Lethal inside the box

By RSMD15, 01-03-2021

Have been using Mid-Crespo for the last month and a half with Hunter chem style, so it is quite late for this version of the card to be doing damage, but he is simply clinical inside the box. He is on over 220 goals in just under 130 games played (something like 30 goals are from SB) and is simply a joy to play. He is not rapid, but he is fast enought to explore the space between two defenders and strong enought to win most one-on-ones with L2. Furthermore, if you prefere to play on the counter he can make the difference as long as he has someone fast near him to give speed to the attack as a role, but he himself can carry the odd counter alone, just don't expect Mbappe speed here.

His passing is very good for what i ask of him, but he won't be lobbing long balls nor is he going to make every single first touch pass, so doing a one-two to get in behind can be tricky sometimes.

In regards to his finishing, it is simply amazing! He is able to turn anything near the goal into a goal and needs just a bit of space to do it. I wouldn't recomend trying to bend the ball too much with him, but he is absolutelly lethal if you can shoot with the outside of the foot or simply power through a ball. The best part here is that he is also very good in the air. 85 jumping and 89 heading Acc. show themselfs when you get him running towards the goal and cross the ball, as he will be able to challenge (and win) against the Varanes and VVDs in life.

As a conclusion, this late in the game there are better strikers, but if you want to try a legend out for a relative cheap price, I can assure you that Mid-Crespo is your man.

Very good finisher inside the box

Heading is very strong, will score from crosses

Fast enough for a playstyle that doesn't require the main striker to run for his life

His passing could be better

Not as fast as some people might want their striker to be

Isn't Mbappe, will sometimes be unable to drible his way out of trouble

Crespo 9.25/10

I needed a second striker and I landed on 87 Crespo. I thought his stats looked really good for only 630k and I pulled the trigger with about 15 matches left in my Rivals week. I played 10 with Crespo as a striker in a 2 striker and lone striker set up. I ended up getting promoted to Division 3 and halfway to Division 2 in those 10, while also reaching rank 1 with Crespo playing a large role in my success. He ended up with ...

THE MONSTER

Where do I start? Hernan Crespo is the definition of a complete striker in Fifa 21. To give you an idea of the skill level I'm at I am at around 1800 MMR in Rivals and a consistent Gold 3 player. Hernan changed the WL for me. Him alone at striker got my Gold 2 this weekend, 18-10, my best ever finish. He transformed my team. I have a 1.3 million coin tea without including untradeable so I was originally unsure if I wanted ...
