89 - SBC
If you pre-bought this league or are looking to do it in the near future, i must say that he is an absolute monster. I think Nepenthez described my sentiment perfectly when he called him the Serie A Pogba. His card is extremely well rounded and is built to lock down a CM spot in your squad for the rest of FIFA. I don't know how he is doing in IRL, but it would take two informs to surpass this, at which point the SBC will probably cost less than that SIF. The pack rewards are great overall, and my notable pulls included a discard IF, Ozil, and two Lille defenders. Between those pulls and the 25k coins received upon completion, i made more than the 100k and untradeables that I put towards the SBC. I expect the SBC price to stabilize a bit, but I would snag the silvers needed NOW as they will only become more expensive.
Excellent on the ball, passes are things of beauty. In the squad I've linked, his ability to transition defense into attack is second to no-one that I've used. His longshots are ludicrious along with his general finishing ability. Even at CM (I don't change formation IG) he has 16 goals and 7 assists in the 20 games I've played so far. Feels faster than the 76 pace that is advertised, but I guess that's a little subjective.
At times, his balance and strength allows him to get bullied a bit. Other than that, there not much i can complain about.
