Player Review
98 - TOTY
Okay, so let's start with why I decided to buy this card, well it's fairly obvious I am from Poland and I am proud to see Robert getting his TOTY card for the first time, obviously well deserve, although a bit disappointed he is not 99 rated, but that is minor. Let's get to the actual review! (Oh, as I mentioned before, I am from Poland so please excuse if something is not written very clear)
Pace - Lewandowski is quick, much much quicker than on his gold, or even IF/SIF card. As you probably know, he won't be able to outpace Varane or Mendy but he is much quicker than you expect. If you've played with his golden card you probably were shooting from outside a box since through balls towards him were hopeless, when it comes to his TOTY card, you can feel free to actually do it.
Shooting - Surprisingly more than I expected, shooting from inside a box? That's going to be a goal. Shooting from outside a penalty box? That is going to be a goal as well. Shooting with his weak foot? No problem, out of like 10-15 games I played with him, he only missed the goal twice using his left foot. Also worth mentioning his traits which is Finesse shot and from outside foot. Headers are also surprisingly good, no he isn't better than Ronaldo at headers, but you can easily direct the ball at him rather than your tall defenders, he just got something special in it.
Passing - Well, now we are going to talk about passing. To be completely honest, his passing is good, however I did not test it properly, because I've been playing 5-3-2 and the "best" pass I could possibly make was of a distance 9-12meters, so yes passes are accurate. Free kicks are actually very very good, he reminds me of Alex Telles TOTS in Fifa 19. I always scored with him a free kick, and in this fifa with Lewandowski TOTY, although I am quite bad at set pieces, he scored 8 free kicks out of 20 possible. Obviously if you are master at it, the statistics will be much better. ( OHH Forgot to mention, I am division 4 player at 1400 Rating and 10 games were played in DR, 3 in Fut champs)
Dribbling - Lewandowski's agility could be improved with a chemistry style, as its quite low, but the ball control is just amazing the ball is stuck to his foot. Compulsory is also great, he can finish it perfectly whilst having 2 defenders behind him and its 119th minute :). Not much else to say, since I only use bridge and ball roll to be honest, and sometimes drag back. Lewandowski can perform tricks easily.
Defending - You might call me crazy, but I did actually try to play him as a CM in 4-4-2 alongside Kante, and Lewandowski due to his posture can actually tackle the ball quite easily despite his low defending stats.
Physicality - Last but not least, how good is he when it comes to physicality you might wonder? My answer is, he is very good just how the card shows. He is very very strong, hard to get the ball away from him, if you press L1/LB with a good timing. He can jump very high as well, so if you are a timewaster (I do not recommend to do it and like to pass to your players over and over with L1/LB Square/X, then yes Lewandowski will be perfect for that. His stamina is alright, you can easily play him for 90 minutes if you are not overusing team pressure, however you might struggle to play him for 120 mins. Although if you are still drawing and its like 2-3 minutes left of ET, you might want to leave him for penalties, which are superior btw :).

Shooting - Shoot = Goal
Physicality - Strong, good headers just great number 9
Pace, feels faster than stats are shown, usually its the other way around.

His links might be a problem; I linked him with Davies in 4-2-2-2.
You cant lie to yourself, he is expensive, probably it is better option to buy Neymar Ronaldo and Mbappe (Gold) for price of TOTY Lewandowski, but as I mentioned before I am biased due to where I am from.
