84 - Normal
When building my starting Bundesliga squad, I was desperate to include Jadon Sancho (I loved his 84 card last year) and that left me with the dilemma of choosing which LW to include.
I'll be honest - there isn't a massive variety of players in this position, and it is dominated by Bayern. Remembering how solid all round Perisic has been in previous years and the fact he was the cheapest, I chose him.
Boy am I glad I did!
For reference: 15 games, 12 goals, 8 assists using Sniper
Pace: Noticeably not as quick as Sancho on the opposite wing, he has no problems passing RB/RCB's out wide and into the middle. His pace feels evenly balanced and has not been an issue thus far.
Shooting: Numerous occasions I've been able to cut in onto his right and shoot from distance accurately, though the 5* weak foot makes the cut in non-essential and it definitely feels equal between left and right feet. Finishing is incredible following adding a sniper chem style. Often shots by Perisic make it into the net or are parried by the keeper into the path of another attacker (yes probably because of the bug with this). Alternatively, he is often in the right position for rebounds.
Passing: Good all round passing for build up play. I don't often use much passing when attacking, but haven't noticed many going astray
Dribbling: Occasionally feels like his touch is heavy when on longer sprints, but all round very good at carrying the ball forward and controlled dribbling in the box. Feels very much like POTM Havertz from last year. 4* skills are a big bonus (though yet to master skills effectively yet)
Defence: N/A
Physical: Often wins the ball when battling 1v1 with full backs, rarely losing battles. Never seems to run out of stamina and lasts all day.
Summary: Excellent all round left sided player, not insanely pacy but still quick enough and good enough all round to make up for it
- Strong
- Well rounded
- 4* skills, 5* WF
- Consistent shooting
- Well priced compared to alternitives
- Not insanely quick
