87 - Winter Refresh
Hi, this is my first Futbin player review, so rate it if you read that, I'd really appreciate it. Also, I'm not originally English-speaking so don't mind some little mistakes.
To start off, I'm an E3 player but never depending on typical meta cards, I love using some unordinary players. I played Dani Olmo in 4-2-3-1 narrow as a middle CAM and I must say he surprised me a lot.
The first thing worth mentioning is his positioning and overall - shots. If you have some decent playmakers around him, he can easily become your best scorer in the team. I didn't force the ball into him so he was taking his position naturally and whether these were tap-ins or inside the box finesses - he could have finished 8/10 shots easily. Sometimes he was having that unique low-driven animation when taking normal power shots, which allowed him to surprise the keeper a couple of times. I used the hawk so it might be it, but I'm of the opinion that some cards just have it.
Talking bout his dribbling, this is the hardest thing to rate. He did have some sharp turns while standing with ball and even some glue in inside the box situations. However, his lack of actual agility, average height and considerably low acceleration didn't allow him to dribble past more than one player at times. I'd compare him with Firmino before the skill upgrade.
His passing was very good, I noticed the long balls to be very accurate, but due to the lack of agility again, he wasn't that cheeky passer. But if you manage to find space, he should deliver the ball to your players easily.
His stamina, of course, wasn't a problem. As a bonus I'd add that he's decent at manual tracking back, which is the skill I demand from my CAM.
I think that's it for his stats. Now let's talk bout the price. I paid around 175k for him and this should be the price. Up to 200k, he is real good value for coins and a must-have in all Bundesliga squads. Overall, I'm quite impressed with the card. If you're a top notch player, he might not be enough for Division 1, but anywhere else he'd do the job.
- 4*/4*
- passing
- ball control
- shooting
- positioning
- top speed
- agility
- lacks a little responsiveness at a very bad gameplay
- acceleration (considerably)
If you liked his 83, then this card is a no brainer. Everything that was good about his agility have been amplified here: Agility, Acceleration and extremely deadly in front of goal. Normally in upgrades this size, you might struggle to recognize the things you loved in the lower rating versions, but this card feels exactly the same with the only exception being that he does not miss, one-on-one, and he pulls away from defenders again, like his 83 used to before TOTY. If you're running 90 Werner alongside him, I wish your opponents a peaceful journey into the afterlife.
Feels Pacey again
Amazing Agility
Deadly Finishing
Brilliant Attack Positioning as usual
Will be difficult to link for non BL squads
So expensive for some reason!
I packed him from lv 20 season 2 rewards and he has been phenomenal. he's been great on and off the ball, and can head (unlike most) quite well. He will win you games and be the star of your team
finishes everything
great pace and physical
nothing really
strength could be higher
I got him from the surprise bag sbc and at first I was like hmmm it could have been better. But then i started playing him and he was sooo good omg. He scores with both feet as if he had 5* WF! Often I'm like idk what to do so i just shoot and he scores a banger. It's just crazy. He is way better than his stats look and they aren't bad either! I play him with Hawk and I truly enjoy him! I played him in 4-2-3-1 as a striker up front and as an central cam! He also makes a lot of assists! I couldn't really tell where he was better. I would say its the same. One of my favorite cards in my whole fifa career for sure.
Speed is better than 89
Shooting is like a upper 90 stat
Can definitely score with both feet
His physics are better than you would think, not like a 90 strengh player but definitely OK!
Dribbling is also good to
Gets a lot of assists
Can be difficult to link, maybe with Esswein Flashback if you did him or Coutinho if you like him
5* skills would be the last thing for perfection because his left foot is good
Un peu plus de 80 match avec et gros plaisir. 200k le joueur, investissement non risqué. Il est vraiment très fort dans tous les domaines, grosse accè pas mal agile et une lourde frappe. Vraiment je vois peu de défauts pour le prix. Jouer tres fun à tester
les plus: Technique
Acceleration
Frappe
Brésil
les contres : Bundesliga
Vitesse pur même si c'est déjà pas mal
et c'est tout
