Player Review
93 - Icon Moment
I packed him from my 92+ Prime Icon Moments Pack. At first I was disappointed but when I looked at his Stats I felt better.
I played him in a 4-3-3 (4) with Lozano and El Shaarawy on the Wings.
I tried a Hawk Chemstyle at first but decided to switch to an Engine to get the Curve Shot boost!
An I played him for one Weekend League (the most challenging WL for my mental health)
In 29 games he:
- Scored 35 goals
- Assisted 7 goals
But don't let that deceive you, he had about 7 times more chances than goals
I will change him for a better striker from now on and only will touch him for objective challenges. However if you don't have links for Lozano, Corona, etc. you can use him and sub him off in the first minute
Here are his honest Pros and Cons, with no exaggerations:
- He gives a great strong link to Lozano (and surely more usable Mexican Players)
- His freekicks are really strong and even with yellow time finish mostly precise
- Solid stamina, he is pretty durable but nevertheless you should sub him off at minute 60 because he won't help you win (I suggest Isak Objective)
- He deserves his 96 shooting in no way or form - He shot like a Silver Player... in One on Ones against the Keeper he either chips it with a 50/50 chance of going in, he hits the keeper or he misses.. no chance with a curve shot, few success with chips, not any slight chance of shooting without curve or chip (? I would honestly give him 78 shooting)
- He deserves his 95 pace in no way or form - Even with an Engine Chemstyle he gets outran by Players like Kante or Makélélé (I would honestly give him 82 pace)
- He deserves his 93 dribbling in no way or form - He moves like a Skyscraper an if you want to run with the ball he loses it 9 out of 10 times (I would honestly give him 75 dribbling)
Other Stats he doesn't deserve:
- Heading Accuracy 94 (should be 85)
- Jumping 90 (should be 75)
- Curve 88 (should be 70)
- Volleys 99 (should be 85)
- Finishing 97 (should be 60)
- Reactions 91 (should be 80)
