With a Hunter compared to Ben yedder he has ...

98 Pace vs 97 of Ben Yedder- His 98 pace combined with his 90+ Dribbling means he can easily get past the Kimpembe's , Hakimi's and Mendys's of the world. He feels as fast as any player I've used. No complaints. He also makes great runs into space so 1-2's with him are so hard to stop.

95 Shooting vs 94 of Ben Yedder - 99 finishing , 94 shot power, 92 longshots, and 99 Volleys. His only weakness is his penalties but I'm sure we all have at least one decent penalty shooter in the team so it's not a big deal. His 4 star weakfoot would appear to be his main con vs Ben yedder... but then again I scored multiple 1 v1 's , a 1st time volley, and a long range finnese shot with his left. The finnese was far post, and 1v1's and volley were across body. So overall I'd say his 4 star weakfoot feels like a 5 star weakfoot.

90 Dribbling vs 90 of Ben Yedder - he has 93 agility with 90 balance, 90 ball control, and 91 dribbling. That combined with his 4 star skills should be great for most people. He might not feel as smooth as Vini or Messi but he's definitely good enough to where you don't NEED a Chem style boost. I'm using him at cam so I might try Finisher eventually but right now he's doing amazing with hunter so no point in changing anything.

82 passing vs 82 of Ben yedder- 88 vision with 86 short passing is good enough for quick 1-2s and link up play but his 70 long passing isn't going to impress anyone especially if you are using an actual CAM or Midfielder in that role right now. But his pace shooting and dribbling make him the perfect cam for me since all I need is short passing for the most part.

77 Physical vs 74 of Ben yedder- he's not going to bully anyone with his 74 strength but the 82 Aggression vs 66 of Yedder definitely helps him win the ball back when your opponent is trying to play out of the back. Also his short height combined with high balance makes it difficult for people to take the ball away from him. I think the physical is good enough for most people, especially since I'd rather have the high agility balance and dribbling which is hard to find in taller stronger players.

Overall- He's in my opinion the ideal CAM or Striker for this game. I was previously playing FB Benzema and Banza striker with Mbappe at CAM (Mbappe is untradable and I did the Banza SBC a few days before flashback Benz came out). I was waiting for Ben Yedder to drop to less than 600k or keep trading so I could eventually afford him and get rid of Banza. But when this card came out and I got him for 350k and put Benz and Mbappe up top, I realized this guy is the perfect Ben Yedder alternative for 1/3 of the price. I really don't know how Correa is less thsn 400k and Numbers up Jota, RB Dembele, SS Ben Yedder, etc are all 400k up to 900k. Yes I know those guys have 5 star weakfoot on the card but trust me Correas 4 star weakfoot is literally no different than his strong foot. If you're on the fence about getting him trust me just get him. If you buy for 400k or less, you're literally getting a card with stats similar to the guys I mentioned, and also similar to numbers up Felix who's around 800k.

In 9 games played in division 3 and 2 he helped me win 7, tie one, and lose 1. His stats were 16 goals and 9 assists in those 9 games with 3 rage quits.

This man is the best striker ive used this year. Ive used flashback discardi, prime raul, WW martial, adidas felix, prime hugo sanchez and flashback benzema. But nothing comes close to this card. I dont know why but he always makes the right run, his positioning is unmatched by anyone else ive used. His attacking AI just knows what to do.

Pace:

with a hunter hes perfect and isnt caught by defenders when running in behind. His small body type and agility means he can burst away quickly from attackers.

Shooting: almost perfect, scores from ludicrous angles and that 92 longshot is so noticeable and can get you a cheap goal when struggling in a game. The only thing i would say is his composure 1/100 times lets him down, when he could have shot earlier he sometimes hesitates.

Dribbling: crazy agility and balance, small and short so weaves between defenders, and has solid reactions when reacting to passes to him.

Passing: 86 short passing does the job and his over the top through balls are decent to zola in behind.

Defending: can win the ball back occasionally with his aggression, and ive noticed he intercepts a lot

Physical: not strong but is a fighter, he will battle CBs when getting to through balls nd a lot of the time gets through with his aggression and balance. He doesnt body people as he is weak. His stamina is fine for 120 mins cc

Overall hes crazy and carried me to top 5% in elite division.

Seriously this card is very good. I wouldn't go as far to say it's unbelievable as there are a few small drawbacks. But for the price I don't think you can get a better solo striker that feels this good.

Shooting

He can finish from anywhere inside or outside the box even without shooting traits (slight drawback) however his left foot feels underwhelming occasionally (5* WF would make this card S tier in my opinion). I have used this card in the elite division and champs qualification so far and he has scored 37 goals (yes, 37) in only 21 games. He's an absolute beast at finding the back of the net.

Dribbling

His dribbling is nice but not elite and sometimes turns a bit stiffly in comparison to a SS Ben Yedder or Vini, probably due to the average body type. It is good enough to beat defenders in close situations but does leave a bit to be desired. He doesn't have the ability to "dance" like a Messi or Vini. Skill moves feel responsive and fluid.

Pace

His pace is a tiny bit lacking but it feels generally alright when using a hunter chem style. Enough to beat defenders a lot of the time when making runs in behind. Could do with a tiny bit more acceleration.

Passing

Not much to be said, feels fine as a solo striker. Don't expect any crazy passing like a Ginola or Neymar but is definitely good.

Physicals

He is good at shielding off defenders most the time unless you are against a defender with very high strength but don't expect to be bully anyone with his 5'7 frame. The aggression is quite nice as he will track down the ball when he loses it.

AI

This is where the card is really nice and offers more than a lot of strikers in the 100-250k price range, he makes very intelligent runs and often fills open spaces. He knows when to come short and also when to make runs in behind. Makes the right choice in 9/10 situations.

Comparisons

I have used a lot of great strikers this year. Mbappe, NoUp Felix, Cruyff, SS Yedder, Ginola to name a few. He isn't on the same level as Mbappe, Cruyff, Ginola or Yedder but for a fraction of the price you cannot be surprised. Unfortunately after using all these strikers I have been left with Correa so I could fuel my pack addiction. But I am very happy using him and imagine he will remain in my team for at least 3-4 weeks.

Overall

He is very good especially for the price. I think you would struggle to find a better striker in this price category (that isn't an SBC). If you have a LaLiga squad I would highly recommend him. Don't expect the world out of him but he'll do a very nice job at a reasonable price.

I had the luck to pack this guy from a preview pack

AT first i thought he would be game changing

but the way dribbles is so bad i know this sounds crazy but believe me his 80 composure feels like 50

i had ben yedder and i changed my striker for him and it was not worth it

Dont get me wrong tho his shooting is very clinical and consistent
