Player Review

87 - TOTY Honourable Ment
4.5
Jonathan David review
By Loki2000, 28-01-2022

I have been saving a lot of packs and was using only untreadables and I managed to pack david out of a ligue 1 three player pack, at first I was disappointed because of the lights I cannot lie I wanted an actual toty but after 12 games I can tell you I do not care anymore, because this david is actually really really good.

I used him in a 41212 as a left striker next to Abedi pele and messi from behind, I also used him as a lone striker in a 4231 for 4 games to test him out alone up front and he did not dissapoint at all. Scoring 17 goals in 12 games I managed to finish my weekend league at 16-4 and he was the star player outshining everyone else, He was the type of player that I did not feel the need to sub off at any time and did not feel like I was struggling to just keep him in the team and this just indicates to me that he is amazing. So I will leave you with the pros and cons from the games I played bellow and I have to say if you are missing a striker or want to test out a new player, this David is the guy for you. Specially considering his pirce because it is so good for what he offers. And that 87 overall is just the fakest number I have ever seen, he feels like a player that is in the high 90s in game not that overall matters that much anyways.

Pace with the hawk make him have that mbappe feeling when running.

Dribbling specially his left stick is magnificent and it compensates a little bit for the lack of skills.

Shooting from inside the box was insane, and his shooting from outside the box was very good but not amazing.

5 star weak foot specially against tough opponents is amazing.

Stamina - didn't feel the need to sub him off in any of the 12 games.

So cheap, it is actually insane how a player this good costs this much.

The only big con I can think of so far is the 3 star skill moves, some people would not be enjoying this david at all if they depend on skills, but if you can change your style of play and play direct he is amazing.

His passing didn't feel so good as the stats suggest, this might be because of the new patch because passing has been disgusting lately. But still as a fair review I would defienetly say his short passing did not feel like 90 and his long passing did not feel like 81 which should be at least decent.

I can't think of any other cons because of his price, he is performing just as good as if not better than the best players I used this year. And some of them cost millions not 100k.

Should easily be over 300k

I packed him from the 83x25 and at first was a little disappointed since I only got him and Bonucci and no other special cards. Since David still fit my team perfectly I decided to try him out as I was in need of a new ST. First game I played, not even joking, he scored a hattrick within 10 minutes. I don't know what it is about him, whether it is his body type or something but he just steals...

Very Good ST, but...

When is saw he actually was an affordable price for what his stats look like i picked him up to try him out.Lets go through it stat by stat:Pace: Feels Good, could be quicker though especially if you use him with a Chem-Style that doesnt boost PaceShooting: Very Good inside the box finishing, the 5* Weak Foot is very useful; now the parts that are the downside on this card: 1. 65 Curve, No Finess...

What a monster!

My oh my is this guy different! I've really tried a few strikers and there was always something to complain about. Werner, Auba, Lukaku, Malen, Correa, Martial - all of them could score goals, but something was missing in each of them. David, that sneaky little machine, is in a different league. In the double forward (4222), in collaboration with the equally wonderful Yedder, I score goals like there's no t...
