Player Review
87 - Icon
This guy feels like a cheat so early on in the game... First of all, I highly recommend you position change him to a ST in game. He definitely can play on the wing, but he'd be wasted there. Then I'd recommend using a sniper chem style. With a pace boosting chem style you can't increase his agility enough and it's noticeable, unless you play him on the wing and use an engine chem style. But once I put sniper on him he felt much smoother and became stupidly clinical. This guy puts away everything, his left foot reminds me of Bale's from last year. He's also fast and strong. So if he doesn't initially burn the defender with pace, there's a good chance you can just shrug them off. Especially with people focusing on faster but weaker CB's such as Militao this year. It's a shame he didn't get the 5* WF I feel he deserved, but so far I've had no problems finishing on his right. Oh, and you get the bonus of having great passing stats for a ST which I also feel is more relevant this year. It's nice to finally have a great English forward Icon and I can't wait to try his prime. I'd say the only thing I would want on this card is a bit more acceleration. Other than that he's a complete striker for me.

No stand out weaknesses as a ST
Tiny bit more acceleration would be nice
