98 - Summer Stars
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 to your advantage and you've arguably got yourself the best striker in the game. I play him on the left side in a 41212(2). His positioning is insane, and I've never enjoyed triggering runs with a striker as much as I have with Lukaku.
I have to point out how cheap this card is for what you get. Honestly, if this card were double the price, it wouldn't phase me. So, if you have the coins, buy him! If you manage to pack him, enjoy!
- Pace/physicality- This combo alongside his body type makes him stand out as a unique striker who ultimately possesses the most desirable aspects of a forward. Essentially, he makes the most insane runs, but if it turns out that a defender catches up, he can easily hold up play/out strengthen them.
- Shooting- Lukaku has ridiculous finishing. He rarely misses chances. I've finished near and far post on the left side, so if you have this card, you know you've got yourself a finisher.
- Passing- For a striker, he has awesome passing due to his vision/short passing. Using an engine so this is even more noticeable.
- Dribbling- With his body type, his dribbling might not look as neat as Mbappe's, but it's still amazing and I can't really complain, he's not clunky at all. Defo use an engine to boost his balance.
- No con's at all- if I'd have to be picky I would say that he's missing a 5*, but I don't really care, I'm enjoying this card so much.
