92 - TIF

4.0

Underrated striker

By ricage, 07-04-2021

I get this card out of one of my first packs to start building my team as a non-tradable, so I feel forced to start building the team around him, I have changed my team several times, also playing with other stikers, but at the end I have finally built a competitive team with him up front.

I think that he is a very underrated striker, only because he doesn't have a breakout pace, but trust me he is a very good forward if you get comfortable with. I play him as a central striker in 433 with 2 CDM and 1 CM, he links with Messi and Demebele IF and with Pogba 88 IF at midfield. Putting him hawk and playing with false 9 tactic he is a very solid striker.

His better areas are the shot and the physicality in my opinion. This guy has dynamite in both foots, great curve and very accurate in voleys, but also very effective in protecting and handle the ball and exceptional in headers. His better quality for me is that he is very difficult to be makred by defenders without the ball, because he moves effectively all around the offensive end and also in midfield. he is also a pretty good first defender in pressing.

As I said before he is not pacey but very effective in cutting behind defenders in the last meters. His passing is a little bit overrated by his stats, because when off balance he sometimes miss passes.

I don't know if I would invested in him if I haven't found him in packs, but overall I will run with him as my main striker. Recommended!

Supreme shooting (power, finishing, curve, volleys)
Feels like 5 star WF
Strength, headers
Ball control, decent dribbling in narrow spaces

Overrated passing
Pace (if you want a fast striker)

But this year he is really meta !!! Its really fun to score goals with him. He is Not the fasted stri...

He cant miss

I got this guy in my 84+ player pick. So i wanted ti try him and he is insane. I play him as a cam in a 4-1-2-1-2(2) and he cant miss almost every shot goes in his shot power is insane and his headers are so good. I almost scored every corner it is like cheeting. His shooting is like R9 but he is not that fast but as a cam he is OK and his dribbling is also not the best. His pas...

ANGEL FALLEN FROM HEAVEN

this man is the perfect false 9 or CAM for the specific people, people will be thrown off by his low balance or pace but use him correctly and he'll amaze you, fast pace passing with him being at the centre is how you should build up, he shoudnt be a lone striker as he doesnt have the pace to go round defenders without doing a bridge or directional bridge (however his attacking positioning means hes always making perfect ru...
