Player Review
93 - TOTS SBC
I'll start by saying, when it comes to strikers I like tall, fast Target Man types, and I'm not so bothered by dribbling- that's the CAMs' job to me.
I Previously used Moments Calvert Lewin who scored 311 in 215 games for me, but lost his edge as the game progressed- Modeste is his successor.
Although I personally like him- he's definitely not for everyone.
Pace
He feels fairly quick- not as rapid as say Mbappe, but he has the pace to stay ahead of most defenders.
Shooting
Shooting is 10/10. Close-up tap ins, Finesse shots, Longshots, Volleys, there's nothing he doesn't do to a 10/10 standard.
Dribbling
Dribbling is not quite as bad as I expected- I thought it'd be Lukaku level of bad but it's actually usable. Put him on engine and he'll have the agility to turn most defenders and the strength to keep them off the ball.
Passing
Passing again is a surprise- he's got neat close range passing and is particularly effective at doing short-range, lobbed through-balls which is something I do a lot
Physical
One of his best attributes- even without a chem boost he has the strength to hold off literally every CB I've encountered, and the height+jumping combo to get his head above theirs and score some bullet headers. Stamina is the only issue here- he gets tired quite early and I usually sub him off before 75 mins.
Defending
Irrelevant for a striker really but shit.
Overall
Overall, he's in my opinion a good striker. He's definitely not for everyone; If you're looking for a silky-smooth, skilful striker then look elsewhere- this guy is pretty clunky and thus doing skill moves with him just doesn't really look or feel right. If you like a strong target man however, I think he'd very effective. He's certainly not a game changer or a standout player, but he scores at least one in every match I play, and holds up the ball well for my other attackers if his own attacking options are limited. I'd reccommend using him on Engine to maximise his dribbling and passing, but Hawk and Hunter also worked for me too.
He's also got great links, I primarily did him to get my POTM Nkunku to 10 chem tbh.
Exceptional shooting
Good passing
Exceptional heading
Good pace
Great linkability
(Rarely) but sometimes feels a bit slow
Dribbling is very heavy and clunky
Stamina doesn't last all game
Probably are better strikers for the price if you're willing to compromise on links
