Player Review
85 - IF
I needed a last minute weekend Prem LB, so got his gold card with Shadow. He was solid, but was sliding too much when fast jockeying. I started 4-1, then started playing some strong competition so figured, empty half my account and try out this card. The reviews/comments were nearly all very positive, so ponied up $70k w/ a Shadow...
He was amazing! Idk what it is, but 2 point differences don't seem like much considering how much a chem style boosts, but there's something there that significantly tightened up his movement and ball stealing.
His price is dropping more, so I can't recommend him enough, especially with the French connection. With the bad market, I like having a flexible player.
Note: I haven't used any of Robertson's cards, though, and his new TOTY is only a little more expensive. I'm curious with similar stats, what that High/High looks like in game so may give him a shot.
- Fast and tight with a Shadow chem style
- Strong enough considering wingers tend to be weak
- Real good in attack! He flies up the field and controls the ball plenty good along with solid passing. Just make sure you have a face left CB and a drop back CDM.
- Significant upgrade to his gold card in how he feels. Those small point boosts add up this year.
- He LOVES Attacking! If you don't tell him to stay back, he is on the move...there's no "balanced attack" with him. This can be a pain, cause it drains stamina and leaves his side wide open, so plan for this. It can score you a lot of goals and wreck havoc, but it'd be nice to have a hot button like in Madden, where you can change the instructions on a player without pausing. Yes, L1 can trigger him, but that sets off everyone around you...then "fullbacks attack" leaves both sides vulnerable and the announcer makes sure the world knows this ha.
- Stamina if he is set on Balanced or Attack. You will need a sub for him. I have him set to stay back on Defensive, and Balanced on Attack to offset this. He is lockdown, when set to stay back, so prefer him back there if I can score without him.
- Needs Shadow aka lack of pace, so spend the extra few thousand to buy him with a Shadow. Even if you pack him Tradeable you may want to sell him and buy a shadow version. He needs the pace.
