Game Changer

By elmacooe, 21-12-2020

Yes, he is a game changer! I use him as a striker (false 9) in my Ned/Ger/Prem hybrid team. And let me tell you, he is a complete game changer with his 5-star week foot and his 4-star skills.

I have slapped a hunter on him, because I like that extra boost of speed when i track back). As a bonus he is also a bit quicker when moving into position readying himself to rocket that volley into the corner of the net (99 volley with Hunter).

Obviously for such a tall player, he is not the one to use to quickly get in behind, like a Werner but then again, that is not my playstyle. The reason for putting coins into the market in order to buy this guy, was to begin with that I just can’t stand all these “meta park the bus defences” and I needed someone to be able to twist and turn and hold on to the ball even though meta CB’s came from behind and bomb the ball into the net from distance, and that is what Socrates was brought up to do.

And with a price of just arround 700K, he is a bargin, compared to players like for example 90 rated Bruno Fernandes who always get suggerpunched infront of a "park the bus defence". And yes, he manage overtime as well, if you use him wisly and not hold the sprint button for 90+ minutes.

TANK!

The doctor is op he bulldoses his way through like a bull on steroids!I played him up top with cr7 his passing and through balls are really good didnt feel clunky at all. His shooting is insane with hunter 9 out of 10 it is going top bins.If your going to buy him he is best played in cam and his playstyle is for holding the ballscoring outside the box if your opponent is parking the bus. I would ...

UNREAL

GAMECHANGERThe presence of a Gullit on the pitch, the skills/wf combo everyone wants and the stats to back up the price.Unbelievable player. probs the best I've ever used considering how early in the game cycle I have packed him.If you want to compare to anyone, he's essentially a Talisca on steroids.

Amazing Striker Cam for under 1 million coins

I bought this guy as wanted a different striker than the usual players that you see. It took a while to get used to him and after a few games I was thinking I had wasted my coins, but once his play style clicked I cannot say enough good things about this player. He is incredibly fun, super strong and has the best volleys I have seen in the game. I have tried a lot of icons under 1 million coins and he is head and shoulders ...
