90 - Bundes POTM SBC
I'm a fan of Haaland in real life, so when this SBC came out I had to do him. Had a lot of SBC fodder in my club so could do him for about 100k. I've used him for this weekend league and at first I was super enthusiastic, mainly because he has the best finishing I've encoutered this FIFA. Absolute beast. He scored me 46 goals in the 30 WL games. Furthermore I noticed his dribblling, passing and pace are all decent. Seems like a perfect striker.
But... after a few matches, I started to get slightly annoyed with his flawes. Although he is strong, he gets put of the ball easily by players like Varane, Gomez and van Dijk (which everyone seems to have now). His strenght is negativaly impacted by his length and lack of balance. Also his lack of acceleration is a problem. Maybe it is my playing style, but after a full weekend league my conclusion is: awesome finisher, mediocre at everything else. As much as I like him in RL, he's just not made for this FIFA and it makes me sad. Hopefully a winter upgrade will reduce his flaws just enough to use him again. Because to conclude with a positive note: he is an absolute perfect finisher!
- awesome left food (and his right is good enough)
- it's Haaland
- does not feel as strong as stats suggest
- mediocre passing, pace, finishing and driblling
