Player Review
86 - SBC
In anticipation for the MLS SBC i have bought all the golds from this league. I started the SBC with 25k and progressively open the rewards for each club once i have finished it. To my surprise those 25k were enough. So i got Gio for pretty much nothing.
Now moving on to his card...
PACE - NOT GREAT. BEWARE!!! This Giovinco card has 78 sprint speed which means he can not outrun defenders like Musa or Rashford. His card is very different from last year. BUT his 92 acceleration helps him to get in behind very easily which gives him an advantage when it comes to outrunning defenders.
SHOOTING - GREAT. His finishing is amazing as well as his long shots. The fact that he has 90 composure also helps a lot when it comes to one on one chances.
PASSING - GOOD. His passing is decent. He dose not make mistakes too often. You can feel the difference between him and other pacey strikers with low passing stats. If you want to use him as a CAM he will get you many assists.
DRIBBLING - GREAT. His agility and balance on the ball are amazing.
DEFENDING - DOSE NOT MATTER.
PHYSICALITY - DECENT. But because his sprint speed is not the greatest he gets pushed away quite often by defenders like Bailly or Van Dijk.
OVERALL - For me it is a good investment for 25k, but if you want to do this SBC and hope for a great pacey beast like Musa DO NOT WASTE YOUR COINS. IF you can get it for cheap it is a special card worth doing especially if you have ADP or that Pirlo 91 card. If you don't have icons or players from Italy he can be a decent super sub but I would not recommend him over the like of Lozano, Musa 81, Jesus etc.
