Player Review

Throughout the course of FIFA 22, my team has changed practically every other week, with new players in old players being sent back to the club. But, one player that has always and will always stay in my team is this card right here FUT Fantasy Inaki Williams. On the day of the promo, I opened a random Rare Players Pack not expecting much at all. However, at the time to my small pleasure, I had packed a solid 87-rated piece of fodder as obviously this card would be terrible and unusable due to his 70 balance. But, nonetheless, he fitted my team back then, and well the 98 pace interested me, so I gave him a try. This without a shadow of a doubt was the best decision I have made throughout the course of FIFA 22 as I instantly fell in love. Now fast-forward many months and he's still here. No longer having the luxury of being in the starting lineup, he sits on my bench waiting, always ready for his chance, then when he does come on he always delivers. Players like Inaki I have to appreciate as I would say I'm a semi-casual FIFA player considering in total I've played maybe slightly less than 300 games and this card has played in 132 of them. The second most for a player in my team behind FUT Birthday Timber's 150 games. So, as you can probably presume he's a bit of a club legend. Now, after that mini intro onto the main part THE REVIEW !!!

His stats at face value look well extremely tempting. But, most make the severe mistake and pass up this card when they notice he has very low balance (78) with a finisher which is the chem style I used on him, especially for this stage of the game as it is June which for most is very off-putting. And well there isn't any point denying it he obviously doesn't move as well as my Insigne but he has an odd trait that I like to call ... UNSTOPPABLE ! It's outrageous, his Pace (99) means he basically flies at players, and even if you're running right at a defender his immense strength (91) and physical stats in general means the ball just comes straight back to him when the defender attempts to tackle him you simply can't. Now don't get me wrong his dribbling isn't bad, I do find he is actually quite solid on the ball when drifting past defenders, but he does feel a bit lopsided, like his legs get a bit tied up and he ends up losing control, I can imagine that this is his balance. But, don't let this put you off at all it really isn't that bad. Now, as it's June and every card is 5* 5* and has 99 agility and balance as well as 99 pace this card may seem quite well, terrible, considering the date and the meta of the game. But, if you're willing to adapt to this card, learn its strengths and weaknesses and use it right he is outstanding, simply perfect. Now, of course, his 3* weak foot is a drawback, and trust me I more than others may agree as I really don't use skill moves that much and I love players who have 5* weak foot as it adds to their unpredictability. But, to be fair I don't really notice it much I don't know if that's just me using him correctly or if he really does have a fake weak foot and it's a lot better than it seems. His 4* skills it's eh alright as I said I don't usually use skills, but when I have with him they've been good enough. Though I might add stuff like elasteco's with him feels honestly great he does them so quickly and smoothly, so, yeah I don't know if you're a 5* skill merchant then you obviously won't love him but if not trust me he'll be good enough for your simple tricks and flicks. His passing is good I mean he plays striker so you don't really need him to be a great passer and his short passing (86) is good enough to suffice. I very rarely see him or notice that he misplaces passes. I might add that his versatility is quite poor I would say you can only really use him as a striker I tried him out at left-wing and didn't love it as he wasn't involved enough, I also tried him at CAM and this was when his odd dribbling was noticeable. But, as a striker, he is truly fantastic. I don't really need to talk much about his pace (99) and I think it is a true 99 he does genuinely feel that fast. Now, penultimately his height of 6'1 is nice and alongside his near-perfect jumping (98) and his solid heading accuracy (89) is really good. As off lofted passes, he is virtually unstoppable in the air. Now lastly probably the most important stats considering his position in his shooting. I cannot express just how good it is but in a really odd way. As you can see from his Goal to Game ratio I've managed to score 218 goals with him in 132 games and over half of those are off of the bench. And I would really like to emphasize the point I made earlier of his 'odd' shooting maybe a bit different as it would seem terrible. This is because despite his good-looking long shots (89) I still cannot remember ever scoring a goal with him from outside the box with him. Furthermore, he can't really score finesse shots I really can't tell you why he just can't it always gets saved. You will just have to do with his chips and normal shots. And this is something that you really shouldn't be upset about because inside that 18-yard box he is automatic. If you get a split-second sight on goal with him, with a finisher his perfect finishing (99) and shot power (99) means well wow you're now one goal up :) Really just take my word for it please this card is amazing. The perfect striker.

Right, as I have mentioned before it is June. So, of course, there are loads of really good cards on this game right now. I'm gonna take a look at his stats compared to other LaLiga ST/CF and his price in comparison to them. Of all his Pace (99) is obviously best in that league as well as 3 other cards who also have the same pace stats. Now his Shooting (90) does land him 18th in the league of all Strikers, which may not seem that good but his actual shooting honestly is the best I've used this FIFA. I don't really think you would care that much about passing so onto Dribbling (92) he is ranked 10th within the position of the league so that is still really good considering his low balance does bring it down slightly. The last important stat for a Striker is his Physicality (90) which ranks him a solid 4th in the league. His base stats show him to be the 8th best in the league off face value so obviously, after all this, I wonder. How is a striker that is clearly so good even against amazing competition the 27th cheapest ST/CF within his league at 55k? Of players I used who I think are similar to him are the cheap option in TOTS De Tomas at around 39k. I really liked him having actually used him for quite a few rival's games and scored 16 goals in 18 games. But, he didn't have the same magic that Inaki has. The more expensive option in what I have used within his league is actually FUT Fantasy Anthony Martial set at 347k. I can honestly say that they are similar but I did think that Inaki was and is slightly better. Martial scored 14 Goals in 17 Games and truthfully I didn't really like him much.

So, to conclude, throughout the course of FIFA 22 I have used lots of different strikers and I really don't think that anyone compares to this card right here. He is really really good there is no denying it. I can see him being in my team all the way up until the end of the game he is really that good. Now I really really hope that you take a chance on this card and if you don't like him then I'm sorry but just give him a go, give it time and I am convinced you will love him.

Thank you so much for reading :)
