Player Review
92 - Icon
I did the SBC for big Al thinking that his 98 shooting would be a game changer and he could lead my attack on his own, and he offers wonderful positives and painful negatives. I put an engine chem on him to try to balance his weaknesses and honestly it feels no different, hes simply only good as an in the box chance taker, and if you try anything else prepare to be disappointed. Overall, if I could have the coins and players back I used to get him, I would. He cost around 900k to do and I'm positive there would be better performing players out there for half that price.
• Fabulous at shooting in the box with 99 finishing and 99 shot power, it's very noticeable. Even under defensive duress, he'll score far more than miss or draw a save
• If you can get the ball on his head at corners, 99% of the time you've scored. Best player I've seen in this regard
• Stamina is very good, never needs to be subbed
• The big stand out negative which will be a killer for some players, he is HORRENDOUS with the ball at his feet. His passing is below par and honestly don't bother dribbling with him, he moves like a fridge with the ball.
• Very frustrating this, hes a player that's so good at heading the ball, but never gets in position, always lurks outside the box
• Is a lot worse physically than his stats would have you think, quite poor at bumping off defenders and holding the ball. Honestly his 90 strength feels more like 70.
• Shooting is noticeably poorer on his weak foot.
