Amazing Striker Cam for under 1 million coins

By Adders79, 11-11-2020

I bought this guy as wanted a different striker than the usual players that you see. It took a while to get used to him and after a few games I was thinking I had wasted my coins, but once his play style clicked I cannot say enough good things about this player. He is incredibly fun, super strong and has the best volleys I have seen in the game. I have tried a lot of icons under 1 million coins and he is head and shoulders above the rest...but is pricey at just shy of 1 million coins. I play him in a 433 as ST with Neymar and Dembele either side and he outshines Neymar a lot of the time

To add I am not an amazing player. I hang around division 3 like a bad smell and cannot for the life of me get better than gold 2 in futchamps, so if I can get the best out of him I hate to think what an Elite player could do with him.

Shooting - 11/10 - This guys shooting is unreal. Shot power is crazy and he never seems to miss. He is also a giant so headers come easy for him and his volleys are the best I have seen in the game. He can finesse from outside the box and can shoot with either foot. If you get a chance with him he will not miss

Passing 9/10 - His passing also seems to be better than his stats suggest (even though they are not bad). Through balls, especially the double tap chip balls are super accurate along with his direct passes

Pace 8/10 - not the quickest but with hunter can still stay ahead of any central defender. He is also crazy strong so if a player catches up with you then just L2 and send him to the floor

Dribbling - 8/10 - due to his size he is a bit slow with movements, but not as bad as I expected and you can still turn tightly. I have not had an issue with this dribbling and with this type of player I did not buy him to be nimble and agile I bought him to score goals and create chances and he does both extremely well

Defending -4/10 - Even though his defence stats are awful; because of his size and strength you can easily use him in a 3 man midfield, however for close to 1 million coins I feel he is wasted here

I do not think there is anything I can say is a con, however in bad, delayed gameplay he does not shine as dribbling becomes difficult with him. If he was a non icon I would not pay 1 million for him as you can get Mbappe for 300k more, but for easy links and for something a bit different I do not think you can go wrong with him. Just take your time buying him for a good price so you can sell him for a profit if he ends up not being a player that fits your team

TANK!

The doctor is op he bulldoses his way through like a bull on steroids!I played him up top with cr7 his passing and through balls are really good didnt feel clunky at all. His shooting is insane with hunter 9 out of 10 it is going top bins.If your going to buy him he is best played in cam and his playstyle is for holding the ballscoring outside the box if your opponent is parking the bus. I would ...

UNREAL

GAMECHANGERThe presence of a Gullit on the pitch, the skills/wf combo everyone wants and the stats to back up the price.Unbelievable player. probs the best I've ever used considering how early in the game cycle I have packed him.If you want to compare to anyone, he's essentially a Talisca on steroids.

This guy makes you wonder How? Why? What? This guy does not make any sense. How come a 58 balance dude be so good at dribbling and turning? Why doesn't he fall? Why is he so hard to dispossess? How does that shot go in with his left outside of the box? What the F**K is that?I used him for 67 games, he scored 132 goals, and assisted 103 goals. And that is only his mid-tier. What would happ...
