Player Review
93 - TOTS
As I opened my guaranteed PL Pack and saw the Brazilian flag I expected the worst (Alisson), but I was pleasantly surprised when this big beast walked out and nearly started dabbing.
First of all I think its a must to put an Engine on him due to the balance, sadly the boost isn't quiet enough to make him feel really responsive.
I decided to give him a go at Striker and what can I say, he has one of the best finishes I used (including PIM Del Piero) this year. I played him in the usual 4231 at ST and I'm the type of player that tries to get by nice passing into the right spots to shoot with either of his feet (5* WF).
As a lone ST he has good movement on balanced and tried to exploit the open spaces instantly. He got 8 goals in the 5 games I played him there.
Even with the boost with Engine the balance cuts his abilities a bit as he feels stiff on the ball and takes quiet long to turn.
Physicality is great no questions asked.
Then I've decided to sell my NIF Neymar and to do the BPL 4 Player Packs and for the first time in my Fifa career EA loved my for the 500k I spent. As soon as I pulled Aguero and Mahrez there was no place for Richarlison in the middle of the park and I had to put him on LAM where he is completely useless. At ST he is very good but for any other position for me he is way to stiff. The L1 pass and go with his left foot is terrible as he has a weird animation when passing the ball with his left foot.
If you got him please only play him at ST and save yourself the time to test him out at other positions.
For the 1,8 m coins you get a great ST but he is only a finisher and not someone like Neymar that creates for his tea.
