Review:
So I sold my account and started over. Which allowed me to try out a bunch of cards I would have never touched with my old 22m team. One of these cards was Martinez TOTGS. He came on my radar when he scored 4 goals against me pure on his own class. So when the time came that I was going to build a 250k squad he got a slot as my lone striker.
So let’s get into the specifics. I chose the Marksman chem style because I just love it. Boost pretty much all shooting stats evenly, gives a nice dribbling boost and a little physical, which Martinez doesn’t need. I considered the Sniper chem aswell, however the lack of a long shots boost with the Sniper chem made we go with Marksman in the end.
This card made me feel like I was using CR7 for the first time again. He’s fast, strong, has an amazing shot and overall just feels overpowered. He really brings something else. The G/A stats speak for itself. I’m never a big scorer with just one player and not many cards get more than a 1:1 ratio with me. In Fifa 19 the only ones that did were: FB Zlatan, CR7, Cruyff 95 and R9 96. But Martinez just bangs it in left, right, with the head, on the volley and once even with his back.
He’s such a strong player, but still so agile. Which made dribbing with him a lot of fun. Half the time when I executed a skill move wrong, he still muscled past the defender. His balance is a bit on the low side for me, but it wasn’t a huge drawback and I didn’t notice it a whole lot. Once he is away defenders can sometimes catch up to him, but not that many can actually get him off the ball.
What I did notice was though, was his passing. He. Can. Not. Give. A. Through. Ball. The 8 assists he gave were all clasic fifa goals 2v1 on the GK pass to the side and slot it into the empty net. For me that was a huge drawback, because I really like to involve my striker in the build up play. However I adapted my playstyle for him a bit and it paid off.
Rating: 8/10, Overall I had a whole lot of fun playing with him, but after 5 days it is time to move to a bigger budget team. I’m sad to see him go, but I can’t wait for his inevitable TOTS, which I will 100% give a run for it’s money.
Value for coins: I sniped him for 33.5k when he was 38.5k. I sold him for 31.5k and that's just too cheap for this card. You get your money's worth, 100%.
