Hidden gem as a striker
By trollfacer1, 19-12-2021

Premier League has this cons that there are not that many options to choose from when it comes to strikers. That's why I decided to try Ismaila Sarr IF off chem on striker and oh boy, was he good.

First of all, I'm a div 2 player, prefer balance dribbling over the combinations and love through passes. When it comes to Sarr, played him as a right striker in 41212(2) with Fekir on left striker and Robbie Keane on cam. Chem style was finisher, because i thought his pace is good as it is and he may use some upgrades in shooting and dribbling. Used him in Rivals, FUT Champs and during icon swaps SB.

What instantly hit me was his incredible pace. He is tall and his legs are very long so it even looks as if he was running faster than the opponents. I'm not a top tier FUT player and what I often do is just spam through passes and run with the striker and Sarr is made for such primitive tactics. Sometimes you can even run from the middle of the pitch after kick off and score a goal, it's incredible.

When it comes to the shooting he is clinical. I put him on the right striker to shoot powerful shots on the further side of the net and he does it perfectly. Only downside when it comes to his shooting is the 2* WF (obviously), but when you play him on right striker and don't use finesses, you'll be fine after some games.

As for dribbling he feels decently agile, most of the basic skill moves are smooth and the agile dribbling is great.

To summarise, Ismaila Sarr is definitely a great player worth trying out. He helped me a lot and to this day serves in my team. If you can't fit him in your squad, at least try him as a super sub, you won't be disappointed.

  • INCREDIBLE pace
  • great shooting with right foot
  • great value for money
  • he is tall, but not clunky
  • pretty agile with the ball
  • hard to green link
  • if you want to play him as a striker you may need to play him off chem
  • 2* WF
  • top tier defenders like Varane or Kimpembe often tackle him with ease, but that's for everyone ig

SARR THE GOAT

Being a huge Watford the instant I saw this Sarr card I knew I had to use him. Luckily packed him right at the start of the game so I didn't have to buy him. I played him as a right cam in the 4231 and in 13 games I have gotten 13 goals. His pace is amazing and he seems to finish everything for me. I thought his height would be a problem for his dribbling but its not a problem at all. H...

Wow Wow Wow

I originally believed when I bought this card for 30k that it would be the average pacy player that you eventually sell after 5 games... I can tell you he is the very opposite ... I don't write reviews on players with this infact being my first however he really was that good I had to do it. I have played him at ST and he's scored 49 in 30 from div 8 to div 4 . What a player also taking me to the weekend league

SARR JUST SO GOOD

This boy is great, he reminds me a lot of Dembele in his running, speed and way of moving, if you are looking for a very fast player, who shoots well and does not miss the ones he has, THIS IS THE ONE, I just loved it, it's a Perfect WR for the coins it costs.
