96 - TOTS
After struggling for ages to find a good Serie A attacker to be my primary striker, I've finally found an absolute beast in the form of Dusan Vlahovic.
Having gone through TOTS Osimhen who was crap, TOTS Berardi who was also crap and resorting to using EOAE Insigne as a ST (bad idea), this guy has saved me. I use him in a two striker formation next to TOTS Pellegrini who functions as a second striker and it works brilliantly. I feel he's best with another striker to play off, though he worked well for me in a 4-2-3-1 as a lone striker as well.
Pace
Pace felt a lot better than expected. I expected him to feel a little slow because of the height+body type combo but it feels 99, even without a boost.
Shooting
Shooting is utterly deadly. I use him on finisher to boost his volleys a bit and I find it has made a positive difference. WF shooting is brilliant too.
Dribbling
Dribbling is the biggest surprise for me- I expected him to be clunky and unresponsive but he's anything but. Feels surprisingly smooth on the ball and can actually dribble past defenders really well. Don't expect some R9 dribbling but for his size his dribbling is fantastic.
Physicality
Physicality is a tiny bit underwhelming. Headers are great but he doesn't quite feel like he has 99 strength. This could be a good thing though, as his dribbling would likely feel crap if he did. 99 Stamina is brilliant though
Passing
Passing is okay but nothing amazing. Engine makes a big positive difference to this though if that matters to you a lot, though personally I use him like a target man so this isn't a big issue to me
Overall
Overall, if you're looking for a big striker, capable in the air with lethal finishing then this is your guy. He's fast, surprisingly great on the ball, and has an utterly lethal finish with his head or either foot. I'd advise using on Finisher to max out the agility and volleys, though Engine is a good shout too. Another benefit to this card is I find him super consistent. Many cards I've had seem to be great one game and crap the next- this guy is Mr Consistent for me. 100% recommend.
