Dubbed as the next Robert Lewandowski, Piątek has hit the ground running for Genoa. They might be struggling in the 14th spot on the Serie A table but the fact that he has scored more than 50% of their goals shows how important he is.
His 70 rated card is bound to be upgraded in the winter by EA and we expect him to be pushed up to 79 at least. His shooting of 68 is the main thing EA needs to improve and push it to 83 at least.
