Player Review
89 - Headliners
This might be the worst card I've tested in this year's game. Many may disagree with me, but there is something very off about this card. The worst thing about him is his dribbling. For a card with his stats he should be storming past his opponents like cones. Instead, his dribbling feels very clumsy and sluggish for some reason. Comparing to likes of Alessandrini's Winter Wildcard or even Embarba's one, he is in other league - and that's not in the positive way. Secondly, I've slapped a finisher on him to boost his shooting. The most surprising thing to me was his finishing, which was almost non-existent. He was missing very easy situations and left me pretty disappointed in a few occasions. Pace-wise he felt decent, exactly like I imagined. He was breezing past slower defenders but struggled against the likes of Hakimi. His passing was like a lottery, he made some very good passes but also butchered some easy looking ones, but in his defence I must admit it's a thing with almost every player in this FIFA, the passes feel very inconsistent.
Overall, this card is not a total waste of money - let's remember that he can still upgrade. But at the current state he feels almost unplayable and he missed my expectations.
