Player Review
94 - TOTS
I was really intrigued to try this Dybala TOTSSF. The WF boost to 4 star, the really well-rounded stats for a midfielder and having packed Gomez in my red picks this week, I thought I would make use of the strong link and try out Dybala. Besides, he's one of my favourite players IRL. This card though has serious problems. The workrates of Med/Med mean he doesn't make runs in behind, even if you tell him with instructions. His finesse shots are a myth. I ping beautiful finesses cutting in from RAM and the keeper always seems to get a glove on them. He doesn't feel as agile as you would hope either. Don't get me wrong, he's still a good card, but he's a real letdown of a TOTS card. He seems to be dividing the community atm, so maybe try him out when his price continues to drop this week (Ultimate TOTS incoming might cause more a drop plus WL sell off). For me though, this card was a fraud.
Decent shooting inside the box for a player who doesn't have 5 star weak foot - might be the Outside the Foot Shot trait coming in clutch
Decent Physical presence for a wide CAM/Second striker
Great set pieces - 99 Free Kick accuracy is definitely noticeable IG
Work rates and aggression - doesn't just 'go missing in games', but enforces strict social distancing rules with the play - ruins the card quite frankly
Finesse shots were disappointing, expected more given the trait, and his past iterations cutting in from the right hand side
Price - it's coming down now though. Even when expensive looked reasonable price given the stats, the potential links to CR7, Messi etc. and the fact its a 4 star WF Dybala. Plays in game like a 300-350k player in all honesty.
Might seem like an odd con, given the WF upgrade but no 5 star WF. With the workrates, he sucks out wide and if you play him central without the 5 star WF, he really is missing something. Gold Neymar plays infinitely better for me tbh.
