Player Review
92 - Normal
I have used Neymar for 266 games, he has scored 374 goals and 184 assists (mostly weekend league and division 2 & 3 online matches) and believe me when I tell you this, he is the definition of a game changer. Before you continue reading this review, if you're second guessing buying him just go do it already!! Well, if you can afford him. I got him for 594k during the black Friday and he is worth every single penny.
This man can score a goal without facing the goal. I use him as my striker in a 4231 formation because he can shoot comfortably with either foot so it doesn't matter what angle you're at, simply just shoot. Neymar has one of the best finesse shots in the game and it becomes more overpowered if you use timed finishing. His composure and finishing in front of goal is just incredible, this man barely misses, and even when he does I believe thats just EA tryna make him a bit more realistic.
He is very similar to the icon Cruyff, his movement is second to none and has ability to escape tight situations where other players would've either fallen down or lost the ball. If you are a skiller type of player I need not explain to you why you need this man.
His passing is just a bit above average, he often can pick out long passes and cross the ball very well, but I do not focus on this aspect of his play. He is fast enough for any attacking role you have in mind for him, I use a Deadeye chem style on him which improves his shooting and passing because I didn't feel the need to increase his speed further.
He also does not run out of stamina often unless you use some sort of team press or constant pressure.
Defence for Neymar is non-existent, but I do not believe that matters at all unless you are Jose Mourinho.
He definitely feels stronger than 49, though he goes down easily in the box from heavy contact often leading to a penalty.
His shooting is OP from either foot.
His dribbling? We do not need to talk about this!!
Passing is just as good as any top player in the game.
Stamina is quite good.
(Irrelevant but- If your opponent sees Neymar on your team you already have the mental advantage in the match)
He is going to lose every single aerial battle unless EA wants to allow him win one.
I have to say this man does hit the bar once in every 5 shots, which is quite frustrating especially when he should be scoring.
Defending.
