Player Review
91 - Icon
I'm a Div 3, Gold 1 player, and I was waiting on a "cheap," beast, Icon ST available to do as an SBC. As soon as I saw Owen, I knew I had to do it. I have played 33 matches (3 Div 3, 30 WL, Gold 1 finish) so far with him, and he has 41 goals, 11 assists (23 wins out of 33 games).
I have 2 big negatives, one being that his passing sucks very bad. I play him as a lone ST and in a 2 ST formation, and it sometimes causes me to lose the ball, even from a short pass. Also, I am an above average skiller and his 3 SM is not appreciated. With his 88 dribbling, the card is still fun, but feels limited. A smaller negative is his heading. He has double 84's, but you will barely win any headers as he is only 5'8. I'm only stating this because he has high jumping/heading stats and it may deceive people.
Now, talking about the positives, his 4 WF sometimes feels like 5. While his 67 PHY is a low number, especially for a 5'8 player, I don't notice it that much because "stronger," taller players get bodied as well. It is not a big issue for this card. His high dribbling makes it easier to get pass opponents without doing fancy skills. His shooting of course, is very good. And if you were looking for a an Icon or just a ST that can last all game, then Owen will work. He can last all game (Stamina is 80).
Only reason I am giving this card 4 stars is because of his horrible passing. Otherwise I'd give it 5 stars, as it is an easy player to use.
