Player Review
86 - Ligue 1 POTM SBC
To start, I am an average player on FIFA 20, no more than Gold 3 Fut Champs when I can be bothered to play and I hover between DIV 3 and 4.
I had been a bit bored of FIFA for a while having not found a new player I wanted to tryout until this Delort card arrived. His inform had already looked like another upgrade would turn him into the perfect striker for my play style: not to tall that he's clunky and slow, but still strong enough to bully the best defenders. Delort POTM does not disappoint and do not let the 3* WF and SM fool you. First game with him he volleys a shot past Alisson from outside the box into the top right. This was from a cross from 77 rated Moses Simon whilst Delort was sandwiched between VVD and Gomez so had no right to get to it at all. His AI also seems fairly intelligent knowing when to drop back and make perfect runs rarely being caught offside. For 85k he can easily start for you or be an overpowered supersub as he offers a play style I can only see in SIF Watkins and Mid-Icon Shevchenko.
Pace - Does not need a boost, quick enough to out accelerate the likes of Gomez and Varane
Right Foot - in any space, he will find the roof of the net 9/10 times.
Short Passing - An ideal ST for 2 ST formations as he is perfect for laying off passes and then running into space.
Agility - Normally with physical strikers they are hard to turn and run but I have found him to be very responsive on the ball
Jumping - This may be down to his height but his jumping stat is a bit misleading, given a free header or up against a smaller defender (6ft2 or below) he'll win the header every time but some taller physical defenders such as VVD he seems to make the decision to not jump and contest the header unless in front of the defender.
Right Foot - I know this is also a Pro but his 3* WF and his AI model seem to always force him to take shots with his right even if his left foot would be in a better place to shoot, this has resulted in some unusual animations and missed opportunities in the box. However when you can force him to use his left foot he is just as lethal, his weak foot only seems to affect him outside the box.
Long Shots - Despite having good power, composure and okay long shots as stats, they never seem to trouble keepers. By this I mean they often don't even hit the target unless shot across the goal. Ironically despite having awful curve and no finesse shot trait, his outside the box finesse shots seem to be fairly accurate and powerful.
Nation - This isn't a weakness really but you should be aware before completing him, he has very few usable strong links with the SBC Atal being the only decent option so I have resorted to icons to play other players I want around him.
