To start, I was just hoping for TOTY Mane to drop so i could pick him up and use him this weekend league. When the team came out, I saw Salah 97 had similar stats to Mane, and personally I get more satisfaction out of left footed players. I was lucky enough to pick him up for 1.4 mil at the start, and after only 10 games, I dont see myself taking the money on him (at the time of writing, he is about 1.6). I am an elite player, have finished elite 3, 2, and 1 most recently, and he is incredible. I used the basic chemstyle to max his pace, dribbling, get the shot power up since his finishing is already 99, and also boost the strength and passing. I used other versions of him, but obviously nothing compares to this. I play him at ST in a 4231 narrow with 1POTM Messi behind him at CAM, and Salah outshines him by a mile. After the 10 games he has 17 goals and about 7 assists, and I wouldnt say he is better than Mane, but he is still an endgame card. There are several pros and only a few cons, but several of my boys roast me since they would never consider using him due to his standout con, which Ill get to.

Abolutely deadly up top, But due to this game is wasted on the wings

Still trying to decide if its best to play him at ST and buy a RW or play WBY up top with him at RW

So i packed salah a few minutes after the premier league tots dropped and i was buzzing, he is amazing up to where i play him, he finishes everything even from outside the box and his finesse shots is deadly, he feels really good on the ball and can cause chaos in any defence with his amazing pace, shooting and agility.

Ok so I did the 89+ upgrade pack for free because I had the fodder and was expecting gold Busquets and Ter stegen but what I was greeted by was beyond anything Ive seen, I got 99 Lewandowski and 97 Salah In the pack. As a player who never spent coins on packs, you can just imagine my reaction when i received over 1 mil pack value. But coming back to the point, this card is absolutely broken. I played him up top as striker along with the 99 Lewandowski, and I have to say he somehow overshadowed the highest rated card in the game. Although Lewandowski is an absolute cheat code. This card is on another level. You cannot begin to comprehend how well this card exploits space. He can do everything, including passing, as you may know is an absolute pain in this game. ill be going a little more in depth of the cards stats now:

Pace: 99 Acceleration and 97 Sprint Speed, thats it, thats all Im saying

Dribbling: 97 Ingame Dribbling with 99 Agility, thats it, thats all Im saying.. No Im just kidding.... His dribbling is amazing, it may seem a little underwhelming in the beginning, but once you understand and get comfortable with the cards mechanics, you'll realize the guy keeps the ball extremely close to his feet. Quick turns, quick legs, and quick lefts and rights are all in this cards repertoire. This card is generally in very good positions in which he just needs to use his pace to break through and score, but he can also take on over 4 players at once with just his left stick dribbling.

Passing: This was something that really surprised me, as you may know, a lot of the time high passing stats on TOTSSF forwards doesnt mean anything because the passing in this game is garbage, but this card is surprisingly good at passing, you can feel the great short passing in the game because this card dished out assists like crazy, if through balls were an in game attribute, this man would have 99 because this card can make defense cutting balls which are incredible, his long passing is nice too

Shooting: oh man OH MAN! I never expected this to be the highlight of the card over his dribbling, but damn. This is where this card is worth the money, suited better on his left, as long as you take the shots on that side, it IS DEFINITELY GOING IN. Man has the best shooting animations in the game. 99 positioning is what here here for, man makes superb runs and 99 finishing just finishes things nicely. And yes, Im getting to the elephant in the room, 3 star WF. Im so done with this games forbidding meta, that Salah meets anyway, to care about the 3 star WF. In the games Ive played so far, his weak foot is not a problem. if you do find him on the right, I would recommend a simple left ball roll, get the ball on his left foot, and the Outside foot trait, which works an absolute charm, will get the job done. Traits are obviously important and Salah has Outside Foot and Finesse which make his finishing experience even more worth while, I used the marksman chem style on him which makes his shot power absolutely insane. I would say this is my favorite attribute of this card and honestly felt it would have been wasted on the flanks.

Defending: Umm..... i did find the 99 reactions very helpful because when he lost the ball he would immediately pounce to try and get it back, so thats great.

Physical: Really like this about the card, really surprising, even though he doesnt have the bulk he is strong and extremely aggressive, combine that with his immense speed, helps you guard the ball from a defender and then break away from them and score a goal

So overall I gave him a 5/5 because this guy is an absolute cheat code. I gave him Game changer 5/5 because man bailed me in two games when i was losing by 2 goals, Stamina speaks for it self. The only reason I gave Value for money 4.5/5 is because i saw that TOTSSF Aguero and TOTSSF Werner were in a similiar price range and you may want to choose them for the WF but I would still say this card would still be worth it, but what do i know? I got him for free :D Lol.

So that concludes my review, I know no one must have read all of it, word to word, so in a nutshell, great pace, passing and dribbling but the stand out of this card is clearly its shooting. Dont mind the WF, as long as you play him as a left striker you should be fine.

When I did the Prem TOTSSF sbc i was praying for a good attacker to fit into my squad. As soon as I saw the Egyptian flag, I knew I just got a massive attacker and a massive win from the sbc. After using for 12 games, He felt so good in almost all areas of his game. In those 12 games he got 9 goals and 4 assists which isn't a bad return at all.

Pace: 10/10

As they say Mo salah is running down the wing, and he can really burst past defenders with ease.

Shooting: 10/10

I love the shooting on this card as his shots are so powerful and good since he has got 99 finishing and positioning along with his finesse shot trait.

Passing: 9/10

His passing is generally good is just that he can occasionally misplace a few passes.

Dribbling: 10/10

He feels nice and smooth on the ball and can glide past opponents and move from side to side really quickly

Defending: 5/10

He does intercept passes on a few occasions, but you will not really need to be defending with him anyway

Physical : 9/10

He feels quite strong as he can hold off defenders really well and his 96 stamina is also really nice to have

Closing words: This card definitely has everything apart from his 3* star weak foot, his is definitely worth it as long as u get him under a million coins
