Player Review
92 - Icon
I saw how cheap this card was for a PIM, and I quickly sold messi and neymar to afford him for 1.5 million with an ENGINE chem style. I ended up slotting him in a makeshift team that saw him play ST in a 4-2-3-1 with that new Quaresema playing CCAM. While my team definitely felt worse after getting rid of neymar and messi, I ended up winning the majority of my games strictly due to Hernandez. He has a unique feeling that only a certain type of player has every year in FIFA, the feeling that hes just going to go through every player without really doing anything, he just sort of glides through CBs.
Pace 10/10: I am always the first person to complain about a player not living up to his face stats, however, Hernandez feels like Mbappe felt during the first couple of weeks of FIFA. There is not one game where he isnt the fastest player on the field.
Shooting 8/10: This is the weirdest stat. I usually consider myself a good finisher, however with Hernandez he takes I would say on average around 10 shots to score 6 goals opposed to a Messi or Ronaldo who would take the same 10 shots and score around 8. This is partly due to the 3-star weak foot which isn't great but also that his shooting just feels weird. I would maybe recommend using a shooting chem style on him. However, his POSITIONING is the easiest 10/10 I have ever seen. Those shooting ratios arent bad when he is legitimately putting up 10 shots a game with breakaways.
Dribbling 10/10: GLIDES. Maybe missing 5 star skills, but other than that he just glides through everyone. Honestly a faster Messi.
Passing 8/10: Not great, 3 star weak foot hurts him here more than in shooting I would say. It definitely needs a chemistry boost.
Defending: High stamina so there's that.
Physicality 9.5/10: Great stamina, the first player to score consistent headers beside Ronaldo and good strength compared to his dribbling and pace feels. Never gets bullied off the ball.
FAST
I kid you not, the type of player to maybe have 8 shots a game with 4 goals
Consistently great
Great hair-headband combo
So cheap for a PIM icon ST
FINISHING
