85 - Hero
Let's make like a proper aussie and get straight into it. This card is quality. It's not Neymar or Ronaldo and it ain't gonna be shooting up to 500k anytime soon, but quality it is nonetheless. Tried him as a Lone ST, RS in a 2 up top, CAM in a 41212 and finally and most preferably as RCM in a 4141. Obviously at least 90% of the cobbers thinking about picking this legend up are either true blue bloody aussies or just true blues. Either way, don't listen to the haters basing their opinions off his card stats. This card has obvious negatives which ill go into further detail about below, but the pros far outweigh them, so do yourself a favour and pick this bloke up and never let him go. Because trust me, you won't want to.
Heading: Where else would I start with Timmy? Even at 5'10, he definitely delivers in the air. Countless goals scored from corners as he just powers it past the keeper with the force of a thousand emus at his back. He wont be outjumping Van Dijk or Varane but up against defenders that are 6'1 or 6'2 he has a great chance, and when he gets onto the end of it theres only 1 result.
Positioning: The standout aspect of this card for me, playing as a CM his ability to make perfectly timed runs in past the striker is incredible. He is always in the right place and is very hard for any defensive midfielder to mark, be it Kante or Casemiro.
Finishing: Goals Goals and more Goals are to come when you play this man as make runs beyond the striker in custom tactics. I've used Werner, Aubameyang, Lukaku, Vardy, Jesus and a plethora of others but nobody comes close. To put it simply, if you have a chance with Timmy inside the box and you arent terrible at the game, 9 times out of 10 its hitting the net.
Dribbling: Adversely to other reviewers, I actually found Timmy to be bare quality on the ball. The 3* skills can be a tad annoying but his ball control is excellent and he makes lots of jinking runs with tight turns for me with no notable issues.
Pace: Not Terrible, especially at CM, but if youre using him at ST a Hunter card is a necessity. That being said he still has a tidy turn of pace and can show a clean pair of heels to most CB's so it isnt a massive issue.
Passing: My main disappointment with this card was how weak the passing stats were, and unfortunately that translates into the game as expected. You'll only want to be playing short unambitious passes as he isnt capable of much more than that.
