Player Review
93 - Bundes POTM SBC
I played this weekend league and thought to myself how boring it is to play with all the players that everyone else were playing. I saw the Lewandowski card and thought to myself that this would be a very fun to use, and I was able to do him for around 150k. I then built a squad around him that included moments forsberg, henrik larsson, and some basic bundesliga players around him.
At first I was very skeptical of my decision. I used him in a 4-2-3-1 but it didn't work out with his lack of pace, and i only managed 1 goal in the first 5 games. I decided to switch around and play him in a 4-1-2-1-2 narrow, because I thought that a second striker that had more pace would be more benificial, and I was so correct. This formation clicked perefectly with Lewandowski. Not only can he score goals and find the perfect run, his passing is suprisingly incredible. He's bagged many asssits to either my CAM or my other ST (Larsson, Forsberg) What I mostly did was use my full backs to cross the ball in. This made my attacking go very fast and easy. A cross in the Lewandowski and he heads into back of the net almost 90% of the time, and if I don't cross it, oh well, he's always there at the perfect moment and with the inredible shooting he has, barely misses a shot. I score so many goals with him and Larsson, but I concede a lot too. But this isn't a problem for me because i find the space I need for Lewandowski to finish it, and it makes up for the goals I concede, by scoring more goals, and believe it or not, I've only lost one game so far with Lewandowski in my team.
Summary: I really think this is one of the best strikers in the game. In my opinion he has to be used in a double striker formation to make up for the lack of pace he has. If you want to have fun, go for him. All the games I played were played in div 1 (2020 + SR) and he almost got me to elite, but I disconnected from the game (typical EA), but I didn't mind since I had so much fun using him. This is definetily a card that I'm gonna use for a good while, until I find a more fun card. If you wanna have fun with the game, go for him.
