Player Review
89 - Icon
I should start by warning I am a huge arsenal fan, the current players are OK but this card looked special. That's the whole reason I chose this card for my swap! I thought he looked fun, his stats with an engine are incredible but I was worried he would feel sluggish and unresponsive. He doesn't! Honestly right now he is my favorite striker, so lets get into the details.
I play him at Left Striker beside Reus in a Bundesliga team.
I will return in a week or two after a WL run with him and update you on his ability there.
Shooting - Left foot, right foot and headers! This cards shooting in and around the box is incredible. Even when I think I have hit the post or it's going wide it creeps in.
Dribbling - With an engine Wrighty is incredible with the ball at his feet, he dribbles like Henry and that is impressive. (I have Reus beside him and this card blows Reus out of the water.)
Pace - 94 with an engine is great! And it will be until at least January. He will likely be a starter for me until March possibly longer depending on how poor my luck is.
Physical - Stamina to last into extra time and decent other physical stats for a short fast striker. To note his jumping seems better than card value, this card is oddly great at winning headers under challenge.
Passing - His passing stats are fairly poor. His link up play can be a problem sometimes so keep it simple and let him make the final runs!
Skill moves - I am not much of a skiller but sometimes you wish you could be that little more flamboyant, but in honesty 3* is OK for this year.
Work rate - I prefer H/M strikers to be honest. They seem that much more willing to run behind and win the ball. That being said this card is still my favourite striker this year so it's not much of a problem, but he would be noticeably better with it.
Defense - He tends to stay my player up from corners, but his ability to win headers in the opponents box doesn't translate to defensive help.
