Player Review
87 - Icon
Finally it's time for my second review. Today it's about ADP10, who shot me this weekend league to Elite.
Mostly I played him together with GOAT Messi as a striker, while Mbappe and Neymar played on the wings in 4-4-2 or 4-2-2-2 (see Squad-URL).
With the purchase of ADP10 I could finally get rid of my handicap untrade OTW Griezman, who didn't fit into my system either as a striker or on the wings with his 3*WF and too low speed. Since I decided to let Mbappe play on the wing with Deadeye and get a striker with 5*WF, the choice fell relatively quickly on ADP10, because I also have an emotional connection with him (RIP Germany World Cup 2006).
After a few rival matches to play with ADP10, I started directly into the WL and dominated the first games without any problems. ADP10 was not completely innocent because he didn't miss any chances and scored the goals. It was a simple procedure: Pass to ADP10 at the penalty area line, use Drag-Bags and L1-Dribbling to find the gap and finish with either his left or right foot. Playing him with Hunter, he is also the man for the conter-attacks.
He feels as fast and agile as Messi (with Hunter). He also has an excellent passing, making unnecessary miss passes in the attack a thing of the past. With 88 stamina, he still runs in full sprint from the middle line to the penalty area even in extra time.
But every player also has his disadvantages, like ADP10. First of all, his low strength causes him to be pushed relatively easily by the ball. In addition he has only 72 balance, which also affects his duel behaviour. Stumblers and other dropouts are to be expected after duels with opposing defenders. Therefore you have to play around his weaknesses by using his excellent dribbling and playing around the defenders.
The biggest advantage of ADP10, however, remains his finishing. While I've failed the last weekend leagues too often at Ter-Stegen, ADP10 is the weapon against him. Even if Ter-Stegen often touches the ball, he can't defend it and the ball always lands in the goal.
To conclude the review, a comparison is made between him and Son/Ben Yedder, who have similar stats. ADP10 has the better work rates with high/medium, more stamina and the icon bonus that makes it easy to link into the team. Son and Ben Yedder are absolute meta-players and accordingly strong, but ADP10 is even better. If you have the money left, consider buying ADP10 and trying him out. The next icon alternatives with 5*WF would be Dalglish and R9, which would be even more expensive.
I hope you enjoyed the review.
