I got my hands on this beast early in the game this year. Been using him for almost a week now and i can confirm that he is one of the most complete strikers in the game at the moment. His pace and dribbling feel really good in game. His passing and physicality for a ST are clearly very good, the stats don't lie here. As for his shooting, well that's another story. Left or right foot, it doesn't really matter. Finesse, power, low driven shoots...everything goes in!!! He is a beast and with 87 stamina, he can last the whole 90 mins + extra time.
Shooting (Finesse, power, low driven shoots)
Pace
Passing ( as a ST)
Stamina
Finesse and outside foot shot combo
4*4*
Heading ( Don't expect him to win headers from the likes of Varane or VVD)
So i used him with Hawk in a 4222 paired up with Mbappe.
This year i looked so long to find a deadly striker next to my Mbappe, i tried Di Natale, Cantona, Puskas and more, but no one realy was constant in fornt of the goal, so i gave Samu a try.
All i can say is that he is the best striker i´ve used this year.
His Pace is very good and his acceleration is quite explosive and feels nearly as fast as Mbappe.
His Shooting is extremely good, inside the box he finishes everything, really anything, his Finesse shots inside the box are very good but outside the box they are not what i expectet but most of the time you pace into the box and finish it easily.
The passing is surprisingly good and long and short passes are very constant.
His dribbling is also very good, not as the likes of Mbappe, Puskas or Di Natale but bcz of his bodytype he is very agile and has close feet controll.
The Physical stats dont lie and with the Hawk chemstyle he has amazing strength and agression so he wont get bullied off that much, only downside is heading, he should have 99 jumping but it doesnt feel that much.
So if you´re looking for a fast explosive striker with high end finishing, Eto´o is your man.

Maybe price but he is totally worth it
Got this guy out of a mid icon pack and have been using him the past couple days and he's unbelievable. I use him with a hawk them style and left striker in a 4312. He gets in behind with his brilliant attacking runs and with his pace nobody can catch him and he will finish anything, his left foot is just as good as his right foot and he just does not miss. his dribbling is also very good with his height and lean body type he felt very agile and great on the ball and brilliant in game dribbling. He is also surprisingly strong and very rarely gets muscles off the ball. He ca also jump insanely high surprisingly and wins headers against the likes of garage and vvd. Overall he is just a complete player and an absolute beast.

I got him for 660k and oh man what a bargain he is. I replaced my fire Gabriel Jesus with him and the difference was obvious from the start. The 4/4 makes him elite in the striker role. I've never seen someone position themselves so well. He's just always at the right place at the right time. Sometimes you just stare like how is that not offside. I use him in a 2 striker system with FB Neymar with the engine chem style.
Despite this being Etoo's slowest card, he's rapid. He's almost always able to get in behind faster defenders like FB varane or toty dias...
His shooting is amazing. It'd probably be even better with a hawk / hunter applied but even without it's crazy good. He almost always scores in the box and with 91 curve (chem style) and the finesse shot trait his finesse shots are also crazy good. He averages like 2.5 xG a game.
He can pass the ball decently. His short passing is world class (92 vision, 90 short passing with engine), and he almost always distributes to neymar. The issue is, that even with engine his long passing's only 78. Not that long passing really ever works this fifa anyway...
His dribbling is just godly. He feels so smooth on the ball due to his high dribbling stats and body type. His physicality is decent. He gets pushed off the ball by stronger cbs, but not to the point where he can't face them. He loses most headers in the box but can win some occasionally. It's prolly be better with hawk and 99 jumping, but i prefer engine on him.
In conclusion, this guy's a game changer. 50 g/a in 40 games kinda proves that. If you can afford him definitely get him. Trust me, he's just insane.

well like everyone else i did the ( mid or base icon pack SBC ) and i got mid SAMUEL ETO'O at first i thought i was lucky but then i realized i was unlucky ! after 200 games in ELITE division and FUT CHAMPION i can finally give a proper review on this card :
PACE : ETO'O have a good pace and his body type helps him to feel faster in the game...
________________________________________________________________________
SHOOTING : not as good as it should be FINISHING feels like 83-85 not 93 ! , sometime he misses the easiest chances , SHOOT POWER is average , but LONG SHOOTS feels good , IMO the only good thing about his shooting is LONG SHOOTS ..
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
PASSING : it's just so bad ! 87 VISION ? are you kidding ? it feels like 60 in game , PASSING is just not good at all ! , and his finesse shoots are bad he rarely scores finesse shoots ...
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
DRIBBLING : he is not as agile as he should be sometime it can be a big issue , and his balance is bad actually ! feels like 73-75 balance
1-REACTION : his reaction is good actually i love his reaction ...
2-DRIBBLING : not brilliant but not bad ,
3- BALL CONTROL : good ! when you pass him and choose a direction to go he keeps the ball close to his feet , he is good at controlling ball ..
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
PHYSICALITY : he has good physical , great stamina , good strength , not the best jumping , he rarely scores headers ... but physicality is his best stat i think !
Pace , Strong-foot , Stamina , Ball Control
Weak-foot , Shooting , Passing , Some dribbling stats which i mentioned before ..
