82 - IF

THE Target Man in FUT18 - still after TOTS
By bberger, 26-05-2018

It does sound stupid at this stage of the game, but if you're REALLY looking for an LST as Target Man get IF Carroll and put a Hawk on him. You'll need him in 10 chem too.


Important stuff is that you play him LST with the only instruction "Press Backline".


Do NOT put F9 or Target Man instruction on him as you don't want him to have his back turned to the goal.


He has 99 Strength, 97 Jumping, 99 Aggression, 99 Shot Power, 97 Long Shots, 85+ composure, 6'3" with Power Header and Target Forward trait.


He is unstoppable in the Air, from goal kicks and corners, wins any cross even against Icons and TOTY and if he gets a clear shot from outside the box it's usually top corner.


If you can ignore the fact that he turns like a tank and doesn't play perfect through balls there still is no better Target Man than him on the game, even after all Icons and TOTS are out.


I've tried TOTY Kane, TOTS Lukaku, 

  • Unstoppable in the air
  • Phantastic long shots
  • Power Header
  • Faster than you'd think
  • Short post corners still are like penalties with him
  • Freak of nature
  • turns like a tank (tbf he IS a tank!)
  • can't pass

Andy Carrol is actually pretty good
By naletto, 11-01-2018

I've bought Andy Carrol out of curiosity, his shooting stats are insane and he has high composure, so I've thought "why not?".


Got him and put an Engine chem style, which gets him to: 75 pace, 82 dribbling, 87 shooting, 73 passing, 55 def and 89 physical, which actually doesn't look all that good, right? Wrong.


His 70/70 sprint speed and accel actually felt a little more, he's perfect for that pivot role (backing into oponents) with his whooping 97 base strength and his 193cm height. His shooting is absurdly overpowered, he can literally score from anywhere, and his positiong is on par. If you care less about driblling then I do, with a hunter chem style he has 80/80 pace and 95 shooting.


Played one test run with him, got 6 goals, arnautovic did most of the assists, they make for a great duo, both tall and strong.

Aggression

Really low stamina (71)

Low agility/balance combo

2* skills only, will only be able to do ball rolls

Low pace (which actually doesn't feel THAT low in game)

Feels and plays like base Ibra, but without that sweet 4/4 combo

Kane? Who is Kane
By ZackkFairr, 13-07-2018

After England's simply fantastic showing at the world cup I decided to change my English FUT team to include more of the players and new cards.

I have reviews for the others but i will start with Carroll. He is an absolute animal. I had originally wanted Kane so i could whip crosses in with Trippier, Rashford and Lingard. But after comparing i couldnt resist trying out this monster.

Any headers against any defender he will win. I have run him with a hawk chem style to now. His left foot is fantastic too. His 15 goals in 10 games proves this.

In this Fifa the META has been pace the whole year. Changing things up with Carroll has made the game so much more fun. And for me that has always used a target man this working for me is the best. If you want to challenge the meta or change things up then i recommend this card.

Physical - Jumping, strength and aggression. This man will fight his own mother to win a header.

Heading -Headers are always on target. He will win almost all of them against the best defenders. If you are jumping alone double tap for a low header. Works as well as the low driven.

Left foot - Finesse, Volleys and long shots on the left foot are incredible.

Passing - If you cant get a shot on goal due to a bad cross head the ball down to someone. Works 8/9 times out of 10. Passing with feet is oddly worth while too.

Defending - Defending corners this man is an animal. He will win headers.

Pace - Faster than 68 pace with the chem style. Not ideal for running in behind but if the position is right it will work.

Stam - Needs replacing as gets tired at the end of the game. He has normally caused massive damage before this.

Dribbling - Don't even bother.
