/50 airball? You'll be suprised.

However, Owen has some serious flaws which have brought me to the point where I'm going to take the 30K profit and run, he just wasn't right.

In game he is frustratingly weak and will be pushed off the ball by virtually anyone with more than 70 strength. His dribbling is awful, no matter how you dribble he just seems to get tackled. These may sound like two small flaws, but for me no matter what he does or how many goals he scores I cannot handle them. It's just too frustrating.

Overall he is a fantastic player for anyone who can afford him. He was good for me but I'd imagine for the right player. He would be unstoppable.

The Clinical Finisher
By Tann, 21-11-2017

I was skeptical of Owen when I first bought him. I had been looking at different Icons all day and an 88 Owen came up for a fairly cheap price so I had to buy him. The first thing is I can say is he's a poacher. For instance, there were a few times when I would take a shot with De Bruyne or one of my wings and the keeper would parry and Owen would be right there to tap it in. He also is very clinical when it comes to 1 on 1 situations with the keeper. I didn't play too many games with him as I sold him for easy profit.

There are quite a few pros with Owen. His pace is very nice as he feels faster than 91 pace. I would say he's more around 94/95 pace. Another pro is his finishing. He pretty much finishes 9 of every 10 good attempts at goal while inside the box. The best pro for me is that he has the finesse shot trait. When you have an Icon like 88 Owen with the finesse shot trait, it literally is unfair because he will score the majority of the shots he takes.

There were only two cons for me that I truely noticed. The biggest one was definitely his physicality. He often got pushed and shoved off the ball and at times it was kind of frustrating. The only thing good about is physicality was his stamina. The second con was his dribbling. His card says 87 but I would rate it around 81 or 82. Owen has the speed dribbling trait so I thought his dribbling would be pretty good but often times when he dribbled, the ball would be pushed out a few yards in front of him for the defender to take.
