Player Review
94 - OTW
You might think, a review on OTW Lewa, already just after a day?
We all know that if a player is good, he is good. You don't need to play many games to find out. In fact, I have only played 8.
In those 8 games he already made a pretty big impact for me and my awful playing style. So much so that I wanted to give this card a big fat thumbs up on Futbin.
Pace:
First let's talk about the elephant in the room, his pace. All your snobby friends will say this card is not usable because "OnLy 75 PaCe SlOwEr ThAn My DeAd GrAnNy"
You can kindly tell them, to shut it. Pace is not the end of the world in this game. I have had opponent's defenders with 75 pace catch up with Vinicius.
That being said, he indeed feels a bit slow sometimes. Especially moving when he has the ball. But give him a pass through at the right time and he is gone. Even if defenders catch up, he is strong enough to keep them off the ball. Also, he will for sure get upgrades because, well he is Robert Lewandowski isn't he? He is totally useable next to a pacy striker or as a lone 9 if you give him crosses.
Shooting:
His shooting is out of this world, which is to be expected of course. If you know when and how to shoot, it is a goal every time. The man also is capable of a great longshot.
Passing:
For me a really important one. I am one of those tiki-taka snobs who does not like it when a player has the ball for more than 2 seconds. This because I can't skill to save my life. His passing is accurate when you need it to be and that's that.
Dribbling:
I am not going to sit here and sugarcoat this card into oblivion; dribbling is a bit of a hit or miss. Sometimes in tight situations in the box he does exactly what you want him to do. This then results in a goal. But I find that it goes hand in hand with a bit awkward ball movement other times. I suggest using his strength in tough situations to beat defenders, not his dribbling skills.
Defending:
Why would you mention defending on an attacker? Well because Robert does not like it when the defenders have the ball. I have seen him make great interceptions. This helps a lot.
Physical:
Wow, just wow. He is strong like a bear. I am pretty sure he is the reincarnation of Wojtek the soldier bear. Good luck getting the ball from him if he is defending it with his strength. Bayern superheroes academy really did him good and it shows ingame.
Long story short:
He is like Wojtek. Big and strong. He is not always quick, but he carries the artillery. Get your shots off with him and watch the madman winning you games single handedly.
Do you need a hattrick? Call Robert.
Do you need a last minute winning header? Call Robert.
Do you need to bully your opponent's defenders when they are passing around? Call Robert.
He will scam your opponent's defence like Slippin' Jimmy scammed Chuck. He'll just do it a bit slower, but he gets the job done. A good and fun card, but for the price, there are better ones.
- In the right place at the right time
- Shots harder than concrete outside of the box
- Strong like Wojtek
- Comes in clutch
- His pace will go up due to upgrades, I'm sure of it.
- As of now, sometimes his pace on the ball is just not good enough
- There are better options for the price
