Player Review

Assist King
By wasteman204, 29-05-2020

Okay so I got Ilicic in my red picks and originally was hesitant to use him because I already had RB Aguero (who is my favorite player). I decided to give him a go in my squad as a Target Man with the Hawk chem style to facilitate Litmanen and Lewandowski. I switch to a 5-2-1-2 formation in-game and play Lewandowski as a Get In Behind striker. After a few matches of rivals I could not believe how useful he is as a facilitator. In 6 games started he had 5 goals and 8 assists. I am not a very proficient dribbler in-game by any means so when this guy gets the ball, his ability to hold up and through pass between defenders is sublime. I also don't find his low balance stat or his 4-star skill moves to be a problem as his stats are more suited to my play-style.

-Pace is incredible for such a tall "cumbersome" player

-His passing is some of the best I've seen; he manages to connect through-balls to pretty much anyone

-Strength allows him to maintain control of the ball in high-press scenarios

-His positioning off the ball often puts him directly in front of the net to score a tap in

-Value



-Poor meta stats: If you only care about skills and balance he won't be your favorite

-Links: Unless you are using an all Serie A squad or have a solid legend in the midfield you have very few options

-Name: People may not know him as well as some, but this card mimics his play in real life perfectly

If you can link Him, go get him

So this is my first review of a Player so i try my best to not trigger anybody ;-)I buy him because of his incredible good Money/stat value for a Striker with good Traits and for the completion of Joao Pedro. My gameplay-style is more of an safety-Passing and waiting for the right moment and therefore i need a allrounded Striker in front and oh boy did he fill this position well. For me he is a mix of Ibra...

Close, but not good enough (89 UPDATE!!)

Packed him right after his hat trick, so I figured I'd keep him over the weekend and try him out. I don't mind "off-meta" players, so trying him in WL wasn't an issue for me, and his stats looked pretty good. I thought this card had hidden gem potential. ...he's okay, but that's about it. There are a few things that REALLY hamper this card from being a truly elite one. He has very obvious pros and cons...

NOT META, BUT GOOD

I was waiting for Headliner Lautaro Martinez and I sold 91 Hazard(i was playing him as a CAM in 4231) and I've needed a ST for WL. I started searching and I saw him. First I thought that he would be bad because of his pace, agility and balance. But I've needed a tall striker with some physical and I bought him for 61K. And in the first match he impressed me. He scored 2 goals and made 1 as...
