Player Review

CHEM STYLE: Engine

POSITION: ST/CAM

PACE: He feels pretty fast, being able to out-sprint a lot of defenders with 98 acceleration and sprint speed (assuming you do put engine on him) and has 99 agility to pair up with it.

SHOOTING: With his finesse shot trait and outside foot shot trait, his shooting is absolutely lights out. You give him a good position to shoot in and with his 5* weak foot, he'll score almost every single time. What I did notice which I hope is due to the bad gameplay I was experiencing was when you shoot a finesse with his right, it feels more like a 4* weak foot as it seems to float in the air longer than expected, but otherwise his shooting qualities are amazing.

PASSING: His passing as a ST and later on I put at CAM is absolutely incredible. He somehow manages to find a way to slice a through-ball through the defenders to get the attackers a great opportunity to score. He also has the capability to ping a long-ball to someone who's making a run or a wide open player so that's another positive.

DRIBBLING: This one is probably the most surprising to me as although all of his other aspects such as the fact that he's 6'2" according to EA and his body type would say otherwise, he doesn't feel clunky. Sure, you can't do those Neymar touches that can get past a player with ease but he can definitely dribble past a player using left-stick or L1/R1 dribbling. The main issue however is his 3* skill moves can make him predictable as you can't pull off a lot of skill moves other than drag-backs, roulettes and step overs.

DEFENDING: You can definitely do basic tackles and interceptions and every now and then push over a defender but he's nothing special in this aspect.

PHYSICAL: As expected, due to his height and base stats, he feels really strong and with his dribbling capabilities, makes him a tricky player to go up against. He also has enough stamina to last a whole game for you. I do notice that even with his strength and other aspects, his low aggression can sometimes get the better of him as other players will attempt to push him off the ball a lot more than other players.

OTHER AREAS: As said before, his 3* skill moves kinda ruins the card, with a limited amount of tricks you can pull off to try and get past a player. His Medium/Medium workrates are ok however I do notice he drifts off to the wings sometimes so I'd advise you put the 'Stay Central' tactic on him. His traits are really good as you can add a lot of curl to your finesses as well as have a higher chance of him using his left foot due to the outside foot shot trait. He also has the potential to go up to a 97 if I'm not mistaken and considering Manchester United are a considered favourite to win the Europa League, there is a possibility he could reach that rating.

FINAL VERDICT: I think he's a very fun card to use. With the 5* weak foot and the traits he has, he shooting is almost guaranteed to be lights out for you with his other stats excelling as well such as his pace and his passing. For the price of 300k, as he is an SBC you can lower the price by doing other upgrade SBCs that could get you high-rated fodder or use other fodder that you have stored in your club. If you enjoy using skill moves or he doesn't fit your team, I wouldn't recommend this card but for those who need a PL striker or is a fan of him IRL, this is definitely a card to consider getting.
