Player Review
85 - FUT Birthday
When FUT Birthday came out this guy was the only one I wanted, I waited until his price dropped as much as it did to around 38K. I got him and I put him in my squad because I needed an out-and-out striker- someone who is fast, can shoot and dribble, with good passing as well, along with decent physical. This guy seemed like he had it all. And he did. He was unbelievable. 70 goal contributions in 50 games speaks for itself but lets go more narrowed down.
Pace 9.1/10
This guy is FAST, but because of the way this game is, the fullbacks at CB with 99 pace will be faster than him, however, against Varane he has sprinted by him many times before and will do the job for you in terms of getting in behind.
Shooting 9.3/10
This guy's shooting was actually pretty good. With 99 finishing it could be expected, and it was phenomenal for the price, and 48 goals in 50 games is just mind-blowing. Some games his shooting may seem to be poor, and then boom, he pops with a brace by full-time. His 5 star weak foot also feels like it I game, as he will finish the chance sixth either foot. Overall, very good shooting,
Passing 7.6/10
Now the stats seem very good for his passing, but I have had do many attacks broken down just because this guy cannot play a normal 5 yard through ball past the defender to my other players running through. His passing is very meh, and that is why he can't really play any other position besides striker.
Dribbling 9.5/10
Now many people may not agree with this, but I think this card dribbled phenomenally. His close control and left stick dribbling was always smooth, and while people may whine about the body type and skill moves, I felt that it was perfectly fine, and since I don't use skill moves anyway, it didn't really matter to me. Because of this guy's silky dribbling, so many opportunities had been created for my team, and since his shooting is pretty good, he has taken quite a few of them as well.
Defending 5.2/10
Well I guess heading accuracy is a part of defining, but his heading is very hit and miss, but he can score those basic sitters. Other than that not much really to be said about his defending.
Physicality 7.4/10
His jumping is world class. He can get to the ball, but the chance of him heading the ball in the right direction is unlikely to say the least. It is not bad by any means, but it is not good either. His strength is OK, he will get bodied time and again, but he can definitely hold his own at times.
Overall this is a very good card for its value, and if you need a player to deliver the goods while you gather funds for your team, this is the guy for you. Thanks for reading!!!
