Unconventional Review #2: 87 Storyline Browne
By PhatDadFifa, 28-01-2022

29th Jan 2022

If you’re a no-lifer like me, and managed to hit level 30 in the season objectives, you’ll be faced with a life-changing decision. Who do you pick from the three amazing options? How now Browne cow…

 

The first hurdle was coming to terms with Browne’s league and nationality. Irish and EFL is a terrible combination, nearly on par with my own nationality and league (Singaporean/S-League). Don’t Google it T_T. I sincerely considered creating a god squad surrounding Browne consisting of Irish legends like Roy Keane, Zaha, Drogba, Hoolahan, Kessie and Mcgeady Spin. But I owned none of those legendary players,  hence, this was the squad I rocked with.

 

 

Attacking: 9

Usually makes automatic runs into space vacated by my CAM or ST, however do take note that his runs are very linear and goes in a literal straight line. He ain’t gonna be making no crazy runs like Mbappe, for a very simple reason. He’s 993,000 coins cheaper. Woah, looks like money can buy brains…

 

Defending: 8

For those that were reliant on the jockey glitch previously, he will help you to overcome your newfound noobness due to his quick left right responsive jockeying. His interceptions are amazing, but be prepared for him to take some weird first touches at times. Also, despite him being H/H, he is prone to bouts of laziness. He jogs back at times in defensive transitions. My grandmother can run faster than him, and she’s literally missing a leg.

 

Tackling Crunch: 8

The most important stat for any midfielder or defender with defending capabilities, is the tackling crunch. The way a player bulldozes into the opponent, and how he wins the ball matters the most to me. I literally can hear imaginary “crunch” sounds in my head when my players tackle their opponents, and Browne is a solid 8 on the crunch spectrum.

 

For reference, a perfect 10 crunch tackle belongs to Sule.

 

Passing: 9

Dribbling: 8

Fantastic long distance passer, always finds the diagonal man for me. I spray balls for no other reason other than the fact that he has a 99.99% success rate, ala Xabi Alonso. His short passing is acceptable, but he ain’t threading no thread through any needle. Dribbling feels decent, but he will always feel average as compared to your other 200k midfielders due to his er, average body type.

 

Coins to Value ratio: 10 (fellow cheapskate, unite!)

Time to Value ratio: 0

He’s not an end-game level 30 card like last season’s De Sciglio, but between choosing Pozuelo (boring) or the 1000th Brazilian dude in Liga Nos, pick up Browne for a more fun option.

 

 

Summary

Sadly, because Browne has no unique hairstyle or colour, you are forced to identify him with just his name. He has above average off-ball attacking AI, above average off-ball defensive AI. The closest comparison I can make is with WW Aouar. The problem with Aouar is that he’s not silky enough nor shoots well for a CAM, nor can he defend well enough as a CDM. Browne is just like that, only with better dribbling animations, and way shittier links.

 

 

Pros:

Strong links to Roy Keane

Free

Pings long balls accurately

Free

Crunchy tackles

Free

 


Cons:

Red link to Kessie and Zaha despite being from the same country

Average body type

Free cards are free for a reason

Save yourself the grind and just buy a Llorente or something. Hit me up if you can’t afford the 13,000 coins, we can discuss the poverty line and how to get out of it together.

Must Choose Beast

This guy is such a beast. As in Irishman I made sure I made to to level 30 as soon as possible. He plays as a CM for me in 4-1-2-1-2 narrow on get forward, and in 5 games of d3 rivals, he has 11 goal involvements. This guy would be such a good cam if he had 4 star skills but he doesn’t so he’s an amazing box to box. I put a deadeye on him to boost his passing to make him usable and just make his shooting insane, and it ...
