Emile HESKEY, Newcastle Jets

This guy was never on yellow for attack on my radar.

[MaxPower]

Agree, even most CFs with ATT 79 (DJ Campbell, Walters, Morison, Cox...) have better positioning and off the ball display than Heskey.
78 at most I think.

[MocaBG]

Yes i was thinking about 78 also.

[ynwasg8]

I know its unusual but I can clearly say Heskey is a Defensive Striker(If theres such thing)I suguesst lowering his ATT to 77 Increasing DEF to 60.AGI can drop to high 60's he is the most unagile striker in PL.

[MocaBG]

I agree with that fully:

Attack: 77-78
Defence: 60-61
Aggility: 68-69

[Jez]

Agree with ynwasg8's analysis of him and Attack 77 is fine with me, although wary about a Defence value of 60-61. Tim Cahill is a 57 and he's capable holding his own defensively in the center of Midfield. Updated attack and registered position for now but I think Defence needs more discussion. Also, about Agility: the only problem with lowering him to 68 is that this would put him below John Terry and Mertesacker and I think he's slightly more agile than these two players.

EDIT: Given a bit of an overall update. It's time to get more realistic I feel. Some values still need discussion; I anticipate some people will think I've been too harsh in certain areas, but I'm well open to having a good discussion on him (I feel that for too long we've been too kind on Heskey and anything that he's not actually so bad at, we've slightly overrated so as to make ourselves feel better about giving him slightly poor stats)

[Diego]

I think that Wfa could arguably come up.

[adam13]

Since you said he is the most unagile striker in EPL. I tried with 1 Agility and looks fine.

I really think his Tec should sit higher than Ibra, his ability to kill balls with any part of his body, his ability to make a fool out of any defender, and his ability "hide" the ball, making it virtually impossible to take it fom him was, and still is a main part of his way to play. Strikers such as Heskey should stay in the top of Tec ladders, he is one of the best in that aspect, I don't really understand how he stands lower than Ibra.

It's actually one of his main (and few) assets. He also fits perfect with "Tactical Dribble" IMO.

Some funny...let's say "facts" lol

-------Heskey: A Poem------ (Courtesy of Elliott Daly)

Never, ever diss the Hesk
He has more footballing talent than Fabregas, Cesc

Being racist to Heskey?? Suarez wouldn't dare
Because he knows he'd end up in intensive care

He gets the goals, he gets the bitches
His last critic ended up in stitches

Rooney, Ronaldo, Messi, all inferior
My point is proven by his skills against Algeria

Some compare him to the mighty Chuck Norris
He'd have killed James Bond if he was the bad guy in Quantum of Solace

He Shoots, he scores, he never bores
Off the pitch he gets it on with the whores

He created the universe and God after that
Then came Dappy and his stupid hat

Everyone knows there is a special power in his sock
Tulisa can only dream of sucking his cock

You'd better watch out when Emile's on the pitch
Agbonlahor is his assistant and Mcleish is his bitch

Even scousers reduce their crime
Between 3 o'clock and quarter to five because that's Heskey Time

Leicester wanted him back, but at the time he wasn't interested, he wouldn't lie
And on that bombshell it's time to end, goodbye!!

And there is a LOT more, there is a whole facebook page if you're interested LMAO

[Albo7]

One whole facebk page? Multiply it by 100.

[Jez]

The Heskey pages get boring after a while These could do with another downgrade though, I'll see what can be done

[Albo7]

I'm sure tea jokes are better
