Killer CAM

By JimElectric, 14-12-2017

Seem to have used Thiago in every squad since FIFA 13, and this might be his best NIF card. I've used him as a CAM in several formations and he is a beast. Outrageous dribbling and balance. He can turn defenders on a dime and seemingly never loses the ball. Thiago is amazing at drifting into the box at the right moment, and I was shocked to see how low his finishing stats are, as every time I find space to shoot with him inside the box, he seems to score.

He's slightly slower than some of the more popular CAM's on the game, but not by much. Players like DeBruyne feel more dynamic and powerful, which is great for counter attacking teams, but Thiago feels like he has much more finesse. Since I've moved away from using an all-Spanish squad, I'm using him more as an impact substitute. If ever I'm having difficulty breaking down a packed defense, this is the guy I bring on.

Outstanding dribbling and balance

Literally walks through defences - perfect for posession-based players who don't use the sprint button much!

Great movement off the ball, always finds space

5 star skill moves

Seems to score every shot inside the box

Never misplaces a pass

77 acceleration

Too weak to be a CM

Not fast enought to be effective in counter attacking teams

Literally never scored a goal outside of the box with him

Needs to be the central focal point

Tremendous Thiago

Inform Thiago Alcântara is a maestro in the midfield. He is one of the of the most agile players I have used on this game. When he gets the ball I feel like I can go through any gap on the field. When he dribbles with the ball he keeps the ball close to him which allows him to change directions quickly. His passing is pin point. Almost every pass goes exactly where you are aiming and his through balls are amazing. He has v...

Thiago

Pretty good

I accidentally did his card because I wanted to get the packs, but I was quite impressed after using him. His dribbling and passing are insane, which is expectable if you look at his stats, but still really good. His shooting was decent, his longshots disappointed me a little bit, but his finishing within the box was really good. Defensively he impressed me a lot, his interceptions were insane and his tackling and strength ...
