88 - OTW

1.0

Best Player in the game

By Snipinisart, 13-03-2018

From the day that I first used James until now, I used him in 3 different squads, mostly playing him as CAM in 433-4. All that I can say is, that he is the best player that I have used until now. It feels like there is nothing that he can't do. I use the Maestro chem style to boost his best stats even more. I have not ever had anyone in any of my squads whose passing was so much on point as James', short passing and long passing are both nearly flawless. His shots are just insane, he is able to score from everywhere within ~25 metres with ease, and even his 3* WF is no problem in my opinion, he scores lots of goals inside the box with his right foot. His dribbling is so perfect, it feels like he just goes through the lines of opponents that are in front of him as if they could not move. There are few exceptions to that, of course, but it works like this most of the time, you get the idea. What I was really surprised about when playing him as LCM in a 433 was his defending ability. He works a lot to help the defense without neglecting the attacking part of his game at all. A downside to some people might be, that he is not the fastest player, this rarely occures to be a problem, but it is for me the only small downside regarding this otherwise perfect player. I would definetly recommend James' card to anyone who could potentially fit him into their squad, as he doesn't even cost a whole lot compared to other players, that are far worse than him.

Best shooting I have ever seen in a player
Perfectly accurate passes
Dribbling is super smooth, he doesn't get pushed off the ball easily
3* WF is barely noticable (for me at least)
Does good defensive work (a little bonus to the actual role he plays in my squad)
His physicality feels amazing ingame

This card is stunning, if you ever used TOTS James back in FIFA 14 you will understand. The guy is utterly, utterly broken. If you currently have is 88 OTW and your unsure whether it is worth the upgrade then yes it is. He is the best CAM in the game for me (not used TOTS Reus yet). Every type of shot just gets the perfect connection from his left foot and I also find that his right foot inside the box is fine so I don't re...

Absolute beast!

He is the definition of a perfect CAM. Nothing to complain about him. Doesn't miss a pass, left-footed curlers from just outside the box are guaranteed, controls the ball very well. That being said, the most impressive stat for him is his 83 physical. Compared to other players it isn't the best, but compared to his 88 OTW card it is a huge difference. I found that to be the only problem with his 88 card and was fixed with h...

Move Over 88 OTW

Possibly the best card FIFA has produced! His shooting ability seems better then Pele's! Plus a FK accuracy of 99! He is the heart of my team (and I have Lewandowski, Messi, Maradona and many more working around him!
