Let me set the scene, I have 11 Packs saved for TOTY, because you're probably more likely to win the lottery then pack one of these so I didn't bother going crazy. I open the untradeable rare mega you get get from the rival wins objective. I'm thinking it's a ucl (I didn't even see the different flair)… Polish... Striker. I started hyperventilating. Never in my 7 years of Ultimate Team ever had a TOTY in my club.

Anyways, Where do I start. Both of his Feet are CANNONS. Literally doesn't even seem like he has 4* WF. Sometimes it's slightly noticeable with players like Mbappe. However with Lewa it's going in 99.9% of the time. His shooting is honestly a cheat code. A Finesse shot from outside of the box will almost go top bins every time. You can also get away with shooting from crazy angles because again, they'll find a way in he's that good.

In terms of his other attributes, with an Engine, he has crazy smooth dribbling. This caught me off guard, since he doesn't have Lean body type and isn't small; I thought despite his stats he wouldn't be super amazing on the ball because of his height and build, but like Mbappe, CR7 and Neymar he has that invisible force field around him and can easily create chances to get a shot off.

His passing is Immaculate, nothing much else to say.

The physicals speak for the selves. He jumps like there's no tomorrow on the front post and can actually fend off the big beefy defends like Rio and Varane.

Also would like to mention he has his own sexy free kick and penalty run up style.

All of the games played were Div 1 (2100 SR) and champs. He is definitely a player that will elevate your game. Games I would win 2-0 usually, I find I'm scoring 3 or 4 because his finishing is just that much better than the rest. In terms of the complete striker I don't think you could ask for much more from him other than 5* Skills and WF. The price tag is definitely justified. I would argue he is the most complete striker in the game behind TOTY CR7.

I was lucky enough to get this card in the 84+ player pick. I used him for 3 matches on rivals as the connection was horrible to play champs and he scored 10 goals. I got to say I'm not a pro but not too bad and I chill in div 3. I usually get many chances and then blew them because my strikers missing or just not being creative enough but whit Robert all it takes to score is to shot. I am almost certain that I did not miss a single shot that could go in. His heading and physical is also perfect, he out headed Ramos and VVD in a corner.

Okay, so let's start with why I decided to buy this card, well it's fairly obvious I am from Poland and I am proud to see Robert getting his TOTY card for the first time, obviously well deserve, although a bit disappointed he is not 99 rated, but that is minor. Let's get to the actual review! (Oh, as I mentioned before, I am from Poland so please excuse if something is not written very clear)

Pace - Lewandowski is quick, much much quicker than on his gold, or even IF/SIF card. As you probably know, he won't be able to outpace Varane or Mendy but he is much quicker than you expect. If you've played with his golden card you probably were shooting from outside a box since through balls towards him were hopeless, when it comes to his TOTY card, you can feel free to actually do it.

Shooting - Surprisingly more than I expected, shooting from inside a box? That's going to be a goal. Shooting from outside a penalty box? That is going to be a goal as well. Shooting with his weak foot? No problem, out of like 10-15 games I played with him, he only missed the goal twice using his left foot. Also worth mentioning his traits which is Finesse shot and from outside foot. Headers are also surprisingly good, no he isn't better than Ronaldo at headers, but you can easily direct the ball at him rather than your tall defenders, he just got something special in it.

Passing - Well, now we are going to talk about passing. To be completely honest, his passing is good, however I did not test it properly, because I've been playing 5-3-2 and the "best" pass I could possibly make was of a distance 9-12meters, so yes passes are accurate. Free kicks are actually very very good, he reminds me of Alex Telles TOTS in Fifa 19. I always scored with him a free kick, and in this fifa with Lewandowski TOTY, although I am quite bad at set pieces, he scored 8 free kicks out of 20 possible. Obviously if you are master at it, the statistics will be much better. ( OHH Forgot to mention, I am division 4 player at 1400 Rating and 10 games were played in DR, 3 in Fut champs)

Dribbling - Lewandowski's agility could be improved with a chemistry style, as its quite low, but the ball control is just amazing the ball is stuck to his foot. Compulsory is also great, he can finish it perfectly whilst having 2 defenders behind him and its 119th minute :). Not much else to say, since I only use bridge and ball roll to be honest, and sometimes drag back. Lewandowski can perform tricks easily.

Defending - You might call me crazy, but I did actually try to play him as a CM in 4-4-2 alongside Kante, and Lewandowski due to his posture can actually tackle the ball quite easily despite his low defending stats.

Physicality - Last but not least, how good is he when it comes to physicality you might wonder? My answer is, he is very good just how the card shows. He is very very strong, hard to get the ball away from him, if you press L1/LB with a good timing. He can jump very high as well, so if you are a timewaster (I do not recommend to do it and like to pass to your players over and over with L1/LB Square/X, then yes Lewandowski will be perfect for that. His stamina is alright, you can easily play him for 90 minutes if you are not overusing team pressure, however you might struggle to play him for 120 mins. Although if you are still drawing and its like 2-3 minutes left of ET, you might want to leave him for penalties, which are superior btw :).

I packed TOTY Lewandowski in a 75+ Rare Gold Player pack from the TOTY 12th Man Messi Objectives. Almost needed a new pair of pants. I'm by no means a phenomenal FIFA player, I consistently hop between div 3 and 4. This card is insane. I have base icon Ronaldo in a strike partnership with the Polish striker and Lewa outshines him easily. Haven't used him for very long but what's not to like? Seriously if you look at this card and pick holes you shouldn't be allowed to play FUT ever again.

I was lucky enough to pack Lewandowski out of the 84+pp on the first night of TOTY, so just in time for weekend league. Over the 30 games he was so consistent, aside from a few games which I blame to EA scripting, but all in all he is such a solid striker. He's fast, not freeze Maximin/Mbappe fast but he is so close, probably due to his height and body type but his strength makes up for it as 9/10 he just bodies defenders off the ball. Yes, even Varane. 9/10 of his shots are bats outta hell and no keeper has any chance of saving, but there can be an odd one or two which looks like he's hit it with his little toe but somehow they manage to still go in, he's just a GOAL machine to put it lightly. His passing is average, sometimes looks like a prime Pirlo without the greasy hair but others looks like a prime Joe Allen. Don't get me started on his heading, I never released EA added the "Take a step ladder into the box" trait because this guy jumps so high and headers most balls in, if you get a good cross into him of course. Lastly his dribbling is something Messi would be proud of, but not as good as Messi, no one is as good as Messi. I recommend playing a small agile striker with him, for example like a Freeze Maximin or any agile/fast/sweaty/op/meta striker of your choice. I use baby Pele, an average striker. But if you thinking of buying him, I recommend 100%. Just give him a chance if you've packed him, he takes a few games getting used to, TRUST ME.
