Player Review
91 - Icon
Decided to grab this man in icon swaps, because his base card stats looked decent and an Engine chem style would help with pace and balance. Now I don't know if it's because of his positioning, 3* skills or that I just flat out don't like him, but he couldn't seem to perform regularly for me. He was played at CAM in a 4231, surrounded by Maeda at ST and Nakajima and Quaresma at LAM and RAM respectively, but sometimes switched him to ST due to a few recommendations. Very often I noticed how passive he is on come back on defence instructions at CAM, but when he did come back, he would NEVER sprint to counter for me. The shooting is great, passing was perfect, pace is okay, dribbling is a 50/50 gamble and his physical produced moments where he would get tackled without an opponent touching him or the ball. He sort of just ran away scared. Decided to get my 87 IF Bruno Fernandes back. Might give him a second chance later on ...
-Great shooting (if you could ever find him in a shooting position)
-Pinpoint passing at all ranges
-4* weak foot is decent
-Chemistry links (like any other icon)
-Dribbling was a game of chance, sometimes produced the greatest touches I've ever seen, sometimes has the touch of a rapist...
-Physical is non-existent
-3* skills
-Positioning was SUPER INCONSISTENT
-Horrible haircut
