Player Review
86 - SBC
I looked around Futbin to see what SBC:s there were. I looked at leagues and I began to be interested in doing the Promes SBC. But when I saw his price at 300k, I thought Quaresmas price at 200k looked far more valuable. I had already done two of the 19 clubs in the SBC so it cost me around 180-200k to do the rest of the squads. You get 15 packs from doing the SBC and some fitness cards and a hunter chem style. I didn't get any amazing players but I got 70k from the packs and 22,500 coins from doing the whole SBC. So around 100k back from the rewards and 80-100k for the Quaresma card. That is worth it if you ask me.
His in-game stats is incredible for a RM-RF. His strength is not very good at 59, not even decent but his balance and ball control really helps him to keep the ball even when he is upp against some of the most powerful center backs and wing backs. 86 pace isn't frightening fast but in Quaresmas case, it is very good. Exactly as with the strength, the balance and ball control makes him faster than his opponents. His dribbling is obviously very good with 92 and it really is his speciality, also with his 5 star skills. I don't use so many skill moves but for other players and maybe for you, the 5 star skills is important.
The shooting, at 82 is decent. All though, with 75 finishing it is actually pretty disappointing. But with 89 long shots and 89 shot power, his shot is still a big threat against the opponent. Also with 96 curve it makes his finesse shots incredible. He can shoot with both feet with a 4 star week foot.
Then I built a team for him. I watched around on Youtube and found a video from a Youtuber called Fuji. The team had a solid defence with Bailly, Tah, Wendell and Aurier. But the goalkeeper was Romero, so I changed the right center back and the right back to Smalling and Clyne and they really do a great job. The midfield and the attack is incredible. With Medel as the more defensive player and Aranguiz IF and Goretzka as the more balanced midfielders I can't really think of a greater combo. And the attack, with Werner at striker and Bruma as the LW it is frightening for every opponent.
As said in the title, Quaresma is the most fun player I have used in FIFA 18 so far. He just can't lose the ball it seems. Incredible balance and dribbling.
I really recommend to do him if you have 300-400k coins in your club. If you have just enough to do the SBC, don't do it, you will regret it but if you have some money to spare, it is worth it.
