Neymar,
He has been the absolute best striker I have used in the game so far. I was very hesitant when buying him for 500k on PS4 but he has been the sole reason I have gotten elite 3 in the weekend league for my first time. He can pass, his positioning is absolutely amazing (always there for the rebound, and makes amazing runs), his pace is unreal, (once he gets the ball or does one-two's he cannot be caught), his shot is amazing, (it seems like where ever he shoots from he scores---long shots, finesses, low drives, you name it), his dribbling is unreal and whenever you are using L1 or just dribbling with him it is like the ball is stuck to his foot. The only thing that is his weakness, is his physical/strength but I can live with that with everything else he does right. There was something unusual I realized about him though... When he is shielding the ball he seems to keep everyone away from the ball even though his strength/physical is not as good. It seems like his dribbling/ball control is so high that he keeps the ball close to his foot so defenders can't take it away.
I start out in a 4-3-3 (3) and switch him to left striker in a 4-3-1-2 and he does wonders there. He links well with Mbappe and they are the best duo up top. When I am running along the left side with Alex Sandro, Neymar is always making the perfect run up top left towards the flag so I can do an easy cut back goal. His positioning is unreal.
Overall Best Striker I've used. Used all in Weekend League!
Love you Neymar and thank you for saving me in the Weekend League.
Pace! Pace! Pace! Unbelievable pace with and without the ball.
Dribbling Outstanding! The ball is absolutely glued to his feet.
Passing is great and gives the best through balls to Mbappe.
SHOT! He seems like he makes everything he lets go with his foot. 5 Star weak foot makes him a machine and able to score from anywhere with any foot.
Physical/Strength: Not the strongest but I can live with that for he is great at shielding the ball for his dribbling is so good.
Stamina: Sometimes gets tired towards the end but he still makes shots while tired.
