One of the best strikers in the game

By EightTheDesigner, 08-03-2022

I got him for 660k and oh man what a bargain he is. I replaced my fire Gabriel Jesus with him and the difference was obvious from the start. The 4/4 makes him elite in the striker role. I've never seen someone position themselves so well. He's just always at the right place at the right time. Sometimes you just stare like how is that not offside. I use him in a 2 striker system with FB Neymar with the engine chem style.

Despite this being Etoo's slowest card, he's rapid. He's almost always able to get in behind faster defenders like FB varane or toty dias...

His shooting is amazing. It'd probably be even better with a hawk / hunter applied but even without it's crazy good. He almost always scores in the box and with 91 curve (chem style) and the finesse shot trait his finesse shots are also crazy good. He averages like 2.5 xG a game.

He can pass the ball decently. His short passing is world class (92 vision, 90 short passing with engine), and he almost always distributes to neymar. The issue is, that even with engine his long passing's only 78. Not that long passing really ever works this fifa anyway...

His dribbling is just godly. He feels so smooth on the ball due to his high dribbling stats and body type. His physicality is decent. He gets pushed off the ball by stronger cbs, but not to the point where he can't face them. He loses most headers in the box but can win some occasionally. It's prolly be better with hawk and 99 jumping, but i prefer engine on him.

In conclusion, this guy's a game changer. 50 g/a in 40 games kinda proves that. If you can afford him definitely get him. Trust me, he's just insane.

I got my hands on this beast early in the game this year. Been using him for almost a week now and i can confirm that he is one of the most complete strikers in the game at the moment. His pace and dribbling feel really good in game. His passing and physicality for a ST are clearly very good, the stats don't lie here. As for his shooting, well that's another story. Left or right foot, it doesn't really matter. Finesse, powe...

Deadly Striker

So i used him with Hawk in a 4222 paired up with Mbappe. This year i looked so long to find a deadly striker next to my Mbappe, i tried Di Natale, Cantona, Puskas and more, but no one realy was constant in fornt of the goal, so i gave Samu a try.All i can say is that he is the best striker i´ve used this year. His Pace is very good and his acceleration is quite explosive and feels nearly as fast as Mba...

King Eto'o

Got this guy out of a mid icon pack and have been using him the past couple days and he's unbelievable. I use him with a hawk them style and left striker in a 4312. He gets in behind with his brilliant attacking runs and with his pace nobody can catch him and he will finish anything, his left foot is just as good as his right foot and he just does not miss. his dribbling is also very good with his height and lean body type ...
