Player Review
86 - OTW
I got this card from my free OTW pack for buying the game. I was a bit disappointed but I always gravitate towards the Bundesliga and Using hazards IF's last year he was fun. I played the 'base' hazard at middle cam in a 4-2-3-1 and he was good. He scored a decent amount. As times changed he now plays as a RM in the squad mentioned. He isn't as involved with the play as he was, but he is still a joy to use. What he lacks for in pace he makes up for with great dribbling and pinpoint passes! Who knows a couple more informs and maybe I can change him to boost speed more for an even better result. If it happens I will update this review.
Dribbling - The most interesting thing about this card is his dribbling. If you dribble without sprinting you can weave through players even when they are jockying which is very enjoyable. He has decent pace so you can accelerate away while they turn after so he works really well. Just don't expect 50 yard runs down the wing.
Passing - This cards passing is incredible. Crossing is fantastic, short and long passing range is pinpoint. Fantastic!
Pace - As I said don't expect to run in behind to chase a through ball, especially if a Mandy or Roberto Carlos is waiting. Bur short bursts this card has very decent pace at its 84 version. Especially with the small boost from engine.
Shooting - At middle cam the base card scored all kinds of goals, but neat finishes, he didn't have the power of some. he isn't perfect but he will score a decent number of goals. After the upgrade it seems he has more of a tendency to score with power and can still be neat. To be elite he needs a boost, until he is an 86 at least though you are better with the engine.
Defending - I like my RM and LM to help defend in a 4-4-2 sometimes. He does this job well enough, especially when his RB is Mbabu its fine!
Physical - Physically this card has no presence. Short, low stamina, low aggression he just simply isn't that player. He needs subbing in ET really but I tend to sub Reus and my 2 CM's, or sometimes Reus a CM and Hazard depending. If I had 4 subs though Hazard would go every time.
