Lamine Yamal Player Review
Pros
Excellent pace and acceleration
Yamal has outstanding pace with very strong sprint speed and acceleration. He explodes into space quickly, making him deadly on counters and rapid attacking runs down the flank.
Elite agility and smooth movement
He feels extremely agile on the ball. His movement is fluid, turns are sharp, and overall gameplay feels very smooth, especially when changing direction at speed.
Top-class dribbling and ball control
His dribbling and ball control are excellent. He keeps the ball glued to his feet, reacts instantly to joystick input, and comfortably beats defenders in one-on-one situations.
Reliable finishing
Yamal’s finishing is excellent. Inside the box he is composed, accurate, and converts chances consistently, even under pressure.
Good long shots and shot power
From outside the box, he is a genuine threat. His long shots have good power and accuracy, making defenders hesitate to give him space.
Strong passing and crossing
All types of passing are very good. Short passes, through balls, and crossing are reliable, allowing him to contribute heavily to build-up play and chance creation.
Positional versatility
He can play as RM without any OVR drop. This flexibility makes him useful in multiple formations while maintaining the same high level of performance.
Useful shooting traits
Finesse Shot and Long Shot Taker traits improve his shooting consistency and give him more variety in finishing situations.
Cons
Weak foot limitation
His 4* weak foot is very good, but a 5* would make him even more consistent. In some situations, shots or passes with the weaker foot can slightly reduce accuracy.
Physical limitations
Physically he isn’t perfect. In body duels against stronger defenders, he can lose balance and miss out on some chances due to lack of strength.
Conclusion
Lamine Yamal is a fast, smooth, and highly creative winger with elite dribbling, sharp finishing, and strong attacking impact. While his physicality and weak foot slightly limit him, his overall performance still places him among the best wide attackers in the game.
