Player Review
92 - TOTS
Well, i'm building a Saudi hybrid and wanted to try out this absolute beast of a card. Despite his 3*/3*, his really good looking stats got me hyped to try him in a few games, to be the one that'll replace the absolute beast that is my niakaté sbc ( shit card on paper, not on the field ), who's starting to feel a little outdated, now that tots is out.
I got him for 90K, put him as a striker next to my attal shapeshifter, got him pumped with an engine and started some rivals (played with him on thursday, cant test him in WL).
Huge deception. He felt kinda clunky, despite his wonderful dribbling stats. His 1st touch is'nt great at all. He's strenght is'nt showing that much, got bodied easily.
And his pace was a huge let down. I aint a pace whore, but i couldn't outrun any defenders on the field, and his placement, being not that great, didn't help neither.
One thing i noticed otherwise was his great passing capabilities,
That's why after a few games of 442, i ran a 41212 narrow with him as a number 10, attal and romarinho upfront.
Things started to get much better, His dribbling ain't that bad, but to easily pass a defense with a 3* skiller, you need as much responsivness as you can have, and Hamdallah ( spelled Hamedallah in game gg ea ) is'nt one of those players.
His shooting stats looks amazing. The 3* wf ain't that much of a problem with the outside foot shoot trait. He did scored some bangers for me, but also missed really easy goal, either in one vs one situations and a few easy volley.
That's why i decided to sell him after a few matches (10m/14g/a7), i wont say he is a bad player but was expecting so much more from this card, while looking at the stats.
Giovinco is just miles ahead from him, and Romarinho, despite having clear weakness, is a much more enjoyable / meta player.
- Passing
- Stamina
- Don't play as the stats
- Dribbling kinda meh, first touch ain't great
- Shooting ain't constant
