I've been using Haaland as a lone striker in a 4231 whilst playing in Rivals DIV.2

This man is an absolute beast. He is tall, strong, clinical, and fast. He is a tank as a lone striker who shoots rockets with both left and right. He is literally a machine. However, that's all he is and does. He can the most ridiculous overhead kick in the first minute of the game only to miss a two meters pass seconds later.

If you are looking into buying Haaland, you should know that he does what his job is on the pitch. Score goals. He cannot, however, dribble or pass. He feels stiff on the ball as soon as the direction changes from straight forward, do not even think about doing anything other than playing short passes back to a CAM or CM.

However, if used right. He will score a lot of goals. Which is what I was looking for when I brought him into my team. He is extremely dangerous once he has passed the backline and get to use his strength to shield the ball. This man is a target striker that passes the ball back to a CAM before turning on the jets and heading straight towards the goal. And once in, he doesn't miss.

This man is simple. A finisher. If you are looking for someone to have inside the box and finish your shots, this is your man. His pace is fantastic. Due to his Dribbling stats already being a bit low, I just simply put a Hunter on him to abuse his high Sprint Speed high Shooting. It didn't disappoint. Once he gets the ball and is able to make his run forward he is gone not only that but due to his 92 Strength, when that Joe Gomez catches up, Haland will have no issues bodying him out. The biggest disappointment about Haland is he just feels heavy. Understandable, 75 Agility and 67 Balance. However I was able to look past that and enjoy his strongest attributes. Keep his instruction at Stay Forward because he does have High/High workrates. I know the 3 Star 3 Star set doesn't please people but for some odd reason when reviewing this card I did not feel the WF issues at all. In fact he scored 2 absolute beauties with the right foot so I was pleasantly surprised.

The way this guy plays blows my mind every time. Incredible, finding space all the time, always in a good position and when he's 1v1 the keeper can't help but fall to his knees and as Jesus to help. He is so quick and has an extreme shot, especially with a Hunter. He also has great ball control, stamina and is very strong so he can get through basically any defense. Only bad thing I have experienced is that despite being 6'4 he can't score a header if Alfie's life was depending on it. He is simply so bad at heading, but has a lot of other qualities to make up for the only weakness.

This guy is insane. He scored me 43 Goals and 19 assists in 23 games (5 Division Rivals Ranking, 5 Division 3 and 10 Division 2).

He always stands right and outperforms Sane by far.

Hopefully he will get an Inform, which i can#t afford anyways.

I packed him untradeable and immediately added him into my squad. To my surprise he was god awful. I tried him in many different formations and systems (4222, 41212(2), 4231) with all sorts of varying role players around him, yet each time he was complete garbage. He failed to make runs despite my instructions and manual control input, and on the rare occasion he did make one he was easily outpaced or muscled off the ball. Despite being 6'4, even when it came to crossing he was miserable; and rarely won headers over the starter low quality cb's. I had far more success with the likes of Malen, and Jonathan David who on the market are 1-3% of the sum Haland would cost.
