Player Review
87 - TOTS
I write this in anticipation of the Ligue 1 TOTS. When they do release and you pla on rounding off your squad with a striker orr connecting some nice TOTS Lique 1 players with TOTS Kean for chemistry, I say please save your coins and look elsewhere. I known he's only 34k, but that's 34k you can save by not getting him.
I packed him tradeable when the Community TOTS came out. After 10 WL games he never made it back to the squad, let alone the bench. After the weekend, I though about selling him for 50k, but decided to throw him into an SBC instead. I think by putting him into an SBC and reducing the total number of TOTS Keans available, I am doing this game a favor.
First off, I have no hate against Kean personally. I actually am rooting for success for him at PSG and I think he has great potential. My issue is this TOTS card the geniuses at EA gave him. In all honesty, it feels the same as his Silver TOTW card (which is a great card for a silver).
Lets break it down:
Pace - It's not 93. It feels like 87. It just seems like he takes a half second to get going and once he has the ball he just feels slow.
Shooting: 3* WF is a lie. He can't score to save his life with his left foot. Passing is even worse.
Passing: This is the ultimate let down. I know he has 76 passing, but he has 80 short passing, it cannot be this bad. He suffers to make the simplest passes in game. Multiple clear opportunities squandered because Kean couldn't get a pass to connect.
Dribbling: Really Weird. He feels stocky and clunky with the ball, but he really should't with just an average body type and 87 agility and 91 balance. Incredibly inconsistent when performing skill moves. Yes he only has 3* stars, but moves are available to him, such as directional nutmeg, he just can't seem to pull off consistently.
the closest player in terms of feel is weirdly enough Moments Kluivert. Clunky, a bit slow, and just inconsistent with skill moves. Kluivert can pass a bit better and has 5* WF.
Go get IF Ben Yedder if you need aLigue 1 striker for 35k. There's SIF Depay too at 40k. Need a true striker? Go get Future Stars David. Outside of Ligue 1 there's SIF Boadu, who feels way better on the ball, a better finisher, 5*WF and is half the price.
Anyway, save your money, many more Ligue 1 choices. Even at the rock bottom price of 34k TOTS Kean is a bad value.
- Great links, just sub him off quick
- Not worth the money
- Can't score
- Can't Pass
- Feels clunkier and heavier than he should
- 93 pace is a lie
