TOTY Lewandowski Review

By grootfrat, 22-01-2022

Good ebening everyone, Imma do a quick 98 Lewandowski for you guys. So I packed this card out of one of those upgrade packs, my first TOTY card ever.

I use Lewandowski in a 4-3-3(2) with an Engine chemstyle and I have a possession based style of play so my review will be based on my experience in said chemstyle and playstyle/formation, take this into account. So far I've used him in 10 WL games and he has been spectacular. Secured me the win in games where I'd lose it normally.

Pace: Uncatchable. If you drop it behind the defense he's gone.

Shooting: Kinda speaks for itself really. With 98 shooting, what do you expect? Bangs them in from all angles, in the box, out of the box, left foot or right foot (feels like a 5*), you name it. For some reason his Positioning really stands out for me. Always makes the run at the perfect time, when you want to drop the ball over the defense (in the opponent's box it's even more noticeable) he holds his run and positions himself in a way where you get the best angle to take the shot and he like, doesn't get cought offside? He's been offside like 3 or 4 times MAX so far. Also, he takes the shot very fast, faster than most players I've used so far. When you press the shoot button it feels like the ball immediately leaves his foot, which gives the defender less time to block and keeper less time to adjust etc.

Passing: Also really surprised me. I like to play with a striker with (very) good passing, because I like to involve him in the build-up. This year I have used both Messi and 90 Eto'o in that role and honestly they were amazing but Lewa is just bonkers man. Can play it short to one of your mids, switch play to one of your wingers... What stands out for me is is his one touch passing. I've had multiple IG situations so far where he's holding off the defender, receives the ball and immediately gives a perfect through ball in the space behind the opponents defense to one of my midfielders/wingers, without them having to adjust their run.

Dribbling: Doesn't feel clunky at all, if anyone tells you different they're lying or their gameplay just sucks. Can dribble in and out of tight spaces and actually feels very smooth and responsive on the ball. He's no Messi but still.

Physicality: Lasts 120mins without any problems, very aggressive when trying to win the ball back and his areal presence is phenomenal. If you like to cross the ball into the box he's the guy you're looking for. Rarely lost a header against his direct opponent so far and heads it in the top corner with ease. Now, some of you may have read the comments and noticed how a lot of people have been saying that 99 Strength is fake. Kinda have to agree, doesn't feel like 99 strength, more like high 80's. Doesn't get bullied of the ball, just has these moments where you think "with 99 strength he shouldn't be losing the ball like that".

So to TL;DR: Insane at literally everything, plays like a nr. 10 in attack.

I think that's it really, hope it's useful for you guys.

Everything, but to point some of them out:

Positioning
Passing, both short and long
Reactions
Takes the shot extremely fast, ball immediately leaves his foot.
Feels like he has 5* WF
Smooth on the ball
Jumping and heading accuracy

No con really, but his Strength doesn't feel like 99, at least not for me

Formation: 433-2

Position: ST

GPG: 1.60

APG: 0.80

Insert funny Muller joke here

Lewandowski was a hero for me during FUT 21, and it was only a matter of time until he got a phenomenal special card. I used Lewandowski as a left striker in a 352, and he acted as one of my 2 target men up top. I normally like playing a more possession-based ...

He's special

Bought him because he seemed too cheap. His movement is phenomenal. he comes deep and builds play and makes late runs in the box, right place right time pretty much all the time. His dribbling is ok, not neymar but good enough. His hold up play is fantastic. Finishing ability awesome and a huge plus for the new game is that he wins a lot of headers and scores them. Im thinking early on that the meta striker is a do everythi...

I have never used a better striker in any FIFA, ever. I have never had the luck or money to buy a TOTY or elite Icons/Legends, but I packed this guy, and wow. He is genuinely fast, not Mbappe fast, but like gold Messi with a hunter fast. For someone that is 6'1" that is a crazy amount of speed. He is incredibly hard to knock off the ball with his 99 strength. His dribbling feels amazing, kind of like a barely clunkier Neyma...
