So... I got this guy untradeable TWICE !!!! First in my OTW pack and then in the rigged 75+ upgrade pack... And oh lord when he came in to the team.. He have now played barely 100 games at LST with the Hawk in the 41212 (2) right next to CR7 - whom I also got untradeable from a SBC the first day - with Messi as a CAM. And they have the most insane partnership all of them. He is involved in 1,47 goals pr. game which is just insane, and all of them have come in Rivals (Now div. 1) and WL.
Nothing can hold the guy back from either running or scoring. Only the whistle from the referee. He is everything you wan't in ur striker position.
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.
