Tremendously agile, wonderfully effective.

By Lukex76, 03-02-2021

I do not have the most prosperous club in FIFA. I've often writhed helplessly against good teams because I simply do not have enough money. I have yearned for a moderately cheap, immoderately good striker for an innumerable amount of time. And I've found him. Owen is terrific. Outstanding. I did his SBC for about 40k and wow. I don't have much to compare him to, the closest I've ever come to a good striker is Raul, but Christ Owen is better (for me). I've been using him in a 4-4-2 with Dybala as his striking partner, fluctuating between Div 2 and 3. I've tried him with both an engine and hunter. Equally effective in my opinion, although my disposition has reposed in hunter for quite a while. His agility, and dribbling in general is great. His touches are crisp, and his positioning is excellent. Always finding a way onto that ball through the middle. Pace is obviously nice, but the shooting is the truly sumptuous, burnished jewel. I'm not quite sure how, but Owen's shots always find a way in. So powerful, and they always squeeze in through tedious angles. Stalwart in 1 on 1s and decent from range. It's especially nice having him up front with Dybala, whom I usually use for florid finesses, because he can just smash it into the top corner. However, his passing is not good. I convinced myself I could wholly ignore it, but his passing is not great, and the skills are not ideal (although when I use skills I just spam roulettes). Owen is not the greatest striker ever, but he excels at everything you need in a striker intrinsically.

Shooting is unbelievable. So clinical.
Agility is brilliant, as are his runs.

Good value icon

I needed an icon to link up some players so i decided to get this guy. I did the sbc for 250k and i can tell you he is 100 percent worth. He has the pace and agility to skip past defenders and his finishing is absolutely lethal. I'm playing him with potm haaland and both of their passing isnt the greatest so i would advise having players with good passing around him

Great Shooting, Needs Hunter to Maxmize Potential

Michael Owen is electric and clinical, but his dribbling and passing can be a let down sometimes. For the current SBC price he's worth the coins, but for his market price right now I would pass. When the new batch of Icon SBC's came out I didn't feel the need to complete any of them as they didn't fill any of the needs in ...

THE EUROPEAN CANNON IS HERE

One of the best strikers I´ve used in a while. 30 games, 41 goals, 19 assists. I guess you don´t need to hear more. If you´re not sure if you should do his sbc/buy him, I really suggest you to do so. He feels very fast, agile and is very clinical in front of the goal. You might say that 63 strength is not enough. However, in game he feels like with 80 strength. The only con I can thi...
