I have a 6'5 French striker on loan in the English south national league.
His finishing, dribbling, first touch, technique, anticipation, composure, flair, are all below the quality of other teams best strikers. Just looking at his attributes he has the skill and pitch IQ of a reluctantly rostered backup at this level and he doesn't have any traits either.
He's huge tho, and pretty athletic. A tale as old as time, but I've never had dominance on this level. I don't remember exact numbers as I'm at work, but he currently has right around 15 goals and 10 assists in 9 games played. Far and away leading the league in average rating with damn near an 8.5. leading in goals. Might be in assists as well, don't remember.
My other striker who I actually have under contract is a comparable athlete with better all around skills, and he's not performing on the level of his counterpart for some reason.
But the guy is dominant. A target man on support duty. We lump the ball up the field to him, he wins the aerial possession battle and is a master of the flick on. (He does have like 10 passing which it great for a striker at this level)
He just breaks defenses open like walnuts at this level and everyone is benefitting as well, not just a one man show.
I'm not asking questions, just riding the lightning to promotion 😂
