Player Review
93 - Summer Heat SBC
For a summary look at pros / cons section. Now I will describe a bit longer how I feel about him. Where do I start with this card? There are no words to describe how good of a card he is. I've tried so many strikers lately, and he is easily the best one. I call him the Italian Mad Lad. When you look at his face card stats, he looks insane. You look at his in-depth stats, and it's the same thing, he looks CRACKED. I put an engine on him (suggest you do the same) , as it is the best chemistry style to use on him. DO ANYTHING YOU WANT, BUT DON'T BOOST HIS SHOOTING, HE DOESN'T NEED IT. This guy is the best goalscorer / finisher I have used in this game. Combine that with the 5* WF that he has, and he finishes EVERYTHING. As soon as you shoot the ball towards the goal, you can already start thinking about what celebration you will do, he isn't going to miss. His pace with engine is really good - not Adama or Dan James speed, but still rapid as hell. Dribbling is surprisingly good - don't avoid this card because of his body type or his height / weight. He feels very agile, moves quickly with the ball, keeps it close to his feet, and even at times, the ball 'sticks' to him - he just doesn't lose it. He only has 3* SM, but that isn't a downside in my eyes, as I'm not much of a skiller. He executes the 3* and below skills with ease - heel to heels are responsive, he can even do drag backs quickly, if you are into that sort of a thing. His passing isn't as bad as you might think. He can easily do the 1-2 passes, through balls, even some over-the-top passes too. Wouldn't recommend him at CAM though, he is purely a ST. Physical stats for days - stamina to last the whole 120 minutes if needed, strength to body off defenders, he can even score you some headers if needed. His aggression is really nice, he fights for the ball, doesn't give up after losing it. Such a great card for the value. If you can link him in your team, DO IT. Don't do him if you will keep him on the bench, he will get wasted there. I suggest you link him up with his buddy Simone Verdi - they do wonders together at CAM-ST. Hopefully you enjoyed my little review.
BASED ON USING HIM WITH ENGINE AT STRIKER.
Pace - 9.5/10, he is rapid, but not TOTS Adama or Dan James rapid.
Shooting - 10/10, best finisher I've ever used. Finishes everything in front of goal. 5* WF does wonders.
Passing - 7.5/10, has no problems doing 1-2 passes, through balls, over the top passes. Struggles with longer passes, but that was expected.
Dribbling - 9/10, he isn't no Messi or Neymar, but man, he is really good. Agile, keeps the ball close, doesn't lose the ball, hard to push him off the ball.
Defending - ?/10, don't use him at CB fam.
Physicality - 10/10, has no downside. Incredible strength to shield the ball / push off defenders. Stamina to last the whole game, can win headers, fights for the ball because of the aggression.
For some - 3* SM, height, body type.
For me - nothing.
