Best striker under 1 mil.

By Biiiiigsaq, 15-11-2020

Where to start? For this Weekend League, I decided to change my team around as I had the fortune of getting Joao Felix in my red picks last week. I decided to try out Shevchenko as I loved him in real life and his base stats looked quite good and boyyy am I happy with my decision to try him. I deployed Shevchenko as a sole striker, using the 4-2-3-1 formation, with Salah and Hazard on each side of him, with Joao Felix behind him as CAM (reply in comments for custom tactics if anyone wants them). Now onto the actual review-This guy is utterly ridiculous. I used him with an engine chem style and not once did I have an issue with his pace-however, having used Mbappe previous to him I could tell the difference in speed but then again Mbappe is literally a cheat code this year lmao. For those skillers out there, I guess a downside to this card would be the 3* skills but lets be real-most of youse who complain about players not having 4 star skills don't do any skills except fake shots anyway. In terms of dribbling, he felt surprisingly well on the ball-not exactly the silky dribbling of Neymar but nothing to complain about either. Now onto the best aspect of this card-his shooting. This man can score from literally anywhere. I didn't use a shooting boost on him but I don't even think it is needed, I didn't miss one chance where I didn't expect him to score. As for his passing, he felt relatively average for a striker. Physically this guy was an absolute bully-I've won so many balls back from defenders and shrugged off the largest of defenders with this dude. All in all, I can comfortably say that this dude is the best striker I have used under 1 mil-I would even say he would be up there with Mbappe if he was a bit quicker. I'd definitely give him a try if you haven't already!

-Shooting-this guy finishes everything and has an easy job doing it-by far the best aspect of this card.

-Pace-Felt relatively quick compared to most strikers

-Dribbling-not out of this world but was way better than I was expecting-his R1 dribbling and close control particularly surprised me.

-Physicality-he was very strong on the ball and I had an easy job shrugging off defenders

-Weak foot-What weak foot?

-attack positioning-What I loved about this guy was that he is always in the right position (much like in real life)

-Skill moves-I don't really skill with my strikers much so I didn't really notice it

-Stamina-I usually take him off around the 70th min so don't really notice it in game.

-guess you could say lack of strong links bc nationality?

As you can see here I'm clutching at straws here for cons bc he's actually ridiculous in game and I had a hard time coming up with any cons lmao

Ukraine's Beast

Was really fortunate to pack him relatively earlier this year and I have to got to say, he is way too cheap rn for only 350k. He's the ultimate striker: blistering pace with hunter, shoot anywhere inside the box and watch as the keeper also watches it fly into the net because of the insane shot power. He averages about 1.5 goal contributions per Rivals (Div 4, almost Div 3) and ...

Good player, but not great and expensive

I tested him as a striker next to Mané in formation 41212 (2), he is a good/solid player: fast and has a good shoot, however he hits many balls on the post and because he does not have 4 * SM his attack is somewhat predictable. His best quality for me by far was the ability to receive the ball in the back pivot and manage to spin, the best striker ...
