Player Review
89 - TOTY Honourable Ment
Let me just say, this man is a menace- almost Hasbulla status
This is my first review, and it is very fitting that it is Foden.
For me, the top things I look for in a good striker are quick acceleration and insane shooting (therefore, usually a small, balanced, agile guy over someone who can barrel their way through defenders) over physicality. Having previously used Diogo Jota's numbers up card, Samuel Eto'o's 90 rated card, etc. I was buying lots of expensive players and was disappointed as I was struggling to find someone who could make a valuable difference on my team up front and connect with teammates as well.
Although they were great players and put in a lot of goals for me, Foden is built different: his 90 pace feels like 98. This man has WHEELS- And let's not get started on his shooting. It goes in from ANYWHERE. Left foot, right foot, it doesn't matter. One thing I love about his shot is that it feels a lot like Ronaldo's shooting mechanic. His strikes dip, knuckle, and will put the keeper in a spin cycle. So far, TOTY Foden (Durag Foden) has clutched up harder than Aguero to win the Premier League, with 92 composure in front of goal. My first 5 games with him in my squad, he scored consecutive hat tricks, and right now he has 40 goals and 14 assists in 38 games. His dribbling is top tier; comparable to Messi. He can make good moves, outpace defenders, make great passes, and get very technical in the box. His 4 star weak foot and 4 star skills shine in these situations (His right foot honestly feels 5 star).
The ONLY thing I could ever complain about with this BEAST of a man is his physicality. He gets pushed around if you are shoulder to shoulder with defenders, which can be solved with separation and some good dribbling, but honestly, doesn't take away from all his amazing abilities for me. He is SO worth the money, and I hope none of you get him so that I don't have to face him in weekend league.
