Player Review
92 - Icon Moments
Before I start, the screen shows 12 games played. One was a 0-0 rage quit by the opponent and one I got disconnected. That's why review says 10 games played but the screen shows 12.
So, I did another icon SBC. And there he was: El Nino. I was a bit hesitant to use him, especially since I already have a bunch of good strikers. I gave him a chance and I was pleasantly surprised. Shooting is really good, passing is better than expected (obviously, don't try too much with him, but simple things go good enough). On the ball he isn't the best but not the worst either. Engine definitely helps. Pace is good enough, okay he isn't gonna feel as fast as your Mbappe's and other players like that, but in no way is he slow. Physically he's pretty good. In the air he's dominant (which kinda surprised me because of only 67 aggression), his strength holds up pretty well, the only slightly negative thing is only 88 stamina, which could be a problem going in extra time.
I was surprised with his shooting. I scored some insane bangers with this card where I was actually surprised I scored. If you want a complete striker, or a striker you can abuse skills with, this isn't your card. But if you need a goalscoring machine, this card is exactly that. Had a blast using him.
- Shooting, his shooting is insane
- Physicals, strength and aerial ability are great
- Ball control, controls the ball really well
- Pace, not Mbappe like rapid, but fast enough
- Finesse shot and outside foot shot traits
- 4* 4* and H/M
- It's El Nino
- Stamina, 88 stamina could hurt if you run with him a lot going in extra time
- VERY MINOR Dribbling, put it here because it isn't fluid, it's a con if you require fluid dribbling but it isn't terrible
- He doesn't have 5* wf or sm for people who care about that
- Played for Atletico, Liverpool, Chelsea and Milan, if you are fan of rivalry clubs then maybe that makes you dislike him IDK (this is just here for jokes dw)
