Player Review

86 - SIF
3.0
Not my kind of player
By Verbotim, 11-12-2020

Was lucky enough too get him in my Red Picks and was pretty hyped, because I needed a prem Winger/Striker to improve my Squad.


Got him in Instantly as replacement for Alessandrini who was playing off chem.

https://www.futbin.com/21/squad/4079494



Ingame I started to play 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2, because sadly after the patch my narrow formations just doesnt seem to work for me.

In 4-2-3-1 Zaha is my outside RAM, whilst in 4-4-2 I got him as my right striker. Basically I am switching ingame a lot between those too formations, depending on what feels good.


Rather sadly for me, Zaha was not up to par at any position. On the wing he nearly completely disappeared for me. very little touches or moments where he was able to go for a run.

When he was playing as striker, he missed some open net opportunities, but was more involved in the play. I like my striker to be more open for quick passes around the box, which

he was not. Most of the time he was somewhere hidden behind a defender but not able to go for a run, because he was too close to offside to really go for it.

His weak foot though is not really noticeable, same as Salahs weakfoot here.


I also switched his chemstyles around quite a bit, atm I am running Maestro for his RAM role, and I think it kind of improves his performance. Also I removed come back on defence instructions

because his workrates just let him stay too far back with that. I will play him this WL but I dont think that he will be a long time performer in my squad.


Dont get it wrong though, in comparison to other cards in the prem I could be playing there he still is good you just have to find a way to make him work for you


Keep in mind, this only reflects my experience with him in 20 Div1 Rivals (13-7) games and 6 WL games (6-0)

Zaha is back and he is stronger

Welcome to another review, this time of SIF Zaha. This TOTW is actually good and so is Zaha. I had used his IF in drafts and felt really good and I had thought before in buying it. But his SIF convinced me instantly because it looked like a really fun player. After I used him, no surprise, he is absolutely what I expected, he is fast, Has amazing finishing, but of course, his biggest pro, GODLIKE DRIBBLING. And I saw he was...

THIS CARD IS INSANE!

I sold my baby Zola to get this card not knowing what to expect. I played one game with him and I instantly knew I had made the right decision. My favourite thing about this card is that with a finisher chem style the ball just sticks to his feet allowing him to get past any defender. His pace is already really good so I don't see any need to improve that. His finishing is just as good as my POTM Joao Felix and Rashford whi...

Best player ive used this fifa

Packed him and decided to use him, he is by far the best player I've used this year and fits the meta. He carried me through FUT Champs this weekend. I was using deadeye on him and he was unreal, smacked a lot of people because of him.
