Player Review
89 - Normal
I bought Harry Kane early into FIFA before its official release for around 82,000 coins. It has literally been my best decision in any FIFA ever. Harry Kane is unreal this year, a game without pace being a requirement instantly had me grasping for his card. I play Harry Kane in a 4-2-4 (Great formation to try if struggling with passing play) and he is an ultimate player to hold the ball and score goals. I have Diego Costa paired up with him up front, Son and Ousmane Dembele on the wings yet the performance of Kane is immense compared to these three. I am only writing this review because this is the first time I have had a positive online record in FIFA in multiple years and its all due to how amazing Kane performs.
Harry's shot. Unbelievable. 94 base finishing. That explains his shooting perfectly. Personally I don't shoot a lot of long shots, I mostly shoot in the box and conservatively not trying the crazy top bins banger; yet Kane is sensational in the few long shots I have attempted. In the box Kane is a Monster. His shot is perfection, literally the amount of times Kane has hit a clutch shot to get me a division rival game is ridiculous. His weak foot is 4 Stars yet you do not notice it at all. Any angle, anywhere in the box, Kane can score. Not only this but his headers are superb. All throughout FIFA 18 I would go short corner after short and I believed you could rarely score headers off corners, yet this year Harry has scored probably 20 goals off of corners out of his 50 for me. Ridiculous heading, I only aim towards Kane and if he can get contact he will score every other header, maybe even 2 out of 3.
Harry's pace, is not that bad. I use marksman on Kane and do not upgrade his pace at all because it is just simply not needed. For my tactics and my passing/hold up play style he has never had a pace problem. My formation does utilize two strikers so I usually do not go for that one through ball to send Kane through yet occasionally when I do Kane does not disappoint. Maybe I would up his pace in a solo striker formation but with two strikers I have never complained.
Harry's physicality. Honestly his physicality is good, not ridiculous, but good. You get what you expect with his 84 base physicality (89 w/ Marksman,) you will win some fights with defenders, but not all the time. Do not expect to out strength everyone but usually any full back is no challenge for Kane and he wins more fights than he looses otherwise. His physicality really stands out in his heading and jumping. His jumping seems low for 78 (88 w/ Marksman) yet as a 6'2" player he wins a Ridiculous amount of headers. It is a great feeling to boot the ball out and have a good chance that he can win the header against the defender and start an attacking play.
Harry's Positioning. The biggest standout to me for this card is his positioning. Literally always there for you. He is like a supportive sibling or something this guy just will always be at the end of a cross or pass. He just outscores and outshines any other card in my team because of this. This eliminates the pace problem for me, elevates his jumping and shooting, and just makes him so reliable and consistent. It was literally impossible for me not to love this card. This is probably my favorite card I have used since 86 Orange Sonaldo. Just out of this world. Not only attacking but with his High defensive work rate (again works well for my play style and formation) Harry makes SO many interceptions and recoveries from giving the ball away elsewhere. This is a huge cause of a lot of his goals too. His reactions to get a ball back and start up an attack are top of the line.
Overall amazing. I would seriously recommend trying if you love build up play and an absolute beast finisher and/or header. Some other key things about Kane is his high stamina, passing being way better than IG stats imply, Volleys (since bicycle kicks and such are just everywhere nowadays,) and decent ball control for what used to be a heavy-lanky player. I bought for a cheap price since I was early to the market and grinded Sbc's in the web app, If you have the coins for sure try this card!
