How He Feels In-Game
Pace
Very good pace for a striker.
His acceleration is strong and helps him burst past defenders quickly. Step over speed is decent, not elite, but effective enough. Once he reaches top speed, he’s hard to catch.
Best used in counter attacks and through balls.
Finishing / Shooting
Top-tier finishing.
His finesse shots are very accurate with good curve. Power shots are strong and consistent. The Outside Foot Shot trait makes his shooting more reliable from difficult angles.
His 4★ weak foot is also consistent, so he doesn’t miss easy chances.
Heading is also solid for his height.
Dribbling
Decent but slightly heavy.
He doesn’t feel very smooth compared to agile strikers, but his ball control is still good. With 4★ skill moves, roulette and lane change work well.
Fake shots are effective to create space before shooting.
Physicality
Very strong.
One of his biggest strengths. He can hold off defenders easily and maintain possession. Hard to push off the ball, which makes him very reliable in duels.
Positioning
Very good attacking movement.
He stays in position and makes forward runs during counters. Not the smartest AI compared to top meta strikers, but still very effective if used properly.
Stamina
Good but not perfect.
He starts losing stamina around 75–80 minutes, so you may need a substitute late in the game.
Weakness
Stamina
Drops in the final minutes, which can affect performance if you rely on him for full match intensity.
Recommendations
➡️ Suggested Skill Moves: Roulette & Lane Change
➡️ Suggested Formation: Best in 2 striker formations
➡️ Tip: Try to shoot with his strong foot for maximum consistency
