Lowkey W from base icon pack

By Brusk, 15-11-2021

I've never written a review before, but seeing people be disappointed in getting this guy from their base icon pack has prompted me to write this:

This weekend, after a disappointing champions performance in which I missed out on my usual 12 wins, I decided to punt off my fodder/coins and do the base icon pack that I had vowed not to do. Upon opening my pack and seeing the Swedish flag I was rather disappointed, I don't doubt that many of you reading this review had a similar experience to me.

Nevertheless, I decided that Larsson looked okay and that I would give him a go by slotting him into my team in the place of Fekir, moving my Rulebreakers Bamba to CAM to accommodate Larsson at ST, boy was I surprised.

Larsson very quickly proved himself to be a lowkey W rather than an L. His movement is good, he makes decent runs, his passing is more than good enough for a ST, and with a hunter chemistry style he's fast enough to get away from defenders. What really stands out about Larsson though is his finishing, simply put a bit of power on a shot and it goes straight through the goalkeeper. He also has no issues with stamina.

I have notched up 16 goals and 4 assists in 9 games with Larsson. Though these have come in Division 3, I was in Division 1 prior to the start of the new season, and those I am playing against likely were too.

I would definitely recommend this card to anyone considering him, you'll find yourself pleasantly surprised by an excellent striker that can do it all while having top tier finishing.

Finishing: he makes it very hard to miss, regardless of the angle or where you try to shoot. I don't finesse, I just put power on my shots and watch them fly in.
Passing: surprisingly, his passing is more than decent, he rarely misplaces ground passes and has even notched some over-the-top through ball assists.
Physical: again, more than good enough, can hold on to the ball and hold off defenders comfortably.
Pace: with a hunter chemistry style he's fast enough to run away from most defenders without being caught.
Dribbling: I've experienced no problems with his dribbling, he doesn't feel clunky at all.
Weak Foot: his 4* WF is fantastic, it almost feels like he has 5*.
Stamina: not an issue.

3* Skill Moves: I don't use skill moves, but for those that do, this may be a problem.
