Prós

Consistently clinical in the box with accurate finishing and quick release.

Tight ball control allows effective movement inside the box.

Quick off the mark and can beat defenders on through balls, especially in short bursts.

Always in goal-scoring positions, intelligent runs behind defenders.

Contras

3 star Skill Moves severely limits creativity, ineffective against elite defenders or manual pressure.

Struggles in shoulder-to-shoulder duels and gets bullied by strong center-backs.

Not strong enough to play with back to goal or hold possession under pressure.

Offers little in buildup or creative passing, mostly a poacher.

Lacks the versatility and explosiveness of modern top-tier strikers.

Veredicto final

Lineker feels like a classic poacher with sharp finishing and intelligent positioning, but in today’s meta, his lack of skill moves, physical presence, and creative play severely reduce his effectiveness. He may score goals if well-fed but doesn’t offer enough outside the box to justify his ovr.
