Player Review
95 - TOTS
I bought him because I needed a PL striker for less than 850k. Played him next to 90 Kenny Dalglish in a 4-2-2-2. 28 games, 34 goals, 21 assists. All from WL. He might be the best striker I've used this year. He helped me to another Gold 1 finish (20-8), so I'm not the best player in the world, but he still banged in goals.
First of all, his pace is obviously amazing. 99 acceleration and sprint speed with an engine. And you can feel that. With 95 agility and 94 stamina, he's gets away from every defender, and he does it all game, even in extra time.
96 shooting, but more like 99, because he's got 99 att. position, finishing and shot power, which are the most important shooting stats for a striker. Along with 99 composure, he almost never misses.
His passing is a huge upgrade from his normal card. 99 vision, 96 crossing and 94 short passing is more than good enough.
Dribbling is also a huge upgrade. 95 agility, 99 balance, 99 reactions, 97 ball control, 99 dribbling. He is really good at left stick dribbling, and he can easily out-dribble a defender.
81 strenght is good enough, and 99 aggression is amazing.
3 star skill moves is an obvious con, but I'm not a skiller, so I didn't really notice it. 4 star weak foot is good, but I would have preferred a player with 5 star weak foot.
His lack of traits is a con as well. A finesse shot trait would have been nice, or an outside foot shot would have been amazing.
