Neymar, Simply Amazing

By HumbleMaverick, 30-01-2018

So firstly, I am currently in division 1 and finish gold 1/elite 3 in Weekend League for FIFA 18. I will admit I am not the best at FIFA 18 but through a lot of trading and a little pack luck this year - I have amounted enough coins to buy a very good squad that currently consists of OTW Neymar, Prime Hagi, SIF Lozano, Prime Petit, TOTY Modric, Prime Rui Costa, TOTY Marcelo, Sergio Ramos, SIF Nacho Fernandez, SIF Vrsaljko, and De Gea. I currently use a 41212(2) formation in game with Neymar as striker. I actually was using CR7 for the past 2 weekend leagues but there was something about his movement off ball and long strides on ball that just didn't fit my playstyle. Don't get me wrong I know CR7 is a great player on this game and is used by all of the pros, but I have found that Neymar just suits my play style much better.

Neymar always seems to be making the perfect runs on goal when on attack. He is extremely easy to feed the ball to because of his amazing dribbling. At the same time when he does have the ball I feel like I am always keeping my opponent guessing because of his ability to make a shot from literally anywhere on the pitch. This typically opens up other gaps in the defense, and with Neymar's great passing allows me to feed goals to the likes of Lozano and Hagi as well. I would say try out Neymar on your team either as CAM or ST to see if his play style suits you prior to upgrading to the SIF or OTW at this point just due to his current price. The one benefit of the OTW is that it is almost a guarantee that he will at least get 1 more in form prior to the end of the year (if not more) so his price is bound to go up as well as the card only gets better (which is hard for me to imagine at this point).

Speed, Speed, and more Speed
Finesse shots from anywhere on the pitch
Movement off the ball.... and for that matter movement when on the ball
Close, controlled dribbling
1-2 passes
Composure - basically will make any shot when in on goal
Likely to get more in forms - price will rise as well as stats

POTY/TOTS Neymar Review (70 games div 1 and WL)

What can I say? This poty/tots Neymar is a strong contender for the best attacker in the game. To put it in perspective I have used Prime Ronaldinho for over 400 games (and I love him), but this Neymar makes Ronaldinho feel clunky and slow by comparison. He is faster than TOTS sterling and comes out of skill moves faster than anyone I've ever seen. You know when you do a through ball and then quickly ...

The best player I've used in every Fifa!

As it says in the title, Neymar is without a doubt the best player in Fifa for me and has been ever since Fifa 15. His record for me speaks for itself and if you don't believe me, my gamer tag is ViP x STaRZz (excuse the name) and you can look for yourself. If my team aren't playing as well, Neyamr will always score at least one goal for me even if I get smashed. His play style suits me perfectly as I am a skiller and with ...

Worth It

To be honest i was very skeptical before I picked him up. I had just sold Bale, a player I loved using. I was afraid that Neymar would be to weak and get bullied off the ball all the time. That was just not the case, Neymar's dribbling and pace made him untouchable, he wasn't in strength duels often, he avoided them. He doesn't miss shots at all either.
