I was lucky enough to pack an icon in WL rewards last week and finally had enough to buy a TOTY striker for literally the first time since I've started playing Ultimate Team - after a slow first few games, I started working out how to use his 99 strength effectively, as well as his brilliant positioning and he ended up with 53 goals and 29 assists through my first Weekend League.





First off, his shooting is outrageous - I scored plenty of screamers from the edge of box that went in off the crossbar and low drivens that went across the keeper and kissed the post on their way in - if not for some games where I got super goalied and a few chances that fell to his weaker foot either hitting the post or missing, he could have come close to two goals a game for me. His left misses occaisionally but if you get the ball anywhere near the 18 yard box on his right, it's either a goal or, worst case, a corner. He never misses.





The passing is fantastic too - he linked up perfectly with my TIF Aguero and both fed each other plenty of assists - there were a few misplaced balls when I'd turn and go, or if I tried to squeeze it into too tight an area, but that's on me, not him.





The main thing I was worried about was his dribbling, but he's so hard to push off the ball that even if you're not great at skill moves (like me) he rarely surrenders possession.





The pace is not an issue - I slapped catalyst on him (why do I need Hunter when his finishing is already 99?) and he kept up with all the Baillys and Boatengs I came across...and as for his strength? Well after I learned how to shield with him, he became an absolute bully - I even scored a few headers with him, which is nearly impossible in this game.





Overall, he is, hands down the best striker I have used this FIFA and probably in any FIFA. Get him if you have the coins.
