Player Review
84 - UEL LIVE SBC
Well, where do i start? Bolasie has always been one of those cards that attracted me for some reason. Hes tal, fast and surprisingly agile. Sadly his shooting was never the best. When i saw this card coming out, i instantly did him. In the worst case i would have spent 3K (got some untradeables) for some good memories and maybe even upcoming icon swap challenges. Luckily i also just had enough coins for baby Dalglish, so i completely rebuilt my team. Thats the reason for my bad team atm because all players are untradeables besides King Kenny. In the future i plan to place an Icon from icon swaps where Tolisso plays, and then play either Corona/Luis Rodriguez or Salah/IF Walker on the right, while up front ill play TOTGS Martinez and Scream Sabitzer in the middle.
In my first game i brought Bolasie on in the first minute and i was like: Wow, this guy is actually playable. So after changing my team around i startes him for the upcoming 3 games. I applied the sniper chem on him, mainly to boost his agility, but it also synergizes really well with his shooting stats, while also boosting his reactions and composure. I played him up front besides Kenny, and he completely outshined him. He didnt feel like a winger, this guy was the ultimate poacher. He was strong in the build up play, because its incredibly hard to get the ball away from him because of his dribbling and his big body. And then all of a sudden, he started a perfect run where you just had to play a through ball and he would finish it 9 out of 10 times. I just played 4 games with him because ill go to spain now and wont be able to play for 2 weeks and i just wanted to let you guys know how good he is, as long as the sbc is still available. If youd like it, i can write a more detailed review in a couple of weeks.
He even made 2 players ragequit in the first half (otherwise he would have probaly scored even more). And just imagine how he will play like if sporting just get through one stage more!
Cheers for reading and enjoy christmas time!
Pace: even without a boost, he had just enough pace to penetrate the defense time and time again. I think 88 acceleration and 94 sprint speed is just enough in this years fifa.
Finishing: his weak foot felt like a 5*. I think i scored 3 with his left and 3 with his right. He didnt score fancy goals, he just banged the into the back of the net. His 91 positioning, 95 finishing, 97 shot power and 88 composure really did the job there.
Dribbling combined with physicality: I honestly think that this guy is one the best players when it comes to that combination. He can push off defenders with 86 strength and 84 aggression (and hes 6'2"!), while keeping the ball at his feet with 99 dribbling and 95 ball control.
Agility: His agility needs to be boosted, but with sniper he gets to 92, where he actually felt quite smooth for such a tall guy.
Curved shots: Was probably his biggest con. With sniper (which i think you need) you cant boost his curved shots. He actually missed some quite good chances from the edge of the box. But sometimes you can just dribble your way through and smash it in.
