86 - SBC
I have been waiting for this guy to drop for a couple months now, I invested in MLS guys off the hop and waiting... And im glad I did.
I did the SBC Friday and immediately made up a squad to put him in and started up my Weekend league journey.
Gio made a huge impact on this team really being the focal point of the attack and the creative build up. I really feel like CF/CAM is the perfect position for the Atomic Ant. Guy has silky smooth dribbling mixed in with the 4* Skills and his pin point passes makes him a perfect #10. His shooting is very good too, is clinical infront of goal and can put them in from distance bagging me 3 absolute rockets. Along with his free kicks as they are almost life like with some of the strikes I took. Saying this he does get bodied here and there off the ball but for the most part you can wave threw defenders making their lives miserable. Being 5'4 is not too big of an issue, hes not the best in the air (obviously) but he doesn't need to be as that isn't apart of his game.
Honestly if you are on the fence about doing this SBC, do it. Plain and simple. You will get a very good card/useable card in Giovinco plus the packs it is 100% worth. I'm glad I did.
Passing; Pin point passes, can find his man blind folded in the dark. (Very good corners as well)
Shooting; Absolutely clinical, 88 finishing allows him to make goalies look like they are at the U-10 level.
Skill moves; 4* Skiller and has his own skill move named after him (Giovinco Tornado) make him a joy on the pitch.
League; MLS isnt the most popular league, but there are some good players. (SBC Pirlo and Hero Altidore)
Strength; Will get bodied off the ball sometimes, Use is small stature, quickness and skill moves to your advantage.
