84 - TOTS

4.5

The Italian Stallion

By Besart, 03-05-2018

What can I say... Slap an Artist or any chemistry style which boosts his dire 75 dribbling and he turns into an animal.

I have not tested him with any other chemistry style since I figured Artist would be best to improve his poor passing and otherwise-great, poor dribbling stat.

But wait! He's 3* 3*, that makes him unusable!

Absolutely not! He suprisingly can finish well with both feet, although he's deadly with 88 finishing on his preferred right. Skills are unessecary with this card when he keeps the ball very tight to his feet, especially whilst running meaning a simple fake shot will work wonders better than a McGeady spin ect at cutting in.

His work rates are High/Low meaning he'll bomb forward with his lightning quick pace very often, this can be both a pro and a con (he's so fast he ends up being offside most of the time).

His height (5'11") combined with 99 Jumping and 99 Heading Acc. makes him formidable in the air; he wins aerial duels against the big monsters and with smaller player's it's almost guaranteed header. I've lost count at how many near post corner goals he's scored and how many balls he's won me in the air.

His shooting is what you need it to be on a striker, precise and clinical. He can score in the box, and even outside due to his high finishing and shot power stats, although I would not recommend Long Shots with this card.

His physicalty is amazing; 99 Jumping, 86 Stamina, 86 Strength and 58 Aggression. His stamina may seem low although he can just about muster a full 120 minutes if you don't sprint like a donkey the whole time with him. His strength is very easy to notice, perhaps his relatively tall height plays a hand in this.

His passing is very sub par, although he can lay of a variety of passes as long as he's balanced and facing the correct angle/direction. He has 75 short passing which is just enough to lay it off, even with an Artist which gives him +10/+15 he doesn't feel like he has that boost in game, just don't pass with this card that much, you should be passing to him!

Last but not least, pace! It's written on the tin like a can of peaches, but boy oh boy is this card fast. If and once he starts making a run past the defending line, a well-timed through ball will easily see you 1 on 1 with the keeper he's that fast, and his tight ball control works in tandem with his lightining fast pace, he feels faster than my FUTMAS Alessandrini and I haven't even given him a chem boost in pace!
