Player Review
91 - World Cup Hero
Many will underestimate this card because of his lack of skills and WF, but he really makes up for it with his amazing attacking AI paired with the clinical finishing skills. Very worth trying, if you aren't relying solely on skills.
Pace:
His pace is very good and he will run away of most defenders, once he has passed them. There are obv even faster attackers like Mbappe or Al Owairan, but he definitely is up there with the best attackers.
Dribbling:
His dribbling is quite good and he turns quite fast. The obvious letdown are his 3* skills and if you are a skiller or rely on moves like the scoop turn etc., he will likely not be the striker for you. However, as someone who enjoys skilling myself, I found it quite manageable to play with him even with his lack of skill moves.
Shooting:
His biggest strength. He scores goals for breakfast and has incredible conversion rate, once he can hit the high percentage strikes. Shot power is amazing as well. His left foot is also very usable, don't get distracted by his 4*WF, he can score great goals with both feet.
Defending:
Alright for a striker, but that's not what you are going to use him for anyways...
Passing:
His passing is alright, he rarely makes awful passes. However, do not expect him to give extraordinary assists, you want him to be your target man, not your playmaker.
Physical:
Very good strength. Defenders have a hard time getting him off of the ball, especially when he's gone past them. He will also score headers when in the right position, but this shouldn't be your focus when playing him.
Stamina is another major Pro, as you do not need to sub him off, at least within the regular playing time.
Other:
The thing that really makes this card is his attacking AI. He always finds space and positions himself in places where he can make the perfect runs. I would not think he'd be worth the price tag, if it wasn't for his incredible positioning. He makes runs like no other card and you will have to try him out to fully understand his greatness.
Who is this card for?
He will be great in a one or two striker setup, but should be your main target player.
Do not play him on the wing or as a wide cam, he will be wasted there.
If you hugely rely on skill moves, he might not be your choice.
Otherwise, go try him out, he is a very fun card and crucial in front of the goal.
