Player Review
89 - Icon
From the first (and only) base icon pack I've done on fifa 21, I got very lucky when I got Puskas. I've used him ever since and he's been used in many formations such as 4231,433,352,442,4222. (the team linked is just my current team) and he has always been the left striker. I've been in every division from 5-2 ,
The review:
First and foremost, his shooting is unfair. He can shoot from anywhere and make it look reasonable, he's deadly in a 1 on 1 with the keeper and his finesse shots are great. But, he does only have a 3* WF, and as such it can be a pain trying to keep it on his left foot. This, and the fact that he misses the occasional sitter (not really his fault, fifa is just sh*t sometimes) means shooting is 9/10
One of his more surprising attributes for me was his dribbling, its very very good. He is short and not strong so having good technical ability allows him to keep the ball where a player such as Mertens would probably lose it. Additionally his 4* skills make it easy enough to take on players, because he can do the Berba spin, rainbow flick, la croqueta etc. overall dribbling 9/10
Pace is arguably the most important stat on fifa, particularly for a striker. Players like Harry Kane and Luis Suarez are normally just overlooked because they're too slow. Puskas' pace is enough to suffice, however towards the end of the game (when all CB's will have 85+ pace) he may become obsolete. Ether way at the moment his pace is fine, nothing ridiculous but still plenty (despite the fact that he is still caught regularly by Gomez and Varane) pace is a solid 8/10
Passing is (in my opinion) the most underrated stat on fifa for a striker. The ability to pass is so crucial because you never know when you'll have to find a long range pass to a winger or something. Generally Puskas' passing is reliable but sometimes he can be quite dissapointing. All things considered, he couln't play CM but luckily he doesn;t have to, passing 7/10
Defending doesnt matter, either way his defending sucks 4/10
Puskas doesn't look like a strong player being 5'7 and all... and he's not. He weak as piss and theres no dancing around it. His height is the main cause for this. The reason Mbappe is so good (apart from pace and stuff) is becuase he's 5'10. Puskas just doesn't have this and his lack of jumping doesn't help this. His stamina is nothing special and aggression is a bit low. Physical is probably the worst part of his game (except defending of course) so physical can get a 3/10
Overall, Puskas has been my best player this fifa and he is great, he does have some disappointing attributes, but who doesn't? I would never recommend buying him however. Considering he's like 1.3m+ you could buy this team https://www.futbin.com/21/squad/6753330 . So if you get him from a pack like I did, use him, but i couldn't say that I recommend spending millions on him.
