Do you not consider the ability to just straight up run past defenders at least 1-2 times a game to score from nothing to be a good thing? I'm not arguing that welliton isn't overpowered/paced,etc, but thats the whole reason people complain about him, he is way too good.

Yea Klose is good but I think in terms of raw effectiveness and EV Welliton is quite a way better. Ive played a lot of games with both.

**** 90th minute goals

Not sure if handicapping is real, but no way that 45th/90th minute scripting doesn't exist

you only get into situations to just run past defenders if you hit hopeless long trough balls up to him and get a lucky bounce or something

for a decent player sprint speed just is not a very important stat and i take a player with superior ball-control, finishing, dribbling, shot power etc etc over him any day of the week

welliton has mediocre ballcontrol, okish finishing, bad dribbling, decent heading(he is too small tho), mediocre longshots, mediocre shot power and mediocre passing
okish positioning, good agility and great acceleration and sprint speed
= useless

How is something hopeless if it works 1-3 times a game, every game? By that logic taking free kicks is beyond hopeless because people only score one of those against me like 1 out of 4 or 5 games.

it works 0-3 times a game because you hit like 50 aimless longballs to him hoping for a luckboxx rebound which usually only happens due to a physics glitch

playing a pass expecting to lose possession like 90% is frigging hopeless

And from a more hypotethical EV standpoint, lets say the long ball looses possession 90% of the time, but the other 10% of the time it leads to a 50-50 chance of a goal, then that seems extremely +EV.

which is only true if you are frigging awful

and of course i hate people who play that way, it has nothing to do with real football and is just a way to exploit game specific glitches/randomness and destroys all the fun

i win against 90% of those guys anyway(the other 10% is them running very hot while getting battered) just by being patient in possession probing for real openings making sure they get as few counter-attacking possibilities as possible

Why isnt it fun playing against people who let you have 65% possession? I love playing against teams like that

lol pace players are not just good for the idiots that do lobbed throughballs from their Def, it makes it sooo much easier to get the extra yard of space you need for a good shot. i cant remember the last fast break goal i scored with welliton but most of his come from dancing around the outside of the box and then hitting a longshot, or just being faster/stronger than the defender when you do one of the first time crosses.

thats acceleration not pace(which is a combination of multiple factors)
players like el shaarawy have great acceleration but lack overall pace

thats "reaction" "positioning" and "strenght"
nothing to do with pace either

In any case, I don't do many lobbed through balls at all. I do counter-attack a bit but almost always keep it on the ground/try to make safe passes. I was just pointing out the failing of your logic.

I like playing against those type of guys. I'm very good at defending the lobbed through ball now and love it when they just give me possession back over and over again.

IF lamela has insane dribbling/ballcontrol
amonst the best dribblers in the game but his endproduct is somewhat lacking(not a good crosser or finisher)

IF Gaitan is amonst the best "oldschool wingers"
good acceleration, amazing agility/ball control/dribbling and an outstanding delivery

Iflemela was ok for me but i had him rm so wasnt overly effective def great with the ball though.
Whats the fasinstion with higuain see a ton of people using him, i really dont see why he is any good his base stats seems so very average so unless his reaction and att pos are in th high 90s i must be missing something

IF higuain has superb ballcontrol/dribbling
in combination with great positioning/reactions, unbelievable finishing, very good longshots, 4* star weak-foot and decent enough link-up(passing) and heading it makes him the perfect poacher
