90 - TOTS SBC
3.5
Fun card but surprisingly underwhelming
By harmar99, 30-04-2021

The first thing I thought when I saw this card was PHWOARRRRRRRR and for an 82 w/if and an 84 squad, I just had to complete it. Everything about it screamed OP at me and considering how much I liked his Future Stars card last year, I had very high expectations. I played him in 41212(2) alongside Dalglish at striker with Eto'o in behind at CAM - I chose to play him there since Dalglish is slower and would allow Eto'o and Sarr to overlap.

With 99 pace, he is (obviously) insanely fast and outruns pretty much everyone on the game. Combine this with his amazing strength and he is an absolute beast when latching onto the end of through balls and will very rarely be shoved off the ball.

Shooting-wise, you very rarely notice the 3-star weak foot due to how high his shooting stats are already. He shoots almost as well as Eto'o and no matter where you shoot from there's a very high chance of it going in.

However, although I have my appraisals for this card, I feel as if there's one big thing that lets this card down quite drastically and that's his dribbling. 4-star skills is no bother whatsoever, but his overall dribbling for me feels very clunky. Personally, I think being 6'1 is the reason for this and ruins the card for me since I feel as soon as he has to hold up the ball and can't break through the defensive line, he doesn't have much going for him.

Currently, he sits as a super-sub in my team, but I prefer to bring on Flashback Alessandrini than Sarr purely because I feel he has better dribbling.

That being said, for the price he is, it is definitely worth it if you are looking for a fun card to use. However, this card is valued correctly and if it was priced higher it would be an over-valued sbc.

Pace - insanely fast

Shooting - always on target, weak foot rarely noticed

Stamina

Value - good for a fun card

Strength

Links - very few links available

Dribbling - feels rather clunky and turns a bit like a truck for me

Hold up play - unless he's breaking past the defensive line he doesn't do very well

The super sub of dreams - The Nightmare

I mean, his stats are there so there isn't much for me to say. He is crazy fast, crazy strong, hes got an amazing shot. Very good dribbling and 4* sm is alright. Links wise he is very bad but tbf you are gonna use him as a sub anyway. I'm not a pace merchant in anyway so I kinda don't like using him/ It just feels wrong. But I couldn't not get this card tbh seens as he is only 100k!!!

Way too cheap

To start off I'd like to point out how insanely cheap this beast is, an 82 rated squad with an inform and an 84 rated squad is all it takes! I did him with random stuff in my club and even if I had to pay the full SBC price again I'd do it again instantly. I played him as a LS in the 4-1-2-1-2...
