96 - TOTS

One Hunky Boi :)

Really good card. I would say that I am an average player (gold 3-2) and he overall improved my squad by loads. I'm still making my adjustments in the squad here and there but generally I was content with where my team is currently at, which is to say that before I got Lukaku, my team was end game quality for me. I normally play a 4-4-2 with suarez and martinez in front, replaced martinez with Lukaku. He makes very good runs and beats even pacey full backs as long as he has a good starting run. I also found his four star skill move to be very helpful while attacking since I can add in more variations to disrupt defenders' expectations. The skill move upgrade definitely helps with the passing stats since I feel like he makes a ton of good assists. Dribbling wise, his body control is still quite clunky sometimes; I have TOTS Cuadrado in comparison, and while they have close enough dribbling stats, the body type and height really makes a difference. Thus, I would really recommend this card for those who want to add this to an already solid/agile attacking team, since he cannot make the same kind of contributions as say a TOTS Martinez or Muriel. That said, if you do have better players around him, he will help make your team shine.

I'm sure those reading this review won't find what I wrote above surprising, so I'm going to end the review by giving some unique aspects I found with him in my squad. In the attacking third, he is very good at holding the ball under pressure. The upgraded balance and agility means that he will pivot around the ball according defenders pressuring him really quickly, but unless you have other players planning to make runs off of the hold up play, don't expect him to confidently directional meg his way to a 1v1 with the goal keeper.

-Good agility, balance, and ball control for a target man.

-4*W 4*SM

-Very solid passing

-Reliable in front of goal

-Offers stability in attacking third

-Stamina

-Won't shine if you don't have the correct players around him

-Sometimes lack the aggression to push aside CBs to make way for the big boi

THE ABSOLUTE UNIT OF A MAN

My goodness. Where do I begin. I have always loved Romelu Lukaku. The name is fun to say, he's the definition of a tank, and the tenacity IRL is the stuff of legends. I have however, struggled to effectively use him in Fifa. I've found his past versions to be clunky, and a fairly one dimensional "Power Striker." I was shocked to get Lukaku in my 4th player pick, and while he didn't fit my squad at the time, after a few game...

The complete striker!

If I would have to label one card as a complete striker, it would be Summer Stars Lukaku. I acquired this card and used him to complete the weekend league and he's been terrific! Let me say, it's already pretty difficult to express how crazy he is. First of all, it's tricky to pin down Lukaku's main strength. This guy is rapid, strong, an elite finisher, and his passing is top tier for a striker. Use his physicality...

Big Rom

All ill say is this, if you only use meta players and your defence is Mendy, Varane, Gomez and Semedo this guy probably isn't the best for you. This doesn't mean he's bad though. I'm only a div 3 player so i guess my opinion isn't the best but he is by far the most fun player I've played with in a while on FIFA in general and definitely my favourite in FIFA 21. If you want a fun player ...
