Good ebening everyone, Imma do a quick 98 Lewandowski for you guys. So I packed this card out of one of those upgrade packs, my first TOTY card ever.

I use Lewandowski in a 4-3-3(2) with an Engine chemstyle and I have a possession based style of play so my review will be based on my experience in said chemstyle and playstyle/formation, take this into account. So far I've used him in 10 WL games and he has been spectacular. Secured me the win in games where I'd lose it normally.

Pace: Uncatchable. If you drop it behind the defense he's gone.

Shooting: Kinda speaks for itself really. With 98 shooting, what do you expect? Bangs them in from all angles, in the box, out of the box, left foot or right foot (feels like a 5*), you name it. For some reason his Positioning really stands out for me. Always makes the run at the perfect time, when you want to drop the ball over the defense (in the opponent's box it's even more noticeable) he holds his run and positions himself in a way where you get the best angle to take the shot and he like, doesn't get cought offside? He's been offside like 3 or 4 times MAX so far. Also, he takes the shot very fast, faster than most players I've used so far. When you press the shoot button it feels like the ball immediately leaves his foot, which gives the defender less time to block and keeper less time to adjust etc.

Passing: Also really surprised me. I like to play with a striker with (very) good passing, because I like to involve him in the build-up. This year I have used both Messi and 90 Eto'o in that role and honestly they were amazing but Lewa is just bonkers man. Can play it short to one of your mids, switch play to one of your wingers... What stands out for me is is his one touch passing. I've had multiple IG situations so far where he's holding off the defender, receives the ball and immediately gives a perfect through ball in the space behind the opponents defense to one of my midfielders/wingers, without them having to adjust their run.

Dribbling: Doesn't feel clunky at all, if anyone tells you different they're lying or their gameplay just sucks. Can dribble in and out of tight spaces and actually feels very smooth and responsive on the ball. He's no Messi but still.

Physicality: Lasts 120mins without any problems, very aggressive when trying to win the ball back and his areal presence is phenomenal. If you like to cross the ball into the box he's the guy you're looking for. Rarely lost a header against his direct opponent so far and heads it in the top corner with ease. Now, some of you may have read the comments and noticed how a lot of people have been saying that 99 Strength is fake. Kinda have to agree, doesn't feel like 99 strength, more like high 80's. Doesn't get bullied of the ball, just has these moments where you think "with 99 strength he shouldn't be losing the ball like that".

So to TL;DR: Insane at literally everything, plays like a nr. 10 in attack.

I think that's it really, hope it's useful for you guys.

I have never used a better striker in any FIFA, ever. I have never had the luck or money to buy a TOTY or elite Icons/Legends, but I packed this guy, and wow. He is genuinely fast, not Mbappe fast, but like gold Messi with a hunter fast. For someone that is 6'1" that is a crazy amount of speed. He is incredibly hard to knock off the ball with his 99 strength. His dribbling feels amazing, kind of like a barely clunkier Neymar. What Lewa has that Neymar doesn't is the sticky feet, balls just seem to magnetize to his feet so even if the ball is slightly knocked off, it always comes right back. His passing is good, but that's not why you are using him. Finally, his shooting is god-tier, goals that never went in with FB Benzema, FB Icardi, gold Messi, and gold Neymar find the back of the net with Lewa.

I was super fortunate to pack this card right as he came out and I managed to play almost 30+ matches with him. My initial thoughts on him were mixed, sometimes he played like the greatest player of all time, and other times he was just the most unresponsive card in the game (LewanDISNEY). This was probably due to the gameplay when the servers were so congested due to TOTY but in good and responsive gameplay he's an absolute joy to use. I've linked a Youtube video below showing some of the goals and chances I had with him.

His pace was unbelievable, he would simply blitz past players, and the second he was through the last man no one could catch up to him. His Shooting was unreal, I don't think I need to comment on it besides that it's basically a goal every time you shoot on target from the box. He can also hit some nasty longshots. The one thing that surprised me the most was his passing, he was simply incredible, he could hit 40-yard pings with pinpoint accuracy, and definitely was the trait that surprised me. His dribbling was super responsive when the gameplay was good but with the servers so busy a few times he felt clunky and missing from the entire game. Finally, his strength, I mean the man is literally a tank with a Formula 1 Engine.

I saw a lot of people that said this Lewa card it's so good or it's so bad, i think Lewa it's a very balanced card in terms of what give you in game.

I play him with engine in a formation with 2 strikers 4-4-2 or 4-2-2-2.

He is a good striker, but he is not that fast and he doesnt have 90 agility even with engine.You should pair him with a very fast striker (for me i use Jesus Ice, and even Jesus it's below on pace than Lewa, he feel so much fast and the dribling it's better on Jesus)

Used him in 10 games to qualify for fut champ(9-1) and 17 games in fut champs(13-4) , in 27 games he assisted 7 times and scored 40 goals.

I bought him for 1.08KK, i think for what he offers in game, the price it's too good to not try him, i link him with Goretzka TOTY Nom and Puskas MID, i do not think he should be more than 1.5 or 1.6kk, there are more players that are better than Lewa in ST position(Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe , all TOTY, Cruyf mid and prime, Eusebio, they are all better than Lewa, but they are not cheap), the one that come's too my mind now and are like near coins value him it's Eusebio MID(2 mil coins).

I do think the Shoting of Lewa it's on the second place on this game( behind Messi TOTY, used Messi too)

For me for 1KK, this is a game Changer ( swapped from Messi OTW, Benzema and others Icon Strikers Butra, Daglish prime to this TOTY Lewa)

I packed this guy in an 81+ Attackers 3 player pack. I was completely shocked and of course had to give him a go. Physically this guy is a beast! Holds onto everything and good in the air. If you know what you are doing in the final third Lewa's shot is almost automatic. His pace kind of lets him down sometimes but honestly its usable. Dribbling can be a little stiff sometimes but play him more as a target man and you'll be fine.
