History 2019

Lacina Traore may not be quite as good as he was in previous FM versions, but the 6ft 8 striker is still one of the best Target Men in the game. A few low stats in Positioning and Teamwork are more than made up for with the player’s excellent Jumping, Finishing, Strength, First Touch and Flair. Not the most proven goalscoring player, but used as a Target Man, he will give your other players plenty of knock-downs to use. So, a technically sound and physically dominant striker like Lacina is well worth a look for some brute force in your front-line. His asking price of £7m is value for money over time that’s for sure….
