Prós

Surprisingly quick for a striker of his size, Lukaku has excellent straight-line speed. His sprint speed allows him to beat defenders in open space, especially when through on goal.

While his acceleration isn't lightning fast, once he gets going, he's hard to catch.

This is where Lukaku truly shines. His shooting power and accuracy with his dominant left foot are top-tier.

Lukaku is a physical beast. He’s incredibly strong, which allows him to bully defenders, hold up the ball, and shield possession effectively.

6'3(191 cm) Height along with Power Header Trait, this combination makes him one of the most dangerous aerial threats in the game. He's dominant on set pieces and can win aerial duels over almost any defender.

Contras

While not terrible, a 4-star weak foot limits Lukaku’s options when forced onto his right side.

Lukaku isn't a skill-based striker. His 3-star skills mean he lacks access to elite dribbling moves.

This limits creativity in 1v1 situations and makes it harder to break down compact defenses using flair or quick feints.

A noticeable drawback in longer matches. Lukaku tends to tire out quickly if you use him in a high-pressing or fast-transition system.

Due to his build and lower agility/balance stats, Lukaku can feel clunky at times, especially in tight spaces. He’s not ideal for tiki-taka or fast-passing systems that rely on quick ball circulation and nimble footwork.

Veredicto final

Romelu Lukaku is a classic power striker, tailor-made for players who value raw strength, shooting power, and dominance in the box. He’s a menace in aerial duels, bullies defenders with his size, and punishes opponents with his thunderous left foot. However, his limitations in dribbling, skill moves, and weak foot consistency mean he performs best when played to his strengths. Use him as a target man, a focal point for crosses, or as the finisher in a two-striker system where a more agile partner can complement his style.
