Player Review
93 - TOTY Icon SBC
Was looking for a new striker to add to my team and when his SBC came out thought nothing of it as was never a huge fan of his other cards however when I saw he had been given a 4* upgrade on his SM I was intrigued.
Completed him with fodder I had in my club and was worth it. His shooting is phenomenal when he's hitting it with his left foot and can strike the ball well with his right too. Only issues I've found with his shooting is he can struggle to hit the ball cross goal with his weak foot when you aren't using timed shooting. His dribbling is good enough that it can allow him to stop and go when he needs and can do step overs well enough to allow you to speed boost past defenders. Does get bullied off the ball when he is pressured by an elite defender with high strength.
His positioning in the box for cutbacks, passes, crosses is exceptional. One of the best cards I've used for this when you have his instructions set up right.
Have played him as a sole striker and also as a partnership with another forward with better passing and I found that he is far better in a two striker set up (I think this shows with the negative reviews on him having him being used as a sole striker).
Played most of my games with him in Div 3 but some in Div 4 too. Passing good enough to play it back to allow him to run through.

Can't play effectively as a sole striker.
