Pros

Gyasi Zardes is a physically strong and aggressive striker who thrives in direct, high-tempo attacking systems.

He possesses solid pace for a striker of his profile, allowing him to make effective runs in behind defensive lines.

His strength and balance make him difficult to dispossess, enabling him to hold off defenders during physical duels.

His finishing is reliable, and the presence of a 5-star weak foot makes him clinical with both feet, offering unpredictability in front of goal.

He has decent positioning in the final third, often making intelligent movements to get into scoring areas.

His aerial threat is a bonus, with good physicality helping him compete during set-pieces.

Cons

He has only 3-star skill moves, which limits his ability to beat defenders in 1v1 situations or execute more advanced dribbling techniques.

His overall dribbling and ball control are on the basic side, which makes him less effective in tight spaces or against compact defenses.

He lacks key attacking traits like Finesse Shot or Power Header, making him less versatile in varied finishing scenarios.

His passing and link-up play are fairly limited, so he isn’t ideal in possession-heavy or build-up-focused teams.

Alternatives

Final Verdict

Gyasi Zardes is a classic, direct striker built for strength, pace, and straightforward goal-scoring. His 5-star weak foot boosts his finishing capability significantly, but his limited technical skillset and lack of traits hold him back from being a top-tier option. Still, he’s very effective in counter-attacking or target-man roles.
