86 - IF

4.0

Do your research before buying!

So here's the deal: IF Falcao is a clinical finisher, unstoppable in front of goal. That being said, you need to play him in a formation and tactics that will put him in these positions.

His pace is simply too slow to be able to create his own chances, so you need to feed him good balls. I play him next to Muriel in a 4-1-2-1-2 (2) as a target man, staying central [Basic Chem Style]. Muriel drifts wide, gets in behind. Before I changed these player instructions, Falcao was pretty useless. He can't beat players off the dribble. But he's a great shooter and header!

You need to play him in a team that will cross a decent amount, and create space for him. He's not that great with his back turned to the goal. The formation I use him in is very possession heavy, so he gets a lot of passes. Not all of them lead to an opportunity, in fact most don't, but if you play him enough he will have at least a couple chances in front of goal. He'll score 80% of his shots on target if you're at a decent range. That's what makes him so great.

So be cautious when buying this player! He's not cheap, but he's not outrageously expensive either. I would recommend testing out his NIF first for a handful of games before purchasing his IF. The stats aren't the same but you'll need to get used to his slow pace.
