91 - ShowDown SBC
5.0
Amazing Striker
By colesak, 05-07-2021

This guy has been an absolute steal for me since placing him into my lineup. People are going to bash his work rates or his pacing not being top tier. But for me the style of gameplay works perfectly.


DISCLAIMER: I love to use a La Liga sqaud, just a personal preference not saying that this is the best at all option out there. I also am a huge advocate on chemistry (both team and player). I feel that there is a big difference in how the AI interacts the the player benefits in game is incredible. Also to be honest if you are a bad player at FIFA having the best players in the game helps, but in no way is a guarantee that you will win. So understanding that I hope that the review helps.


He is an absolute banger from outside of the box. I personally prefer the HAWK Chemistry style which puts his shooting stats at 98 overall (only one that is below 90 is penalties (but I use other players for penalties) His dribbling is excellent in tight spaces and he really can maneuver his way through the box. With the HAWK the added benefit of the jumping and strength really helps his aerial game. He is quite effective for someone of his size and his speed helps him to out run defenders. Now bear in mind speed when dribbling is considerably slower than when without the ball, which is the case with everyone, speed dribblers included; so speedy defenders may catch him. However, with some skill moves and/or switching to his 4* weak foot he does fine. I love cutting back with him and hitting the bender (99 long shots, 99 curve) around the keeper to the far post.


The work rates work great for my 4-3-3 (4) formation. I typically play extremely defensive. Even then, I have no trouble countering and he is always in a great position to counter and get behind the defense for the break. Even using him as the point man to have him hold in the center and swing the ball to the wings or send the give and go to my CAM. Work rates, when you understand them can be extremely useful if your play style suits those particular rates. I've used High/High work rates for ST and these players are just always out of position and offsides for me. So if they work for you great. If you have him and your absolutely cannot deal with them then swap up the tactics and/or change formations a bit.

Pace and Shooting, absolute beast with the Hawk Chem Style
