88 - Rare
When I packed Haaland I was extremely eager because I'm a fanboy and I really wanted to try him but then a feeling of dread came upon me when I remembered his height and his agility. As I expected he is good at shooting, his positioning is excellent, but of course he is a truck of a man. I think Haaland is the type of card you need to know how to use correctly. Do not be sad when he looses the ball, doesn't run as fast as you want him...basically don't have high expectations from him because he is a card that you need to have patience with. He will score goals and be good for you if you just don't expect a Neymar level of a card. Have faith in his abilities and have fun.
Thank you and remember to have fun.
- Shooting 8.5/10 = Of course his shooting is excellent but his weak foot makes him a very limited striker.
- Pace 7.5/10 = He will outpace anyone but because of his dribbling and height, he takes time to maximize his pace on long runs. So you really should be careful how you sprint with him
- Physical 9/10 = That is of course where Haaland shines, because his physical stats he is crazy, even though he can be slow, his physical stats are helping him to get through tough defenders in a long run. For example when a defender bullies you from your back when you run straight, well Haaland will kind of push him off and it really helps.
- Passing 8/10 = You'll be surprised but I had more assists with him than goals. Pretty decent passer I shall say, so don't believe anyone who says he's a bad passer.
- Defending 7/10 = Because of his High/High work rates, he surely comes to help the midfield very often. But I suggest you guys to make him a "stay forward" striker. Because of his agility and height he really needs to be ahead during long passes, in order for him to not get caught up quickly by defenders.
- Dribbling 7/10 = A truck but can still turn and react. A slow scoring machine as I would say. But to be honest with you guys, slap a hunter on him cause he really needs that acceleration boost. The fact that he goes from 72 balance to 82, won't change him into Neymar, so please I can only encourage you try him with a hunter even if it seems stupid
