90 - IF
3.5
Sadly, not worth the money
By EdBennett, 20-01-2022

I got him untradeable in a pack a few months ago and was excited as hell to use him- the best LW in the PL in real life, and a 90 inform for free.


Although his face stats and 5* weakfoot suggest that he would be a monster in game, sadly he's just not that good, I personally much prefer Mane' base card, and there are far better attackers for a quarter of the price in other leagues


Attributes



Pace- Feels quick but not rapid in game on hunter- strange since his pace is 99 on hunter but many other players feel a lot faster to use.


Shooting- Shooting is superb, he's a fantastic finisher from just about anywhere, longshots, finesse shots, you name it he can do it to perfection and the 5* weakfoot is HUGE. Sadly though, this is really all he can do to a high standard.


Passing- Passing is good but not amazing, short passes are fine but long passes are a no go, again there are other attackers out there that are much more well-rounded and don't have these problems


Dribbling- Really not that good at all. He's an awkward player to use, as even on engine his dribbling is clunky and somewhat unresponsive- he takes too long to turn and feels clunky to use, so you can't fully take advantage of his exceptional shooting since he isn't able to work himself in to good positions often enough


Physicality- Despite being clunky at dribbling, he's not strong either and can get bullied off the ball by good defenders pretty easily- so he doesn't really have a set style- he's not a slick dribbler like Fekir or Ben Yedder, but he's not a physical forward like Haaland either- it leaves him in an awkward territory where he doesn't really have a 'thing' that he does.


Defending- Not really that relevant for a forward but much better at defending from the front than most attackers I've used. Heading is bad.



Overall

Sadly since I love Son, I really wouldn't recommend this card at all. the only reason he isn't 50k (currently 170k) is because he's premier league. He is too clunky to be a slick, Fekir type forward, but doesn't have any physicality at all so that leaves him in an awkward position where he doesn't really have a thing at all. Shooting is superb and pace is good but that's just not enough if his lead-up play is bad, having used Mane, I'd say go for him over Son since although his shooting isn't anywhere near as good, at least he can actually create chances for himself or other attackers, and he's 120k cheaper. Spend your money elsewhere.

The Korean Rocket

So of course another year of FUT and I'm looking around for Strikers that are well balanced and as i look there arent many. It looks like i have to pull Sonaldo out of the bag for another year of him at striker when i tell you he does not disappoint he does not. He has done everything and more than i expected his shots always are beamed into the top left and right corners of the net before the keeper even has a chance to re...

absolute beast as st/cam

I have used this man as of last night around 7 with an engine to max out dirbbling passing and pace and oh my what a beast he scores everything his shot power is mad and his dribbling is top tier, he is a little bit slower than you think though i am not too sure why.

Heung FOOK NEWTON Son

Let's start with the fact that I hit this gentleman in 75+pick, yes I know I'm a fooking lucky guy but finally fifa gave back what they haven't given for 7 years. After collecting my jaws, I added this monster to my lineup at the speed of light and the ride began... Green son (or shrek son as I call him) is amazing. I played his regular card before and it was good but RTTK sweeps regular Son off the board. I play him in the...
