Player Review
91 - World Cup Hero
Got him in my pre-order icon pack and have used him over the past month or so. Have used him in every game since and is a main stay for my team. If you want buy him, he's pretty much worth bang on the price. There are way more pros then cons to Forlan, as you would expect. The best thing about him is that the ball is glued to his feet while dribbling, and especially with a chem style, hes rapid as well. His passing is very good for a forward and with his high/high work rate often drops in front of defenders to receive a pass to then send it on to a forward run from a winger with good accuracy. This can some times be annoying though, especially if your waiting for him to make a run forward but he stands in front of the defenders instead, waiting for a short pass. To the little amount of cons he has, he is clinical on his strong foot but he can often miss on his weak foot, so i would stick to he strong foot if you can. I often find (especially trying to dribble around defenders) that he can be pushed off the ball quite easily especially if your coming up against more higher rated and stronger defenders.
Overall though a very good player and worth the price if you play him right.
