86 - IF
Another Fifa another year of meta Aspas.
I've been waiting for a special card for Aspas and was very excited seeing the Celta Barca score knowing this card was coming.
As always he's reliable in front of goal with all his shots looking dangerous. Can score from anywhere inside the box and the occasional goal from outside of the box.
Thanks to his high dribbling base stat all he needs is a hunter and he's a lethal striker in any formation with 2 strikers.
It seems he never get's the recognition he deserves and his cards are always undervalued.
Shooting: Is able to finish from anywhere in the box and occasionally outside of it
Pace: This card is rapid nothing more to it
Dribbling: Very good as a base stat doesn't need an chem style on it
Skills: 3 stars in enough for him to beat a defender to get 1 on 1 with the keeper and usually scores
Physical: Will sometimes be brushed off the ball by a strong defender if you get a skill wrong on a pass wrong
Passing: His only real weakness, his passes can sometimes be a bit all over the place
Stamina: Will not work in a box to box tactics or in a high pressure system will need to be put on stay forward.
So I got aspas in my reds and I originally took him for fodder because of his rating but as I was switching between teams i decided to give him a go and oh wow I was not disappointed.
I played him up front next to Fekir in a 4-1-2-1-2 (2) formation OFF CHEM with a hunter, and even while being on 7 chem this guy could shoot SO WELL I was actually so impressed, even with his 4* wf he scored insane goals, it felt like a 5* wf (at times).
When I first played with him the first thing I noticed was his pace, he is one of fastest players I've used (this was when he was on full chem with a hawk but still is just as fast off chem with a hunter), his passing never let me down.
The only bad things I noticed was his balance (which wasn't that bad) , his skills (but I am not a skiller so that didn't really effect me), and his physicality, however as he is small and really fast his strength didn't matter too much as he could just run past defenders.
If you are thinking of buying him DEFINETLY do because he is one of the best strikers I've ever used so far.
