Player Review
89 - Hero
I saved up for quite a while to buy this player, as I have untradable neymar and now verrati so hes a perfect way to get them all on full chem. I Played him on 10 chem at both Striker and Cam in a 4-2-3-1 and I have to say I'm a little dissapointed. Being my first big purchase, he doesn't seem to be worth the massive 700k I invested in him. Though not a bad player by any means, he doesn't have that it factor that a Fekir or a neymar have, which is astounding considering hes worth more than both combined. All in all, he has very good pace, though not elite. I played him with a hawk at first and he does make great runs in behind and has great positioning. His dribbling again is good not great, as he has slick movement but felt a tadddd bit clunky at times. His shooting I think was his biggest issue for me, as he finishes good chances but I thought hed be scoring worldies for me and oftentimes his shot didnt seem as powerful or as precise as I wanted it to be, squandering some of the harder to score chances. His passing and physical were elite however, as he does offer a lot on the attack, he's just not a killer upfront.
Pace dribbling and passing combined with great positioning are big pluses, as his medium medium work rates which scared me at first werent a problem at all. He was often times in great positions and his one twos with Neymar were a joy. I cant say enough about his passing, as it was very well weighted and calculated on a grand majority of occasions.
The one big con that I have with this card has to be his shooting. Ive gotten better results from the likes of Dybala, Fekir, etc. He scored plenty but there were numerous times were I took chances to let him showcase his finishing and he let me down. At one point I even slapped a marksman and a finisher on him to try him out but to no avail. All in all, a very decent card that offeres great links but not the best shot.
