92 - TOTS
I was so happy to get this guy out of my 85+ x20, he was literally the only card from the Tots team that suited my team, ea heard my prayers and gave him to me before I bought him myself, and oh boy am I glad they did. Lets take it from the start, shall we? Pace, unmatched, doesnt even need a hawk or anything, just slap a Marksman and you are fine. Shooting, with him playing as Striker his shooting really came to test and to be honest, it is AMAZING, strong foot AND weak foot, always top corner, always back of the net, ridiculous. His finesse shots were okay, didnt expect anything crazy as he doesnt have the trait but he still hits them nice, surprisingly. Passing is good, had no issues whatsoever with it, maybe his long passing could have been a bit better but I dont really care. Now for the best part of the card, his dribbling, I do believe it is the best in the entire game. And that is coming from someone that had TOTY Messi for 130 games and Base Pele for 300. Zaha just sticks the ball to his feet, even when his at full sprint, ball still sticks to his feet like its glued, turns lightly as a feather, no matter the gameplay, generally outstanding dribbling. If not the best in the game then surely top 3. Physical is surprisingly good, had zero issues with it, even bodied some defenders like Timber tots or the new Boscagli card. Movement is nice, he does seem to drift wide a little so I do suggest Stay Central if you use him as a Striker. 5* skills are naughty, come off beautifully and are really helpful. Also the weak foot upgrade is really good to work with, without it I think he would be considered less meta but Overall he is a FULL META BEAST!
- Pace is exceptional, no chemstyle needed.
- Shooting from up close is really consistent, on both feet. Also his finesse shots are quite special, almost as if he has his own animation.
- Dribbling, as I said I think its the best in the game. Light as a feather and very close control while also being at full sprint, makes no difference.
- 5* skills come off very smoothly
- 4* wf upgrade is very very helpful at the ST position
- Long Passing is meh, it needs a boost if you are gonna play him as a CAM
- His movement suits that of a winger, if you are gonna play him centrally you need Stay Central
- I would like a finesse shot trait, but thats just me nitpicking, he hits them well regardless
