Detail Review
Pace
+
He has good speed and makes strong runs behind defenders, but don't expect an explosive pace burst. His acceleration feels steady rather than instant, so he won't leave elite defenders behind in one touch. Still, once he gets going, he's quick enough to stay effective on counters and attacking runs.
(8.8/10)
Dribbling
+
His joystick dribbling feels smooth and responsive, and his ball control is clean in tight spaces. However, don't expect crazy skill stun when taking on defenders. He can carry the ball well and create space with simple movements, but he isn't the type of striker who beats defenders using flashy skills.
(8.9/10)
Shooting
+
Clinical is the best word to describe him. The Clinical Finisher playstyle makes his finishing ridiculously consistent, while Chip Shot is surprisingly useful against rushing keepers. Inside the box he rarely disappoints.
(9.9/10)
Positioning
+
His attacking is excellent. He constantly looks for gaps between defenders and is almost always available for through balls or cutbacks. Feels like he's in the right place at the right time.
(9.6/10)
Passing
+
Passing is decent for a striker. Short passes and quick one twos work well, but don't expect him to create attacks with long through balls. He does his job in build up play.
(8.7/10)
Physical
-
He can hold off defenders at times, but don't expect him to bully strong CBs every match. In shoulder to shoulder duels he can get pushed off the ball, so it's better to finish the attack quickly instead of trying to shield for too long. His jumping helps in the air, but his overall physical presence isn't one of his biggest strengths
(8.6/10)
Stamina
-
His stamina is noticeable in longer matches. Around the final stages of the game he starts slowing down, especially if you're constantly making runs. Still usable till full time, but you will feel the drop.
(7.9/10)
Weak Foot
+
His 4★ weak foot is reliable enough to finish chances comfortably on either side. Passing with his weak foot also feels consistent, so it rarely becomes a problem.
(9.2/10)
Final Verdict
Lineker is a decent striker and definitely gets the job done, especially if you like a simple finisher who stays inside the box. His finishing is clinical and his positioning helps him score consistently. However, the lack of pace burst, limited skill stun and average physicality make him feel less threatening against top meta defenders. He's still a solid option, but if you're chasing the absolute meta, there are better strikers available.
