Hey guys! My first legit post here! Just to get some stuff out of the way, I am just starting with this whole sort of blog thing so, excuse me if I make any mistakes. Hopefully as I progress with my posts, I will be able to make much better content! I also just want to mention that this blog isn't all just about what I think, please feel free to post your thoughts, suggestions or requests in the comments below. I will read every single one! Now let's get started with this post! I realize a lot of youtubers do reviews on youtube, but I think writing all this down and being descriptive is better! I also know that the youtube reviews, are always on informs/toty cards, thats all cool but I think showing reviews of the normal versions is better, because not everyone is loaded with coins to spend. Dont fright, lol I will still be reviewing informs, but i also want to review regulars! So starting off today is Diego Forlan, the Uruguayan striker who plays for Inter Milan in the Serie A. Now this guy is a tank! His longshots are amazing! That is probably the best part of him, his shots are just remarkable. His shot is rated an 88 and it is definetly much better. He has a 93 rated longshot, and a 91 rated finishing, which shows why he is so beast! To add on to that he has 5 star weak foot! So you can crank it with either foot and the shot will be just as beast. However other than his shot, there really isn't any other area where he is skilled at. His finesse shot is not very good, so just use the regular shot when shooting with him which will not be a problem. One thing I really dont like is that he is 3 star skill moves. It is always annoying when your striker ins't at least 4 star skilled. He also has 74 pace, which is very slow, however I feel like he is faster in game, which is nice. His heading is actually pretty good, and if you cant get a header you can use a volley which he excels at. Because of his amazing shot, you should use him for free kicks and penalty kicks. He also has high attacking work rate which is always great. For my personal experience playing with him I actually enjoyed it! Even with the 3 star skills and low pace. He is just so good at finishing, and he can be put in a very serie A team. I used to play him as a striker, but due to the low pace I moved him down to CM. And yes it cost a good amount of money to position modify him that much! He is very good in the CM because he is able to get really good long shots, and not have his pace really effect him. He is also pretty good at passing so that makes him work well as a midfielder. The team I put him in consists of a 4-3-1-2 formation. Two strikers up front are Ibrahmiovic and Di Natale, Cavani as CF, Giovinco as LCM, Sneijder as CM, Forlan as RCM, Maicon as RB, Lucio and Mexes as my two CB's, and Taiwo as LB with Buffon in goal. I like Forlan on the left cause his left foot is just as good as his right. I wont go into all the other players now, they will be mentioned later. But as I said Forlan is beast in this setup and has produced many goals for me! I'd like to say Forlan kinda reminds me of the inform Honda, becase they are both 84 overall, 3 star skills and beast a finishing! You can pick up Forlan on the market for cheap!!!! Which is why you should get him, around 2000 on the PS3, around 1,800 on xbox 360 and around 1,900 on the PC. He should definetly be in your squad for a price like that! Hope you guys liked my first review, there will be much more to come!
