Player Review
84 - IF
Packed him as an untradeable in one of my objective packs. Played 4 games in divison 4 rivals and that is enough to convince me of his quality.
Playing in 4-2-3-1(2) he is the perfect lone striker. 6'4" with 92 strength, he can hold the ball up, bring others into play. At this stage of the game he can dominate a defence, his high attacking work rate and reasonable pace, which feels higher than 86, means he can regularly make runs off the last defender to go through 1 on 1.
The only thing that stops him being the complete forward is his 3 star weak foot. A couple of times he's had a chance fall to him on his left foot, in a position you'd expect to score, and he's put it wide or hit a tame shot at the keeper.
I have only used him with basic chemistry but will be applying Hawk to boost his Pace, and Jumping. 83 Jumping on a 6'4" striker is a recipe for chaos.
Still at the beginning of the game he's going to be more than good enough to lead the line for the majority of FUT players. At the time of writing he's around the 30k mark, which is expensive, but with the Lewandowski POTM SBC coming out Friday he could well be worth the coins, in terms of contribution and sell on value.
Physicality - his height and strength make him an outlet if you're under pressure, and bring the supporting cast into play.
Pace - he's quick enough to burst through 1 on 1
Clinical right foot - If its on his right, then its going to hit the back of the net.
3 Star weak foot - his left is a bit less clinical, will still get a couple but wouldn't rely on it for a 90th minute winner
3 Star skills - prefer my attacking players to have a minimum of 4 star skills, but he can do basic stuff to create himself some space.
