91 - SBC
I've got alexis sanchez after collecting the first 11 swap players with the help of my friends niszbi and anime. At first i was in doubt, should i choose him or should i go for modric? thanks god i chose him over modric! i gave sanchez a hunter chem style and he scored 21 goals with 8 assists in 11 games played for me as a right striker. Sanchez is the best striker i have used in EPL, he is better than if jesus, aguero, if zaha, if hazard, sif firmino, lukaku, and if morata.

Very fun Alexis card. He's quick, agile, and extremely clinical. If that type of striker suits your style (eg Mertens, Gabriel Jesus, Griezmann), then you'll enjoy Sanchez in your team.
That being said, in all honesty, 11 swap items is a bit hefty for a player who's virtually indistinguishable from Gabriel Jesus.
If I could go back, I'd opt for a pair of the cheaper options, like Ibrahimovic and Santi Cazorla.

Passing doesn't feel as good as the stats suggest. Just like in real life, he gives up the ball in the final 3rd far too much
11 swap items means you miss out on other cool swap deals
I've used him as a striker in a 4-2-3-1 (2) formation. He's actually too small for a striker and in general pretty mediocre. His shooting is pretty good, especially from the distance, but he has barely the opportunity to shoot from there because he's invisible and he often looses the ball for somebody who is a elite dribbler, his pace is nothing special compared to other strikers like Gabriel Jesus or Alexandre Lacazette and his strength really disappointed me, he is or feels like Coutinho when it comes to strength even when he should've been easily stronger than him. In addition he's useless when somebody crosses the ball in the penalty area.
Shooting (one of the best distance shooters in FIFA 18)
Passing skills are overall good
Too small for a striker (does not fit in the role as a striker)
often invisible
weak assertiveness
nothing special compared to other PL strikers
disappointing dribbling skills compared to other elite dribblers
His finishing and shooting are only decent at best. Over the 15 games I tried him out. He cost me waaaay to many goals by missing easy 1 on 1 chances,by randomly shooting with his weaker foot, or by screwing up his ball control. Passing is very poor, despite having 83 passing on the card. He also feels slow on and off the ball due to his pace being insufficent at this point in Fifa. Paired up with his horrific work rates and his poor strength, he genuinely becomes a waste on the pitch. Overall, I regret getting this card over all the other swap cards I could have tried.
