91 - SIF
4.0
Not meta... but a solid striker nonetheless
By njw97, 26-11-2019

I got Kane in my red picks and despite being disappointed it wasn't CR7 or Hazard, I was still grateful for a 91 rated card with brilliant shooting, passing and physicals.


I initially made him play CAM in a 4231, but his agility and balance lets him down here. Although he can ping a nice diagonal pass to the RAM and LAM's, he didn't have that close control or pace needed to escape the wrath of Prime Moments Moussa Sissoko, even with an engine chem style. His main attribute as a CAM was his deadly finesse shots outside of the box, which saved me a couple of times in the Weekend League against the drop back abusers.


But as a fan of the man himself (despite not squaring it to Sterling in the WC semi-final for 2-0) I knew I had to try him at ST. This is where his hold up play excels into a class of its own. I don't know what it is about Kane, but he is built like an absolute unit in game despite not being that bulky irl. It was great knowing I could play him into feet and he would hold off pretty much any CB, except Van Dijk but that goes without saying.


The disappointing part was once he laid off a pass to Mahrez in CAM, who then put him through on goal, he didn't have the pace to break away from defenders and because of the relatively low balance could get pushed off easily by big center backs. When you got a clean strike with him though, the ball would usually fly pat the helpless keeper into the net thanks to his insane shot power and finishing. Again, he also could provide a lot of assists to players around him and you knew that a through pass with either foot would find his teammates perfectly.


Overall I would definitely recommend him if you don't rely on the pace/dribbling meta. It definitely felt more rewarding to score with him than other players because you don't see him much in squads and the way he can blast the ball is something special.



  • Shooting - especially the finesse just outside the box
  • Shot power
  • Passing and vision
  • Strength and hold up play
  • Hyperlink to scream Alli (insane B2B CM)
  • Great ball control
  • Stamina
  • Clunky when dribbling
  • 3 star skills
  • Balance
  • Heading (but literally every player is bad at this in FIFA 20)
  • Work rates mean he can defend too much and worsens positioning imo

The highest rated Kane there's gonna be this seaso

Once Kane hit the 80 pace mark, I thought "why not give him a go?". I bought him with a hunter style, and although I was tempted to put an engine on him I was reluctant to ditch a chem style that costs so much. I honestly don't notice that his balance is a bit lower and I'm glad I've been able to have the extra pace for him. He is strong, tall, and to be honest with his dribbling stats as they are they're pretty decent for ...

Leader!

got him in the unsalable premium gold player pack. At first I didn't want to use it, and I was thinking about using it for SBC. But then I decided to play CAM by giving him motor chemistry. The result was truly amazing. It doesn't feel cumbersome according to its physics, and 80 agility seems to be enough with motor chemistry. Don't worry if your speed seems inadequate. Agility and dribbling fill this gap. I made 42 games w...
