86 - IF

4.5

Tevez Regen? Excellent Budget Card

By hahahlw, 06-12-2020

Prologue: After stable Gold 3/ Gold 2 finishes without stressing myself too much in the Weekend Leagues before, I was searching for a striker (who’s name is not Cristiano Ronaldo) out of Seria A to link the new acquisition of Story Andres Tello (slightly worse Renato for free in my opinion, love him!) in my squad.

With no luck yet in red picks I bought IF Lautaro for 168k coins (while writing this he’s dropping around 125k rn) and tested some Rivals game with him.

Main Stage:

Obviously he was so good I kept the team for the WL and boy did he deliver. In 21 WL games he dropped 17 goals and 11 assists, claiming 4 MVPs.

In my eyes he is very playable and fits the meta pretty well in the latest patch. With a Hunter Chem-Style he has nearly blistering pace und is consistent on both feet in front of goal, in addition every attempted volley (after low crosses especially) were ripping the net apart nearly. (Insert ZwebackHD Rocket Sound) Needless to mention his formidable positioning, can’t remember much scenes where he didn’t pick the right route or position to score or create space.

Small frame, agile dribbling stats and feeling feel really suited on him and as a ST he can make the needed passes and 1-2s, sick half pitch long balls through Varane and van Dijk he’s not capable to do, but isn’t needed either. 4*+ WF is essential, 4* SM not that much cause I don’t skill with Elasticos etc.

What makes this card special for me and stands out if you look at his card, are his superb physical stats, especially the aggression I noticed quite often surprisingly when he pressed the CBs or even the GK. (cheers Peter Schmeichel in one of the games, who channeled his inner Manuel Neuer or van der Sar and failed hilariously)

Base 86 strength holds off even the biggest defensive threats on most occasions, 90% the time it were Varane, Gomez and/or van Dijk...

On the other hand I didn’t notice his quite sick heading stats (incl. Power Header Trait), not only his fault because I think EA decreased the effectiveness of corners with every patch. (Remember the start/early phase of the game were IF Delaney scored headers EVERY corner LOL)

Links are (if at all) “okay” cause Seria A, Inter and Argentina as the nation.

Conclusion: For this price like most of the Seria A Cards a bargain and he will decrease in price more until the next TOTW drops. He really is 100% ST card, don’t even dare to use him as a winger. My guess is that he’d be invisible.

Linkability is a minor problem, doesn’t fit in most of the meta squads.

Absolut recommendation until TOTY, not a complete meta whore and he’s just fun to play with.

Absolutely Broken Card

This Lautaro might just be the most overpowered card I've used in any Fifa, and I was lucky enough to pack him in my 83x25 swaps pack. His boosted pace and dribbling makes him impossible to catch and he feels amazing on the ball. His finishing is incredible, and that's coming from someone who used him for an entire weekend league without realizing they changed his strong foot. His high strength and bulky body type make him ...

Im so glad I packed him, what a player!!!

After an amazing pack yesterday in which i got Mertens the following morning (today) i was able to pack this amazing card in TOTS Lautaro Martinez. I heard people saying that this card was bad somehow and i cannot understand how anyone could be so wrong lmao. He costs 3x less then he should cost, he can do absolutely ANYTHING for you - whether that is scoring a banger, getting a beautiful ass...

Lautaro Martínez

Actually really good

Where to start. I have only played 3 games with him but I feel that he is going to be in my team until he gets a TOTS. With a Hunter, he is so fast, amazing shooting, 4* skills and Wf and can just run past even the best of defenders. With his 88 strength he will just run past and hold his own against Varane and other high end center backs. You can easily go on a run with Martinez and just score out of no-where. Only thing i...
