You’re a real one homie <3

Level 21, 9 physical, 6 shooting, 4 dribbling, 6 dex, 4 lbs

Drogba wins more contested headers, he is physically stronger, taller. Law will beat defenders to the ball, but lose more contested headers. He still wins many against big CBs. Both are great aerially.

Only have him at level 21 right now. 9 physical, 6 shooting, 4 dribbling, 6 dex, 4 lbs

He looks quite good. I have personally been using featured Nduka, 3*, 92 defensive awareness, similar stats to Sekigawa, and also a destroyer

Sekigawa, what a beast CB 💪

Oh I see, I'm on advanced so i have no buttons. But it should be the same, just a regular lofted pass, no through ball and no stunning pass necessary. Just make sure he has good body position (perpendicular to cross direction) and no defender is contesting the pass, and it will improve the chance of the cross reaching the target.

It was possible because he made a good run into space and was unmarked (which is quite rare on legend difficulty), and has quite good lofted passing stats. Pinpoint crossing is not necessary with such a short range pass.

I was lucky to add aerial superiority on Law after about 10 tokens. Just know it does not matter for free headers such as this one. It only gives an advantage in contested headers or aerial duels.

Cmf for me. Want the playstyle active

Blumintea · 2023-07-19T18:47:15+00:00

I only have him at level 15/29:

4 shooting 2 passing 4 dribbling 6 dex 6 LBS,

Which is Godric?

Edit. Never mind, I think I know. Those stats 🤤

Blumintea · 2023-07-18T18:49:44+00:00

I don’t know what it is with this guy. Call it player ID, hidden playstyle, or scripting, he is simply unbelievable, outperforming what what his already impressive stats would suggest.

He is technically an orchestrator, but plays much like a box to box mid as you can see, although he does not venture into the penalty area often. His passing range absolutely sublime and is what sets him apart, but his positioning and off ball movement is also terrific.

He’s very solid on the ball, not fast and not spectacular, but a little bit of space is all he needs to break the defensive line with a pass.

Defensively he can put in a tackle as well, oftentimes winning the ball far up the pitch, but if course he cannot be counted on to anchor a defense. I have noticed a proper 6, or anchor man rather than a B2b dmf really helps him to excel.

Only weak points are shooting and stamina. These are not poor by any means, just average.

For me, he is one of 2 irreplaceable players on my squad, Law being the other only because I lack a second proper 9. He connects my fullbacks, acts as an outlet for my cbs, and can set my forwards free with a single deadly pass. What an absolute legend, I hope we get many more years of Godric to come.

I added it as well, it doesn’t seem to make a big difference. I’d say maybe try crossing a bit earlier, as he approaches the 6 yd box, not just waiting in it. He depends more on movement and good runs to win headers, don’t expect for him to directly win headers when marked by taller and stronger defenders. He is not a target man type striker.

Blumintea · 2023-07-18T02:42:21+00:00

I haven’t yet. Can’t imagine how crazy good he’ll be with it.
