Player Review
84 - Squad Foundations
Hello everyone,
This is my first review ever about a player.
I didn't grinded too much to get him and it was totally worth it for me.
I've scored a lot of goals with him this weekend league and he helped me a lot on going from G3 to G2. Sometimes he feels way better than Ben Yedder standard card.
I'm gonna use the standard format from others reviewers:
- Pace 10/10
Ok, lads let me tell you something: 96 pace is nuts. The same pace as Mbappé and with his 5* WF makes him lethal in a 1v1 situation a long with his 99 agility, 92 balance, 93 ball control and 94 dribling (with Marksman). He can outrun the main meta defenders and he is not more lethal because of his physicality, which we're gonna discuss below.
- Shooting 9.0/10
Yeah, I know I said he's lethal but the lack of some traits like finesse shot and/or outside foot shot makes some angles not possible to be reached depending on where you are at the field. However, as a 5* WF player he can abuse of both directions turning right or left and shooting. He have 91 finishing, 90 power shot and 98 long shots with Marksman and he can make easy goals almost from outside the box.
- Passing 7/10
Not a great thing for him since he has only 84 vision 76 short passing but playing him as a ST makeup it a little.
- Dribbling 8.5/10
He's agile but 3* Skills can be bad in some situations. Sometimes he doesn't feel very incisive to turn and definitely isn't a player to make big plays like Mbappé (for obvious reason) or a standard meta player with 4-4*.
- Physicality 7/10
For me this is the biggest problem from this card. He's fast and agile and have 5*WF which makes him nuts and lethal in a variety of situations but unfortunately when facing defenders such Varane, VVD, Sissoko, Sergio Ramos and some others he will perish in a body fighting. Do not try to make plays thinking on push away defenders because it will not work at all. If he has something around 70 strength and a little more of aggression this card would be perfect for the fact of being free. You can reach 64 strength with marksman tho.
- Stamina 10/10
There is not much I can say because his 98 stamina stats says by itself. You can play with him the 90 minutes and even more playing as ST.
Closing words:
Is he worth? If you players to link with him. For example a icon or Promes / Gravenberch / Dumfries, he is. Without 10 chem he doesn't feel a very attractive player, maybe he can be used as a sub because of his pace and 5* WF.
