Player Review
87 - OTW
The required 84-rated squad made me doubt if I really wanted/needed him. But I had some high rated fodder and decided to go for it. (Thanks to the 500goals&Assists objective, go do it if you haven't yet!) At the time when I did the SBC, his rating was still 82, but since he was likely to get his first TOTW I knew I was basically completing the 84 version.
I tried him as an 82-rated and as an 84 rated. First I put a 'Finisher' on him. Damn, this boy knows how to score goals. Placed shots are almost a guaranteed goal. Finesse shots outside of the box also fly in very often. His low drivens are so hard the GK doesn't even have the time to respond.
After that I tried him with 'Hunter'. His shooting remains really good, and the 96 acceleration makes him really fast. However I value his 99 agility more when you give him a 'Finisher.
His dribbling is also awesome.
With some upgrades this season (which he'll probably get) you're looking at a nice card that could be used for a long time.
Ofcourse, for now the 84 IF is the same player for less money. But with future upgrades this card could become really good value for money.
- Lethal shooting. Almost every shot goes in.
- Dribbling. Turns really quickly
- Stamina. Can easily play for 90 minutes.
- Strenght. He could be a little bit stronger. However a 'Sniper' chem style gives it a little boost.
- Sprint speed. When covering long distances, he isn't as quick as you'd like. Again, could be fixed with a Hunter.
