A Delightful Striker

By PrisonMike, 15-03-2022

I was lucky enough to get him in the cracked mid/prime player pick and I had gone all in, selling my TOTY HM Foden in order to afford the SBC veggie it was patched. Foden was an essential part of my squad and along with baby Cruyff, he was my top goalscorer. Eto'o picked up right where Foden left off and managed to surprise me with how prolific he is. He doesn't quite seem to have the same initial burst of pace that Foden did, maybe that's because he had custom animations, but regardless, he's an absolute menace on full sprint. His ball control is sublime and I had absolutely no problems getting rid of the stickiest of defenders like HM Kounde or TOTY Marquinhos. Eto'o has a certain jammy factor to him too, which Foden possessed as well, allowing him to win balls and wriggle through tight situations with relative ease. And then, once you're through on goal, it's essentially game over for the opponent. Near perfect shooting, a barely noticeable 4* WF, both meta shooting traits are all you need to put away every chance you get. His shot power and long shots are solid too so don't be shy to launch them from the edge of the box. He's scored some absolutely belters for me from range and has also humiliated some CBs with his filthy dribbling to get into positions for easy finishes. Needless to say, he's everything you'll ever need from an elite striker, and then some. An endgame card if there ever was one.

Sticky af dribbling
Near-perfect shooting
Excellent attacking AI
Good H/L workrates

Acceleration feels a little deceptive at times, mostly in bad gameplay.
