Player Review
85 - ShowDown SBC
To start off this review, I did this card cause he's close to home since I live next to Eindhoven and because I'm dutch.
I had already done Robben and Klaiber and did this card to finish off the links from my rival rewards 70k coins.
I have played 8 matches with him and scored 18 goals and he got 9 assists. He scored a hattrick in his first match and did in the second to last match aswell.
Malen is rapid like Mbappe level rapid and he has amazing finishing and dribbling is one of the better dribblers I've used. I played him at RST in a 4-4-2 next to Neymar at LST and Joao Felix lm and Robben rm. I play in division 3 in rivals on the border of div 2.
Pace 10/10
He's rapid, like absurdly rapid. No defender can keep up with this man I'm telling you even walker at cb couldn't keep up with him.
I played him on the wing for one game cause I felt like using Robben in striker and he still sprinted past everyone and he even scored a goal.
Shooting 9.5/10
He has very consistent very good finishing but the weak foot for me made it not a 10 but a 9.5.
I don't really see a problem with the weak foot since he has the outside foot shot trait but one time he hit the bar with his wf.
Although he did score an outside 16 finesse shot with his wf in his first match but still could be a problem for other people.
Passing 8/10
Passing is fine for a ST. His short passing was good enough but you shouldn't use him at any other position than st or on the wing definetly not cam since his long shots are horrible.
He did make a pretty good cross to be scored on the head of Joe Gomez from a corner. So its fine for a ST.
Dribbling 10/10
For me it's a 10/10. His bodytype isn't the best for dribbling but he feels amazing on the ball and he makes those extra touches in thight situations that you need him to make.
He dribbled past Van Dijk and Varane to score a banger in the top right corner with his wf vs Van der Sar. So for me it's 10/10 he's agile, good balance, and dribbling is amazing.
He turns super fast so no problem.
Defense 4/10
He can take the ball from players in the midfield but the rest is way to bad to even be talking about.
Physical 8.5/10
His stamina is 81 which isn't great but for me he lasted the entire 90 minutes in rivals so it was fine for me.
His strength was suprisingly good since he shielded of most the fullbacks he came against just not good enough for someone like Van Dijk or Varane.
Jumping was fine he scored 1 header for me but yeah not the best but its fine.
Agression wasn't great but he did fight for the ball so I mean its eh.
I do think he is definetly worth the 70k, he is fantastic for his price.
Anyone that can link him, get him.
