Avantages

Can hold off defenders easily and win aerial duels, making him effective in hold-up play.

Strong shot power and decent finishing inside the box, especially on his dominant foot.

Can distribute the ball well for a striker, useful for link-up play and short passes.

Inconvénients

Struggles to outrun fast defenders, making him less effective in counterattacks.

Weak Foot Issues (3 star WF) his shots and passes on his weaker foot are inconsistent, limiting his effectiveness in certain situations.

Feels stiff while turning, making it difficult to get past defenders in tight spaces.

Cannot perform advanced dribbles like roulettes or elasticos, reducing his ability to beat defenders one-on-one.

Alternatives

Verdict final

He is a unique but unconventional choice. His physicality, shooting, and passing make him useful as a target man or support striker, but his lack of pace, weak foot, and dribbling limitations hold him back from being an elite striker. He performs best in possession-based playstyles rather than fast counterattacks.
