Usually I'm on the other side of reading reviews on players for research, I'm surprised this guy hasn't gotten a review yet? Well let me change that a few weeks after this guy's release... WOW easily my most used striker so far this year despite not even getting an upgrade yet as of 11/17/2024. This guy can genuinely do it all, poach, target man, drop back as a false 9. EVERYTHING! I've played multiple weekend leagues and rivals with this guy. I'll admit I'm not the best of players, but this man has kept me competitive for weeks. His accuracy in terms of shooting and passing stood out to me the most. Left foot, Right foot his finesse shots were so dangerous and scary ALWAYS ACCURATE. When opponents account for that when he's alongside a darting striker like adeyemi or bombing wingers like Bale or Adama he can easily lay off a perfect through ball on the ground or over the air for them to put in the back of the net! And his pace? Well if you haven't noticed speed isn't very important for attackers this year with how easily defenders catch up, but his 80 pace is more than enough to cover for that don't expect to outpace anyone but a perfect timed through ball to him and a first time shot will suffice. His 87 strength is enough to shield off defenders too despite not having press proven, but he's really not a great dribbler only serviceable he's not a guy that can snake around the box like past Correa cards(real ones know). If you're looking for a comparison think of him as similar to Karim Benzema cards in past Fifas/EAFCs decent pace, great attacking AI, Dangerous shot, and amazing passing, but despite not having the same physical stats he has that strong bully nature of a Erling Haaland sometimes and has very accurate heading not a 24/7 aerial threat though, but can score them. Overall I love this card so much. His price is kind steep unfortunately, but this guy will last on your teams for a long time if you like a guy that offers more than just simply pace this guy is a BIG 9/10 for me!
-AMAZING shooting his finesse shot is up there with the best in the game like Morgan, Salah, Griezmann.
-Passing is almost perfect, 9/10 times his ability to get the ball in the box for bombing wingers will succeed.
-Heading is very accurate especially with power header normal, he might not have aerial but is very consistent if you cross to him at good times.
-Very physical, but there's room for improvement I used a hunter, but a Hawk would make him just as dangerous and competes with the VVDs and Salibas of defenses out there.
-Flexibilty, He can play Advanced Forward, False 9, Target Forward so easily with or without the +, he can do almost everything you need him to do.
-Dribbling... If you play it smart he can outmaneuver defenders for a great finesse opportunity, but don't rely on it. Despite an 80 agility his body type and height still make him turn like a truck sometimes even with an engine.
-Stamina? If you're going to use him as a running poacher and not his Advanced Forward++(easily his best role) he may tire out with 79 stamina and you may have to sub him out at the 70th minute. BUT I doubt anyone uses him like that...
-Jumping could be a lot better, his big 6'2 frame and 88 jumping will suffice, but only having power header and no aerial to support don't rely on spamming crosses all game if you're that kind of player...
