Player Review
91 - Icon
DISCLAIMER: Not a fifa pro (divsion 3 most of the time)
So I had been saving about 2 mil for about 3 weeks and I already had kind of decent attack and midfield. I play CR7, Futmas Muriel and Bale up top and then Petit and Futmas Herrera as the two CDMs in 4231 formation. So with the coins I could boost up the defence or buy a kickass CAM. so I took a chance with him last night and the first impression was great. He scored in the first 2 mins and then just continued dominating the opponent with the skill moves and hold up play. He can be extremely still protecting the ball, do a skill move and then just accelerate past the last defender. Moreover, the passing is just absolutely phenomenal, the 90 vision really shows on this card... its just broken! and he also makes great runs in to space. Also, the longshots are great too. Sadly the major let down is his weak foot shot accuracy. It's just bad for me, low driven misses the target, finesse hits the post more often than it goes in. Maybe its just me because i'm not that great of a fifa player but to be fair, I have won 6 of the 7 games I played with him last night.
Also, the 81 stamina is just fine for a CAM with high/low work rates. He rarely bothers with the defence and if you don't go about chasing wingers with him he should last at least the full 90 mins easily.
So finally the big question: value for money? Yes definitely if you want a playmaker and No if you need a goal scorer. Here's how: when I'm 1 on 1 with the keeper with CR7, I'm 90% confident its a goal. With Ronaldinho it could be the most beautiful finish or absolute trash.
- Pace
- Dribbling
- PASSING!
- strength
- Chance creation
Only weakfoot
Defence: He is an attacker so it shouldn't be expected. He will make interception in the opponent's half more often than your own, tackling is ok. If he gets tacked his strength and agility/reactions usually wins the ball back
