Player Review

98 - Shapeshifters ICON
5.0
Garrincha 98 - The most OP Card in Fifa23
By Malikdfasaesfed, 24-06-2023

Garrincha is an incredible player. But you have to pay a lot for him, of course. Not many of us have millions of coins in Fifa, or the money to buy packs. So it's understandable when you have the coins to wonder if it's worth it.


I'll tell you: It's 100% worth it.


A few of us may know that Garrincha had crooked legs back then. One was an X leg and the other an O leg. This gave him Incredibly Brilliant Dribbling and Exceptional Acceleration at the time. It seems like EA Sports has done something well for the first time. Namely, it feels as if EA brought these crooked legs into play in exactly the same way. This icon has something unique, it feels like you get an extra dribbling and pace boost. You can simply turn the running direction by 180° in a full sprint WITHOUT slowing down or anything like that.

Let me explain how he feels in game:

PAC: 120

SHO: 99

PAS: 99

DRI: 999

The Crooked King

I received Garrincha from the 92+ Attacker SBC, and i was ecstatic. Garrincha extremely good not only in game, but as we all know, he used to be very good in real life.His crooked legs look like a bow, and when he shoots it looks like an arrow heading into the net at full speed.

Prime Garrincha

I got him out of the 89 Prime or World Cup icon pack, and was unsure how he would play considering his 90 pac and 87 sho. But let me tell you, he is a beast, dribbles past almost every defender, has great positioning when on the flank, and is overall an incredible player. Just assist with him and don't try to shoot, thats where he struggles.
