Player Review
96 - TOTS
This card right here is just ridiculous. I was lucky enough to pull it through the La Liga upgrade packs and I am so glad I did.
Pace - beats the back line with ease, pulls away from fullbacks, I notice his acceleration the most. Just being able to push down that right trigger and shoot off from whoever is marking you is a game changer. His pace mixed with his dribbling makes him deadly
Shooting - I have scored the nicest goals and the most ambitious goals this FIFA with this card. I've started shooting from angles and further out than I would have ever dreamt of, usually it's a case of beat the defenders, double tap b, low driven, boring goal. Not with this card. Just smash it. Goals flying in from everywhere. Haven't had an issue with his 3* weak foot, don't know if that's due to his high shooting stats or that I have been shooting on his left by default without knowing. Makes perfect runs and is always in the right place.
Passing - His crossing is just as good as his shooting. If I ever need to drift out wide to open up some space, pop out there with Griezmann, whip one in to the far post and nod it home with Gullit. Haven't experienced his long passing so much, short little give and go's work a treat though. 99 curve finesse shots are a thing of beauty, curling it just out of the keepers reach.
Dribbling - The dribbling mixed with the pace on this card is ridiculous, slinking between defenders. The high balance on this card makes him feel a lot stonger, in terms of not being pushed over/off the ball. Close control sells the defenders, scoop it round, shoot, goal. Running full speed and need to change path, easy peasy. Dribbling is so smooth
Defending - Not much to say here, only stand out stat is heading accuracy.
Physical - 99 jumping paired with that 99 heading accuracy make it easy to beat defenders to the ball and nod it home. Height hasn't been an issue. Stamina, can go a full 120 minutes with no issues. Strength and aggression, not going to be able to physically bully other players but as I said early, the dribbling and balance make him feel stronger when on the ball.
I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute i've played with this card. If you're looking for a bit more enjoyment to your FIFA 18 experience, go and pick this card up.
