Basic Football

By VegaKP, 08-02-2018

One of those cards, where stats are not overwhelming, but yet plays extremly well in-game.

While neither his pace or strenght seem incredible well, they seem to create a good balance while playing him: He's just fast enough he won't get caught easily and just strong enough he won't give up the ball without a good fight. This along the 3 star skill moves makes him play very basic football. You're not skilling or making fancy plays with him, but he finishes every single time he needs to.(Within reason)

Dribbling seems good enough to the point where he can move around, but requires you to make good use of shielding aswell, due the the stat not being overwheelimg.

Same goes with jumping/heading. Higuain won't flop on obvious goal opportunities (unlike real life) and if the cross/corner is taken well he has no problem, but can't beat strong defenders in the air head-to-head.

Personally I paired him with Dybala and Mertens in attack, which gave me all the flair I needed, allowing Higuain to do what he does best: Just shoot.

He finds good chances and scores A LOT of goals from difficult positions, angels and runs.

His Longshots seem significantly better than the stats suggest aswell, I reckon this was due to his 4 star weak foot and shot power.

This results in even simple passes suddenly becoming major threats, even outside the box.

If you like "basic" or "simple" football. He's worth a try.

NIF Higuaín Review

Don't be fooled by Higuaín's awful card stats. He plays extremely well in game, particularly when used as a target man or alongside a pacey striker.With a hunter chemistry style, he doesn't feel slow at all, but his dribbling is not very smooth due to his low agility and balance. His passing also feels better than his stats suggest, and he gets a surprising number of assists, especially in a two striker f...

Perfect Target Man!

I think the upgrade is minimal but still for 200k this is an absolute bargain I assure you!Forget about speed... He is by no means slow but you don't want him running about like crazy due to his 77 Stamina. Put him on Stay Central and Target Man. As for chemstyle, I think MArksman gives him that jumping boost to match his heading stats. He is 184cm/6ft tall so it is a no brainer. Also that small boost to A...
