92 - Icon

5.0

Best FIFA Striker since Doumbia

By dburger, 02-03-2023

An emotional player, a fast, agile and good in the air player. Bangs longshots and can pass well. He can do everything. The only step up Icon in the game from him is R9. 1.6 for this card is a steal. He is a guaranteed to be involved with a goal every game. You can play him alongside others in a 2 striker formation or by himself. I've done both.

Fun fact: I once scored 6 goals and 2 assist with him in a WL game. Then 4 in the next. He is unreal.

First WL with him he scored 32 goals and 10 assists.

He currently as ST has 289 goals in 293 games with 140 assists. He is insane. I play him along side WC Kewell and POTM Mbappe in a 4321. Eto'o is always in the right spot and is just so quick.

Sidenote: Mbappe and Kewell are also fantastic, Kewell is underrated this game in my opinion.

To resume...

Eto'o never gets outpaced.

CHEM STYLE: ENGINE is best, what I used mainly. His shooting doesn't change. Its already top tier.

Physical: 8.5/10

Just enough to never piss you off. Just enough to piss off the opponent. He has strength but of course he doesn't have the Haaland strength and no chem style can change that.

Pace: 10/10

Its insane.

Shooting: 10/10

He wont miss. It'll always be at least on target.

Passing: 10/10 he's a striker, not a midfielder. I've used him more out wide and was alright but its a waste. His passing was good but why would you not play him central. His passing is more than enough for a striker. If you need a last second pass for a sweat goal, or a give a go, etoo wont give off a terrible pass.

Def: NA

Has good defense, as in, great heading if you bring him in the box, or applying high pressure, his aggression is alright and his strength comes in handy.

Dribbling: 9/10

He is a true striker, he doesnt have the R9 type of dribbling or Mbappe dribbling, but is still better than 99% of strikers in the game for dribbling.

Everything. One of the best strikers you can get in the game and one of the most fun, nothing makes the opponent quit faster than Prime Eto'o scoring early on in the game.

Physical could be higher, and a 5 star weakfoot would make the card more complete. And of course expensive.

Samuel Eto'o

"Little Milla" exceeds all expectations

When the Baby Eto'o was there to snap up in SBC's, I was in heavy doubt. 800k for the base version? I decided not to go for that one... So I have been saving coins, and trying out bargain OP players such as Moise Kean POTM, Richarlison OTW and Steven Bergwijn WCS. They all had something, but they all didn't really feel right. I needed that clinical finisher, with enough agility to help me, not a skill-spammer, break defense...
