85 - FUT Freeze SBC

LALA THE HIDDEN DREAM
By vespa22, 09-02-2021

Lala is a hidden dream. But not in the way you might think.I did him at first due to having duplicate high rated untradeables. I originally thought he was going to be useless, and this is where I admit, as a forward, he was. His return was like 1 in 8, so I said to myself that I would have to use him differently. Then I got an idea to use him as a midfielder, because I needed a right mid that could play in the midfield. He was PERFECT for this. As a centre mid, he dominates people. He's so so fast, he catches everyone and is insane for defending against counter attacks. He is very good at going forward as well. He loves to offer a wide passing option and can find himself between defenders very easily. He has even scored a couple of times from this (Div2/Div3/Champs) and can be the extra man you need going forward to score goals, especially when the opponent plays drop back. He is crazy when defending. His tackling stats are a lie and he easily dominates most midfielders due to the high pace+strength, and technical players like David Silva are essentially mute against him. He is amazing at winning the ball and then has the pace to beat most if not all midfielders to push it forward. Even players like Gullit will struggle to catch him due to the 99 pace. It's disturbing how useful it is this year to have high pace mids and Lala is NO slack when it comes to this.

This card is nowhere near perfect though. There is a couple of issues. 3* 3* is not the best and can be a let down. The card SUCKS as a striker, for some reason. I tried a hunter and a hawk, both were awful, don't bother. It's dribbling is not the best, there are better for tight spaces (like freeze Aouar/87 ben yedder) and it's not brilliant in the air for headers, which is a downfall this year where goal kicks are POWERFUL.


Overall, if you did this card and you still have it, and you don't know what to do with it, try it as a midfielder, you might find the thing that pushes your team forward another rank. Because Kenny Lala CAN do that.

Easy to pass to, is everywhere, 91 positioning really shows when going forward.

99 Pace on shadow, nobody gets away from him.

Surprisingly good at tackling.

Insane tackling

Very strong, bullies lots of weaker forwards

Insane Passing

90 Stamina

Would probably be a very good wide winger with the high positioning, good vision and 95 crossing (some people love their low crosses)

3* 3*.

Was quite pricey for the card. (I paid 125k)

Awful as a forward. Absolutely awful. Don't know why.

Not the best at dribbling in tight spaces.

King crosser LALA

First review due to the injustice of the only other review here! So mister Lala, yeah he is no neymar or dirty alessandrini but he is a different kind of player and you kind of got to know that. So in my team with baby rio, baby cantona, mid nedved, baby kaka, mid keane and other main defensive golds RM/RWB was an issue (in the 442(2) and 352). I had red Rashford (solid but crossing is meh, mix between there and st with him...

Disaster

I wonder if anybody would read this.I wonder if anybody has done this SBC except me.I quite frankly don't know why I did it myself, but let's get to the review.Kenny Lala is a great player in real life and I think he's severely underrated, but in FIFA, especially this RM version, he's awful.I used him in 3-5-2 formation with the hope that he will serve as a winger as well as a defender who comes ...

Truck with feet

Hear me out. Yes the stats are not outstanding but in game he is a marksman in distribution. His strength helps him body fullbacks to track behind him using the left trigger on through balls. But I do tend to get out ran a lot. His finishing is not a problem, his shot power is so good that once the ball leaves his foot if its on target its a great chance at goal. His agility is not great, he's not a "saucy" or "slippery" wi...
