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.
- Passing
- Skills (at some points)
