King David

By mtr17, 31-01-2022

I packed mans out of a Ligue 1 upgrade pack and like a lot of the other reviews I've seen, I was disappointed. Obviously an Mbappe or Messi or even a Marquinhos might've done my team a little better but the pack weight is terrible. Anyways, my club was at a crossroads with Fraud9 (baby R9) and my attack definitely needed a solution. I tried David in place of R9 in my weekend league matches this past weekend and my days what a stud he is. I have also attached my in game formation for reference. That being said, let's get into the review. For reference, all opinions were made using an engine chem style.

Pace

With 94 pace as a base stat I decided to boost it a bit with an engine. He doesn't feel absolutely rapid but he is quite fast. No complaints really but he isn't as fast as your Mbappes of the world.

Shooting

Shooting is definitely where David shines. With a 5 star weak foot, 94 finishing, 91 composure and 90 shot power this man sends rockets. We'll get into dribbling in a bit but I do want to say here that he turns just a little slow due to his average body type, BUT it doesn't matter for me. Often times he'd barely complete a full turn but with pressure coming sometimes you just gotta air it out. Left foot, right foot, off balance, or falling down it doesn't matter he's putting it top bins. For around 90k I'd say a striker with glitched shooting like this is an absolute bargain.

Passing

His passing is quite good. With an engine he has no issues with link up play. He'll make a solid pass at the top of the box and make that lethal run in for an easy 1 touch finish. I'd rate it 10/10 for what I expect from a striker given my play style.

Dribbling

Nothing to write home about here, he's not Neymar but he's not necessarily a truck either. No 5 star skills which I know is a huge negative for skill move spammers but again, I like to play possession until an opportunity presents itself. If you need those skill moves or quick dribbling then maybe stay away? If you want a coin friendly striker with rockets for legs then fair play to you.

Defending

Lol what? Doesn't matter for a striker but he does have a high defensive work rate so he's fairly effective at applying that pressure on opposing defenses and forcing mistakes for an easy counter.

Physical

86 strength with 96 balance (engine) he doesn't get knocked off the ball too easily. Obviously if your opponent has a tank back there, maybe stay away from trying to body them. 96 Stamina he'll last you a whole 90 minutes easily and even a little bit of extra time. 96 jumping and 95 heading accuracy he's a menace on corners.

Traits

No traits other than outside the foot shot, the finesse shot trait would probably make him too OP.

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...

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...
