megafan2005 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Ezequiel Iván Lavezzi is a 25 year old striker who plays for Napoli in Serie A. Nicknamed "El Pocho" he moved from his first professional team Estudiantes to Genoa in Italy during the 2004 season. He did not last long featuring in no league games for Genoa and was sold back to Argentina once Genoa hit financial problems. He led San Lorenzo to the Apertura in 2005 and the Clausura in 2007. His solid form led him back to Italy at the beginning of the 2007/2008 season. Napoli used him as the focal point of their attack and he is well-known for his dribbling skills and adored by the fans for it. In FM he starts with brilliant stats which allow him to fulfil a variety of roles. I signed him at the start of the second season for Bayern Munich and he quickly become the greatest attacking threat the club had not just with goals but with assists as well. Lavezzi has some standout attributes especially his ability to not just finish with a bang but also get his teammates involved in the game His stats for the the first season and part of the second season. Check the stats at the bottom of the screen for his first full season in German football to get the picture Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0rmat Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 IIRC in my Fiorentina game he was the Seria A top scorer 2 seasons in a row. Him and Cavani helped Napoli to a scudetto. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
megafan2005 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 Yeah he led Napoli to Serie A in my game before I picked him up also, in his 14 games plus 4 sub appearances this season he has 19 goals and 5 assists. Club legend soon enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisandro Lopez Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Always liked him as a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_wilko Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 How do you recommend playing him? Playing him alongside Cavani with Hamsik in the hole behind them. Playing Hamsik as Advanced Playmaker attack, what role would suit the two up front? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gagne12 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 How do you recommend playing him? Playing him alongside Cavani with Hamsik in the hole behind them.Playing Hamsik as Advanced Playmaker attack, what role would suit the two up front? He was a beast in my 3rd season with Fiorentina. Played him upfront on his own as a poacher with 3 central AM's behind him (Jovetic, Hamsik, Ljajic). He was top scorer in Serie A and helped me win the title. Great ability to knock the ball past defenders and blow by them with his pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 He is easily retrainable to AMR/L and he has amazing att's for both the central and wide roles, maybe even better when used wide. He looks so good and versatile I think he's a must buy if available for a reasonable price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_wilko Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 changed my formation to a 4-1-3-2 with three CMs and two up top. Playing Cavani as a poacher and Lavezzi as a modified DLF next to him. In the old style, Lavezzi hadn't scored for 5 games. He now has 7 in in 11 games meaning in his past 6 games he's scored 7 times. He's also chipped in with 3 assists and an average rating of 7.53 Much better.

alienated Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 does he adapt quickly? I was thinking of buying him or pazzini for the epl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgar555 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Not working for me as a DLF/support alongside poacher Cavani. Any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stgahoy Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Always been tempted to retrain him to AMR position, but wasnt transfer listed in my Juve games so he wasnt interested. Non the less his stats looks fabulous for that position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe__the__man Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Not working for me as a DLF/support alongside poacher Cavani. Any ideas? Make sure he's running with the ball often, and shooting from distance at most sometimes, should be fine. Remember that he's the link man for Cavani and not the main goalscorer himself.

Cheers Joe, he's started doing the business, I've set him as TM/to feet and he's now got 12 goals and 8 assists in 27, not phenomenal but he's averaging 7.5 and pretty crucial to how we play. Cavani is always ahead of him and Hamsik often gets up there too and Lavezzi links well with both as well as drifting wide and bringing Maggio into the game.

Remember that he's the link man for Cavani and not the main goalscorer himself. If you want him to be the link man, why give him shooting from distance often? It kinda cancels out what you want him to do. If he's the link then he should have shoot from distance rarely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzyp Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Played him as a Trequartista alongside Defoe who was advanced forward in a spurs save I had. Often outscored defoe and created plenty. A Beast sums him up perfectly! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
