Player Review
90 - FUT Birthday
So. This bloke is the nuts. I'm not an amazing player but get drawn in way too deep with this stupid game. I was fortunate enough to pack him in the FUT Birthday Party SBC thing.
Basics:
- I play him as ST in 4-5-1
- Chem Style - Engine
- Instructions - Drift Wide, Get in Behind and Stay Forward
- The product of Son & Ben Yedde
- He's boss
He's 5'9 and fits the meta of being agile, well balanced and mobile to counter stronger built players.He rides challenges like a young gazelle being hunted by a pride of Lions (Gazellette?). He's able to get well in front of his man to receive the ball and very often pulls off those last minute passes round the corner which kind of look like tackles.
His touch is an absolute joy, the ball is on a string when using L1/LT. I have SS Richarlison with Engine who basically punts it off every angle of his shin in comparison to big boy Alex. His attacking movement is so smart. With Drift Wide, he starts his run centrally then peels off in between the fullback & centreback. He's literally always there for pull backs and rebounds due to his decent positioning.
Pace - you don't need to put Hunter on him. Please don't. I massively recommend Engine so he has a better chance against your Van Dijks. Varanes, Ferdinands etc. His acceleration is deceptively good so don't worry about it. His timing of runs is that good it doesn't matter. Make sure you have a decent CAM who can thread him passes.
Now his finishing...mate his finishing.....
With the upgraded 5* weakfoot he's just an absolute titan. Fizz it into him anywhere in the 18yd box and he'll set himself up perfectly to thunder it in the near post. R1/RT dragbacks are obviously sweaty but unsurprisingly he does this well too. Scroll the ball to the side a little to make an angle and always, always go near post - goal,
Finishing with either foot obviously ridiculous. Dribbling and riding challenges. Quick off the mark with Engine.
Hahaha invalid.
Although do appreciate he is somewhat expensive and we'd all love 99 Strength
