Player Review
91 - OTW
Haaland led my offense last weekend league. I play with a 4231 with pressure once the ball is lost, not very high on the field, favoring the game on the flanks and 1-2 with Zidane COC to take advantage of the spaces and launch with a through ball or Zidane himself or the striker, in this case Haaland. I have to say so far, and my credit budget is around 4 million, that he is the best performer of the role I've played so far. He's not a technical player, you can't dribble between defenders, but his incredible acceleration and progression (lenghty i love you) and strength combined with a cynical shot make him the perfect striker for this type of formation. I finished the WL with 14 wins and 6 losses, and maybe a couple more I could have won if I hadn't messed around defensively a bit too much. Also considering the 10 qualifying rounds, out of 30 total games Haaland scored 31 goals and served 18 assists, for a total of 49 contributions, which translates into 1.6 contributions per game. I have to say I was expecting a bit more on the header, but it's probably me who's bad at aerial balls in general. Unexpectedly, I don't think he missed a single pass, either low shot or through a high pass. And honestly considering the stats I was ready for the worst. Highly recommended.
