This man loves goals. Scoring a goal per game for me in division 2 on rivals and weekend league, I had to make him my first review on the site. I'd been keen to try Hugo Sanchez throughout FIFA 20 but the lacking composure on his lower versions always put me off. Thankfully, his PIM price drop led to me picking him up for around 1 milliion coins (he's even cheaper now!) and using him at the forefront of a 4-2-3-1. Whilst he's not one of the finest all round striker's in the game, I'd be hard pressed to find a better finisher for the price available. Headers, volley's, finesse or outside of the boot shots, he can do it all. His left foot is like a hammer and his right isn't bad at all either, you can be confident of scoring on either. Quick, strong and possessing good movement, Sanchez is the ideal striker if you're fed up of dominating the statistics on Weekend League only to lack that player to put the ball in the net. Behind this king I used Neymar, Messi and Di Maria and they all complimented him well, able to make runs off his body as he holds it up. I had great fun with this card and it far surpassed the likes of Butragueno (prime) and Dalglish (mid) in terms of finishing. If you rely on your striker to do more than be quick and able to finish, I'd consider one of the aforementioned strikers due to their 5* weak foot giving them improved creativity. However, for a man to put the finishing strike to your attacking moves, Hugo Sanchez PIM is a great choice.
The main pro is his finishing. Lethal from any angle, he makes full use of the near post overpowered nature to the game. Sanchez is also quick, agile and strong.
If cramped for space in the box with few attacking options around him, Sanchez can struggle to make chances for himself. To get the best out of him, it's important to use nimble creative players around him. Whilst the likes of Neymar and Messi are obvious picks, good budget choices may be screm Bernard or Lorenzo Insigne.
