El Matador

By Unleashed93, 12-03-2021

Luis Hernandez is a really fun card to use in game. He has a lot of positive attributes, but these also a few downfalls if not used correctly. It took me several games to understand the value he offers, but once this happened he is an absolute joy to play with! I use him with a Hawk chemistry style as the RS in a 5-2-1-2. I have Moments Zola at LS and Rooney at CAM. Players who can pass and move efficiently like the two I use really helps to hide some of El Matador's cons.

I label his play style as a "straight-line runner". Play a ball into his feet, short pass the ball back to the CAM or another ST and send him through the CB gap with a solid through ball. Trying to play any other way with him will show his cons. He needs to be used in a two striker formation; his passing and hold-up play just is not good enough to leave him on his own. I'll detail his pros and cons below.

Pace: (8/10) - He is really quick, but can take a second to get up to his top speed. He is quick when you send direct runs straight at goal behind the CBs. He doesn't feel super meta, so quick turns, etc. don't occur successfully every time with him.

Shooting: (9/10) - His shooting is his premier trait. He shoots with power, but don't try to finesse with him. Power shots far post or near post are what you have to do, but he hits them consistently.

Attack Positioning: (8.5/10) - He has solid positioning, no complaints here - he makes several runs on his own; however, I suggest triggering runs straight at the keeper to utilize his full potential.

Weak Foot: 4* - Yes I know it says 3*, but he plays like a 4* in game with his shooting. He consistently hits power shots with his weak foot. Where the 3* weakfoot shows is in his passing - he cannot pass consistently with his left.

Dribbling: (6/10) - His first touch isn't necessarily the worst; however, he can be a little difficult to turn. His lack of skills and dribbling attributes makes him feel slightly "bigger" in game.

Passing: (5/10) - Passing is his most disappointing trait. Play short A balls back to your other forwards as soon as you can with this player. He isn't going to slot others through. Zola & Rooney do the passing work for me, so it covers up Luis's lack of passing.

such a beautiful human beeing

First off all i bought him because of his hair and let me tell you this card looks beautiful in the game. The second reason was i wanted a Striker for 1.4mil because i wasnt that happy with Mid Icon Dalglish. And after a few games im much happier with him than with Dalglish.

I wanted to like this card but I found myself making excuses for him too many times + he embarrassed me in friendlies by having a disasterclass. Overall he is useable but for nearly a mil you want more than useable. He made good runs and is fast but his dribbling lets him down as he somehow manages to be both heavy and weak. His shooting was very inconsistent even on his stronger foot but he always had plenty of power. I wo...
