88 - FUT Future Stars
Right around when future stars came out, I was lucky enough to pack this card in my icon swaps 83+ x25 pack. Immediately I was excited to try him out. I played for the first 2-3 games in the LAM position in a 4-2-3-1 narrow, and if I said I was disappointed it would be an understatement. He was AWFUL. Dribbling was horrible, crossing was poor, and pace was lackluster. Then, in the 4th game, my CAM got injured, and I only had wingers on my bench. I moved Szobo to the CAM position, and OMG HE WAS INCREDIBLE. His finesse shots were fantastic, great positioning, decent dribbling, good strength to hold of the CBs, and splendid passing, all with that deadeye chemistry style. He was unplayable. After that, I played him in CAM every game and for all of the time he was in my squad he was splendid. Now for the specifics:
Pace: 8.7/10
Because szobo is such a big boy, he seems a bit slow, but for the CAM position, the 93 pace is perfectly usable. It was definitely enough to accelerate past the likes of Varane in a quick dash, but he won't be able to maintain it for long.
Shooting: 9.5/10
This mans shots are so powerful it's like a bullet into the back of the net. With the deadeye chemistry style, he has 99 shot power and almost perfect finishing. His attack positioning in the CAM position was amazing, and his finishing was mostly consistent. What surprised me most was how crisp he took finesse shots from outside the box. He was my go-to guy for an outside the box finesse, and lots of drop back teams have been punished for giving him space on the edge of the box.
Passing 9.6/10
In my CAMs, what I look for is good passing, and that szobo definitely has, with perfect vision and short passing, as well as beautiful long passing and curve, this man could do it all when making a play, with long field switches to splendid through balls, making him an ideal CAM.
Dribbling: 9.0/10
Now, with this guy being pretty big in game, his dribbling isn't the best, and without any upgrades to the dribbling department, at time she can feel clunky. If you need an absolutely silky player, he is not the guy for you. However, his close control dribbling is very good, and because of his good strength, he can retain the ball by shielding it particularly well.
Defending: N/A
Physicality: 8.9/10
This boy is pretty strong, and he won't get pushed off the ball easily. He also has decent jumping, so he can get to the crosses and has ok heading accuracy to tuck those chances away. His stamina may run out towards the 75th minute, but most of the time it is fine. The aggression is also ok.
All in all, if you need a RB Leipzig link or just need a top quality CAM from the Bundesliga, this is your guy, and now for a pretty cheap price, I think it is a steal. Thanks for reading.
