Player Review
90 - Icon
Ok so before I start this review, please have in mind that this is not a typical meta player and there are several players on the market for a lot cheaper that technically "fits" the meta of this game (Werner, Rashy, ASM and so on). If you want a pure meta striker for the least amount of coins possible, this is not the guy for you and the review will be kind of irrelevant. This one is for all of my homies that don't care about EAs sweat-agenda.
Ok now let's get into the review.
I was looking at my team on thursday for the upcoming weekend league and came to the conclusion that I am completely fed up with Neymar. Don't get me wrong, he's been solid af, but around this time of year on every FIFA I stop caring about the meta and go full fun mode instead. I hopped on FUTBIN to initially find a replacement LM, but I couldn't find one that I liked. After opening the base/mid icon and getting Schweinsy (who's actually a monster box to box LCM with a shadow) I decided that I wanted a new central player instead. I remembered how sick prime Larsson was in FIFA 18, and me being swedish he is a true idol for me. Come friday I snagged him off the market for like 715k, slapped a hunter on him, and hopped into WL, and LET, ME, TELL, YOU...
This Larsson is a freaking monster. He's honestly the most complete striker I could ever imagine in this game. The attacking AI is phenomenal, his pace with a hunter is actually crazy, and his shooting... holy shit his shooting is banging. This Larsson is truly cracked. I don't have anything to even slightly complain about. The 3 star skill moves didn't bother me in the slightest. All skill moves you need on a striker in this game is 3* anyways and his base dribbling is good enough. Regular left stick on Larsson is fantastic, his movement is crisp. I wouldn't actually be surprised if some pro players started using him in the future.
Truly a magnificent card that gives me some aspect of fun in this snorefest of a game.
Is he better than R9 (in-game)? No. Will you lose money buying him? Most likely. Are the dreads the wrong color? Yes. Will you love him? ABSOLUTELY.
Honest to god, hand on my heart; everything. I don't have a single complaint about this card. The only potential downside would be the price, but if you're here reading reviews, you're probably willing to spend the coins already.
Ok one con: EA gave him the wrong hair color his dreads.
