90 - Premium SBC
What a card to commemorate the end of Akinfenwa's professional football career. He is the reason I never shied away from the weight lifting and never skipped my biceps day.
His proximity makes especially skinny and petite defenders panic and tremble. He once clashed with Desailly though and you can see the result in my highlights video.
Bodytype of a bouncer allows him to bully majority of defenders 24/7, he is the bodyguard you want for your team, even Whitney Houston would have preferred him over Kevin Costner.
Perfect workrates (high/low) for a striker, he will get on your opponents' nerves really quickly with all the disruption he causes in and outside the penalty box.
Consistent finisher, converts like 8/10 opportunities, he does not shoot, he launches cannonballs towards the goal, I would be hard-pressed to recall someone with harder shots.
Engine chemstyle is a must in my opinion, it gives him +10 dribbling which is absolutely crucial and game-changing since he has only 81 dribbling.
Tried him out on both "balanced" and "target man" instruction and I must say that not only does he shield the ball well with his back to the goal, he can outrun defenders and fend them off with ease as well.
Passing is satisfactory as long as you stick to normal ground passes.
I sincerely hope that he will make his appearance in FIFAs to come, if not in the form of FUT Hero, then certainly in the new exclusive and custom-made promo FUT Beasts.
