Player Review
87 - Halloween
I've used this card across 4 consecutive gold 1/2 weekend leagues and he's been amazing each time.
He feels so smooth on the ball and with his dribbling and 4* SM he can create an opportunity even in the tightest of spaces if you use him well.
I use him as a lone striker in a 4-3-3 alongside mane and lozano with an engine chem style and he's constantly making the right run in behind to play him through from the midfield or so i can play it him from the wingers for a tap in.
167 goals and 67 assists in 144 games says it all about his finishing, and i find however you shoot (across the goal, chips, finesse etc) he puts 9/10 chances away that you'd expect him to score and his 4* WF might as well be a 5. Although his composure isnt the highest and this is semi important this year, i havent really notice it having an affect.
a very good striker for me and i would consider using him for your serie a attacker perhaps until you can afford cr7.
Finishing-- scores most chances you'd expect him to finish
Dribbling and close control-- great agility in tight situatons
Pace-- rapid getting onto long balls or balls in behind, although can be caught up by a ferland mendy or varane for example.
Set pieces-- good from penalties, free kicks and corners.
Links- good links to hazard, dybala, lozano etc
Strength-- can be pushed off the ball by most strong cbs but if you aren't reliant on long balls and can fake shot and utilise his SM it won't be as much of an issue
Height-- Quite small so rarely wins headers
Costly-- 450000+ however his price is likely to hold or even increase with time and he is cheaper than cr7
