I packed him in the first TOTS SBC pack and put him into a 4-3-3 (4) and he fitted into the team incredibly well. In the first 5 games he scored 5 goals and picked up 3 assists. When you cut inside with him, it causes a nightmare for the opponent's defenders. His combined agility and blistering pace make him lethal inside the box and his finesse shots from the edge of the box are ridiculous. The only thing I would say about his shooting is, do not use his weak foot in any situation. It has a very low chance of a shot off his weak foot will go in.

This is the first review I have written all year, I felt very inclined to write it to share my reactions about this card. HE IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST FIFA PLAYER OF ALL TIME!!!! I have done all of his POTM SBC's throughout the year and when I saw the chance to complete his POTY SBC I knew I couldn't miss the opportunity (I have the POTY but it is the same card). Throughout the year I thought that his 89 was the best card in the game then his 92 then 93, but after playing 50 matches with his 98 I can with confidence say it is the best card ever. First of all it has the most in game and total stats of any Fifa card to date. I have played Salah this year at cam st and rf/rw (pause in game) and I have not seen a player that can do it all as well as him. He out physical players such as Desailly and Valencia almost every time he has the ball, his 85 strength is the best thing about this card. His shooting and pace speaks for itself its phenomenal. His positioning is incredible you can expect at least 3 goal scoring runs a game that no defender can mark. His passing is great for give and gos and that is the reason I play him so much at cam (and for his long shots). Lastly his defending is crazy, he is the best defensive attacker ever he feels like a right back at times. He is great at tracking back on defense and is great at interceptions. I have used a finisher chemistry style on him this whole year and that is what I would recommend. The big issue everyone has about his card is his 2 star week foot and I can say that it does not bother me, he will usually tend to finish with his left anyway and his dribbling is so good that you can switch it over to his left foot at any time. I have played over 500 games with different Salah special cards this year and he has a positive goal ratio with tons of assists. He is well worth the 1.4 million he is currently and if you have the coins I would definitely try him out.

Salah is out of this world, I have used him for 40 games, and he has 53 goals and 21 assists from striker (all in the weekend league). His weakfoot is not a problem because his finishing and composure are both very good. His pace is like lightning and his strength is sublime.

It was a fine summer morning... I was lying in bed hungover, trying my best to log in to EA Companion app! All of a sudden, the bulb in me lit up and I saw the new SBC's out! "PREMIER LEAGUE TOTS", the beast was finally available to be completed! So I calmly put in the players I had (10 untradeables and 1 Matic) and submitted it. Having come out of 12 brutal upgrade SBC's with Mangala being the top bloke in 7 of those packs.. I had no hope left! I opened the pack and there he was.... The Egyptian god, the myth, the legend- Mo Salah !Dont remember much after that, I had gone back to sleep or just fell unconscious..

I was never a big fan of Salah since I prefer attackers with atleast 4* weak foot, but oh boy! This guy is unreal. The pace, the thumping shots and 90+ strength with hawk? WTF! But what impressed me the most, the calm and composed finishes he has in the box and the bullet headers he scores! Come on, we all know while defending against short players, we really dont care if they try to jump, it looks cute! But this guy heads the ball as if he sees the ball as Ramos and takes his anger out on it. Of course, he's a great dribbler, passer and makes fantastic runs but in the box, he's like a 6 ft tall player with a 5*weak foot! Guess the stats don't lie after all!

I use him with a hawk chem style to enhance his long shots, I dont know if its the chem style but he takes some bullet long shots as well! I play him on 10 chem at LF (change in game) and he does brilliant in every game.. Passes like David Silva and shoots like Ronaldo while in a body of Messi!

I was lucky to pack him as an untradeable, I guess the FIFA gods were a fan of the beer I had the previous night ! haha

I got him in my garanteed packs and i know that everyone is going to call me the most ungratefull guy on the planet but i will be putting him back into an SBC he will take the rating down by loads as a 98 rated card. Put it this way if i could sell him for 150K i would!

So the reasons for giving him such a low rating for what he is, it mainly comes down to the 2* weakfoot, i don't really like left footed players in general but with 2* it's just too obvious what you are going to do and you don't really have any other options. Now before anyone jumps on me and says it must be because i'm bad it's quite the opposite i mainly play weekend league and due to this i'm still in D5, i play friends and squad battles mainly through the week. When you play at the top level trust me 2* weak foot is like playing someone with 50 pace it's just not going to work, play against me with Salah i garantee you will not score past me with him.

On the other hand i took him into D5 and he was fantastic, if you generaly come up against opponents that give you a little more space it's fair to say he does feel like the best card in the game, and also in squad battles even on Legendary he is brilliant.

Basically everything about the card is perfect bar a major con and thats the weak foot, it even makes him misplace passes, it seriously for me destroys the card in competative game modes it makes him unplayable for me. I got him and Lukaku as my two untradeables and they will both be going.
