Player Review
83 - IF
My god did I cream my pants when i saw him in the totw. His storyline card last year was just everything you want in a big striker. So I wasn't surprised when he started scoring every shot. His high/high work rates are quite useful as he comes back to receive the ball and lay it off to runners. But as soon as he gets the ball with his back to the goal, you can turn either way and just rip an absolute thunder strike. One thing I'd recommend is trying him with a catalyst at first, and if you don't like how he plays then switch to a hunter. His passing is noticeably bad, not sure why EA thinks he has the passing ability of an unplugged gamecube.
Shooting - either foot is just a cannon, if he's in the box it's more than likely going to be a goal
Hold up play - he combos really well with a fast striker (I use papu gomez) and they're like peanut butter and jelly. Is very good with his back to the goal in the box.
Attack positioning - makes good runs which is great so you don't have to player lock him to make manual runs.
Headers - wins an excessive amount of headers from goal kicks
Pace - with a hunter, feels rather quick
Passing - for some reason EA thinks a professional player is incapable of playing a pass further than 4 meters, and they made it very hard to do anything other than short tiki taka passing. His long passing is a 45 and it's so obviously horrendous in-game.
Dribbling - 81 agility as a lie, this guy feels like he's in quicksand (could've been trash servers because, you know, ea and weekend league). He's decent when it comes to ball rolls and such but, left stick dribbling is like turning a a flipped canoe on pavement.
Long shots - Other than a finesse shot, you won't be scoring anything outside of the box with his 69 (nice) long shots.
