Player Review
88 - Icon
This man was my dream. I used to pick him on my team in Fifa 07. So I’m going to write reviews on players in my current team, which I am very happy about. I want to give people an honest review without saying “he is a god, will score any shot and will dribble past anyone, best player in the game OMG”. So without further ado here is my review.
Pace: Here you have 2 options: Either give him an HAWK or something without pace and then he is more of a number 9 who can hold the ball etc. However if you give him a HUNTER card. His pace goes to 94. Which is a good number to give him some through balls. He can outrun a few defenders and combined with his standard strength he can stand his ground. So depends how you wanna use him!
Shooting: This is this cards specialty. As I was saying I don’t wanna overhype anything. But the main thing about the card is the shooting. His timed finesse is out of this world. If you get him to his right foot outside the box and you time well. It’s a goal probably 8/10 times. His shooting is really good. Not just the finesse but also just the straight line shooting, which well I wouldn’t want to be the keeper receiving that shot. Combine this with his amazing positioning and well he just bags goals that’s it.
Dribbling: This is where I think this card lacks, this is after all an honest review. He is kind of cluncky, turning and spinning is not his thing. He can dribble in a straight line, but mostly you want to avoid doing Messi things with this man. Just pass him the frickin ball on the edge of the box and let the shooting do the work, get someone else to do the dribbling for him.
Passing: I don’t have a lot to say about his passing. His passing is okay, now and then he gives a great pass, because of his curve, but overall he can pass a ball into your feet and its fine.
Physicality: So this is another good point. No matter which chem style you give him, he will always have quite a bit of physicality. Combine this with his character being a bit buff and clunky and he can actually hold off quite a few defenders. Also he can head the ball pretty well and scores quite a few headers. The accuracy of his headers are good and he is pretty good in the air too.
Overall I would obviously recommend this guy if you like using finesse shots, because he will score them. He is in the right place of lot of the time and he is just a really good striker. Combine him with somebody that can dribble and pass the ball very good to him and you are set!
