Player Review
89 -
Aight so i'm writting this review for those that are confused wether or not they should pick him. I have tried both Belotti (on my friends account) and Fred (on my own account) and fred is much better. Belotti feels stiff and if you want a striker much better (best striker imo) then just buy 93 Lewandowski. Fred is amazing and i used him with the anchor chem style. He plays like Kante but much more enjoyable and he moves around the pitch much quicker than kante. His tackles are amazing but not as strong or agressive as i hoped which is probably because he is so quick to get to his opponents that he simply taps the ball and gets it. His finishing is UNREAL together with his dribbling which is AMAZING. Mans responsive but if you want to maximize it you can hus the engine chem style but i would recommend it. He's a very god all around CM. His finesse is amazing. the first goal i scored with him was with a header. He beat van dijk on the header. the header was so high and accurate that the goalkeeper couldn't reach it and then went in. Second goal in the same match he scored a long shot after a turnaround but because of his good dribbling his finishing and shot power is not affected by the turn around. the third goal which was also in the same match was with a long shot finesse from the middle. His passing is also UNREAL. He pairs perfectly as a CM with my 93 ST Lewandowski. Also i find the 93 Lewandowski better than the 94 for some reason.
BELIEVE ME when i tell you that i did not force feed him because i was in weekend league. he was all around the place and his positioning made my play so much more smooth. i am now a div 2 player and got my first 30-0 as i usually give wins for free when i hit elite 1 but because i enjoyed fred so much i just needed to do something remarkable. I might actually use him as a starter.
Also because of my team being kind of unfit for div 2 and 30-0 rank it's because i prefer af fun and enjoyable team rather than an expensive all icon and toty team. I have 4,3 mil on the account and i usually do drafts and buy players overpriced for other people to get some coins.
Shooting
Defense
Speed
Passing
Stamina (perfect for cm)
Dribbling
4* 4*
Balance (97 rated means when he tackles he will quickly get ready to run if he doesn't succeed and he won't get stuck in weird animations after an unsuccessful tackle)
+5 acceleration over sprint speed meaning he will feel quicker and change direction much quicker under defense and with the ball.
Physical but i haven't had the chance to evaluate properly as he get's the ball before he even needs to use his physique BUT with the ball i easily notice he fights for containing the ball
