Player Review
96 - TOTS
Packed Griezmann in a Guaranteed La Liga TOTTSF pack, and was hugely excited to try him out after searching for a way to merge TOTSSF Ben Yedder and SH Sissoko into my existing La Liga team with full chem.
To give you an idea of the level I'm at, I usually hover around Gold 3 in WL when I play, and I usually sit around Div 5 or 6 throughout the week, so I'm by no means a FIFA expert. That being said, I found Griezmann to be massively underwhelming no matter the opponent - in 14 games he has scored 3 and assisted 3 (in comparison my SH Vinicius has played 34, scored 25 and assisted 21). I even found him being pushed off the ball by a 49 rated right back on numerous occasions in Squad Battles - again I'm no superstar, but considering I won that game 9-0 Griezmann was completely ineffective.
Despite his pace stats he never seems to storm past anyone like some players with similar stats (Ben Yedder, Vinicius, Perisic), which I think is down to his relatively low strength rating (even with a Hawk on him). I play him as a LW in a 4-2-4 with Stay Forward and Play Wide, so he should always have the energy to get in behind, but quite simply doesn't.
Linkability is obviously a massive plus with him - if you have Mendy, Benzema or even Lenglet there are loads of ways to fit him into your team. If he wasn't untradeable though, I'd 100% be selling him for the 230k he's currently going for.
- Linkability with the likes Mendy and Benzema. Good hybrid links too.
- Decent left foot
- May be better central from reading other reviews - awful on the wing though
- Really struggling here... nice haircut?!
- Has the strength of a toddler.
- Has the weak foot of an amputee.
- Struggles to get out of the pocket of a 49-rated right back.
