Player Review
97 - TOTS
I was very lucky in getting Luis Suarez from my LaLiga red player picks from Gold 2 rewards. I was excited to start playing with him. I thought about using an engine or catalyst on him, but I opted for a hunter chemistry style. Partly because I had an untradeable one in my club and his pace and long shots needed boosting. I have used him in every Weekend League since LaLiga TOTSSF. I can't recommend him enough! He scores in every single game I play. He links up with my wide CAMs, TOTSSF Gnabry and Atal very well, and has a great partnership with Mid Eusebio at CAM.
It is best to keep Suarez central. I would recommend you play him in the Striker position. His shooting is lethal off both feet. He can score from almost any angle too. His dribbling and physicality helps him get past most defenders with relative ease, aided by the pace boost from the hunter chemistry style. Sometimes he can feel slightly clunky, but so can the likes of Ronaldo and Lewandowski. As i said, Suarez's pace is good too. However, he struggles when coming up against centre backs with high pace. E.g. Varane, van Dijk, Upamecano, Ramos. Still, I believe he is on par, if not, better than Prime R9!
The main downside to Suarez is that he gets tired very easily. He is effective for the first 60/65 minutes of Weekend League but I always sub him of around the 70th minute mark for Flashback Mertens or TOTSSF Rashford. Skills aren't a big factor in my game but for a lot of people they are, which is why some people are reluctant to buy Suarez because of the 3 star week foot. Believe me, it doesn't matter. With Suarez, you don't need the skills!
