Player Review
96 - TOTS SBC
(I've never used FB Kane so idk how they compare)
Premier League TOTS has dropped and we've been gifted with a TOTS Harry Kane, with a solid 96 rating. I think most people are concerned about whether he is worth the asking price, as he's sat just under 600k, so if you guys have fodder, great. I understand the review is early, but he expires within a week so I thought I'd put my last 10 champs games into him and a few in elite rivals, so you guys can decide whether this review tempts you or not.
I've been running him at right ST with an engine, just to boost his agility slightly in a 41212(2) and right ST in 442. He can fit the role, so I dropped him into CAM for a couple as well. I think he's one my favourite strikers I've used this FIFA, having played 15 games, scored 30 goals and assisted 14. Generally, I'm not saying this for the purpose of the review but I don't have a bad word about him. I mean, look at him, boosted WF and SM, nearly plus 90 stats in everything but defending. If this was a Son sbc for example, with the exact same card and price, people would freak.
Anyway, Pros and Cons.
PACE- High acceleration and high sprint speed. Like any normal person, I prefer the acceleration over sprint speed, but I played a lot of high paced CB's, like Gomez and Varane for example, and majority of the time he beat them on the run.
SHOOTING- I shouldn't need to explain how clinical he is but I will. Volleys, Headers (incl from corners), 1v1, Distance Shooting, Finesses, Chips, you name it, he'll finish with any type of shot. Found that he scores a few from very awkward and still generates a lot of power on the finish.
PASSING- His passing has no limits. He can play tiki taka, long passes and he can cross. You guys will find his curve naughty when you're finessing and outside the boot shooting. Overall though, when running him as a CAM his passing was impeccable. Obviously don't be annoyed if he doesn't make a pass when a defender is stood right in front of your receiving player though lol.
DRIBBLING- I feel like this is everyone's concern with the card and the fact he's also 6'2". He's so good on the ball, his movement, balance and agility have been crazy. He turns fast and the ball just sticks to his feet. The fact he has 90 strength and 99 composure is a luxury when running with him and when you're holding the ball up as well.
PHYSICAL- High stamina to complement the High/High work rates and good jumping along with 97 heading. His strength and aggression are so much more important than you may think. CB's like TOTS Dias bully a lot of my players with strength, so I found this so useful when running in on goal, as defenders couldn't recover.
HEIGHT, WORK RATES AND STARS- He's 6'2", High/High with 92 stamina, and got a boosted 5* WF and 4* SM. Generally in disbelief at this point how people are contemplating doing him.
None, and I'm being completely unbiased here. I think he's very fun, but until I try this TOTS Benzema, TOTS Kane is my favourite ST so far.
