Player Review
89 - TOTY Honourable Ment
Player Profile:
This card looks great, his links are really good, being English, Prem and plays for Man City. His body type is great, 5'7 lean body type is always going to be meta and very usable in game regardless of the stats. He has 4 star skills, 4 star weakfoot, with decent traits. The traits are okay, but a little underwhelming, although they are definitely a positive on this card. The High/Med work rates are great for a cam/st/lw (his primary positions).
Pros:
This card definitely has a lot of pros with the noticeable ones being his agile dribbling and his bursts of pace. The pace on this card is great in tight spaces however he isn't the fastest in open spaces like counters and most meta cbs (like flashback varane, djalo etc...) will catch up to him. His dribbling is amazing, he has amazing agility, great balance and can easily maneuver through defenders. His shooting is probably the worst part of the card, but his finishing is still great, and he finishes the chances he gets in the box, whether its near post or far post, he will probably find the back of the net. His passing is great, and can make most, if not all passes attempted, whether it is long passes, short passes or crosses. He also has great stamina, which means he usually can play the full 90 mins
Cons:
This card does have a few flaws, with his lack of long shot ability being the most noticeable due to the lack of the outside foot shot and finesse traits. You can definitely still score from long range, however it is not as consistent as you'd hope. Another flaw this card has is the lack of strength, meaning he easily gets out muscled by most defenders and midfielders.
Summary:
This card is great, and I enjoyed using him during this weekend league and was great for me playing LAM in a 4-2-2-2, but he can definitely play LM/RM (especially now with the 4 star wf) ST or CAM. Right now hes going for 450-500k which is slightly overpriced for him in my opinion, however I still think he is an extremely good card and will definitely be one of the better forwards in the Prem until TOTS.
