Cheap Beast
By Corty, 28-09-2017

One of the best CM i used so far. Review done, go buy him!:D


Oh... you want to hear more? Well then... let me explain!


Why is he a beast? I bought him for 11k (xbox one) and scored 17 goals and 22 assists in 27 games from the cam position. Thats why i think he is a cheap beast!


The pros


First, his passing. Pinpoint passes 88 both long and short pass stat, he can assist your strikers, wingers, anyone and with 4 star weak foot, he will get the ball to their feet every time! To get the most out of him i suggest you use him as a CAM not as CM or you may waste his potential.


Now, his Dribbling. He has 86 ball control and 91 balance. Yes, he has only 3 star skill moves, but i don't think you need 4 stars in the middle and he can dribble past the opponents midfielders to let loose a long shot or a perfect pass to your striker!


He has 70 finishing with 81 composure so he can score goals with ease. I mentioned in my IF Phillip(81) review that he has 80+ finishing but his composure is below 80 and he misses the shots. Now its the opposite here, he has higher composure so he won't panic, slap a good chem style on him and he will finish every chance like a hungry kid his dinner! Also he can let loose some great long shots with 87 shot power!


Lastly his pace. With that high balance and low hight (171cm/5'7) his center of gravity is so low, he feels like an 84+ paced card! And with this high balance stat, it's hard to push him off the ball without fouling!


Now the "negatives"


Aggression could be higher then 69 but oh well, it's not that big of a problem. With that balance it balances out this weakness... um, pun not intended.


If you use him as CM then his defending stats may be a little bit of a problem as he trends to fault, missing the tackle and also his height and jumping is not ideal so you won't win any headers with him. Thats the only real negatives of this card.


All in all


Great value for money! His work rates are medium-medium, but he worked well with my striker, always getting himself into good positions. I used him with artist chem style, and he stayed with 70 finishing and yet, he always scored and with that high dribbling and passing he was the perfect CAM for me, i can't say anything just suggest him for you all guys if you build a Bundesliga team! Oh i almost forgot... he has the Playmaker trait and as a CAM, every play went trough him, he was the conductor of all of my attacks! Oh and yeah... he has 93 stamina... he will run at the 100th minute mark and still run home after the match to do some jogging before going to sleep. Hell he may be sleeping while running!


12.500 coins? (on xbox one when i write this review) Play a season or two and you got back what you spent on him and he will serve you well! Do you need any more reasons to buy? No:) This will be my highest review yet, and if he gets a second IF... he will be the perfect card. If that happens i need to revise this review to 4 star to be able to give 5 to the 2nd IF:D

IF Aranguiz (one of my favourite players)
By SurestPanther5, 05-03-2018

when i first saw aranguiz i was shocked at how cheap he is for how good he looked and decided i must get him.


i tried him out as a CAM with maestro chem style at first but found that he stayed back too much because of his medium-medium work rates and would be a better CAM if he had a high attacking work rate. he scored loads a long shots from the edge of the box though. i then changed my team a bit and tried him as a CM and he was amazing. he doesnt look like much of a box to box midfileder but i used a engine on him and he was continuously winning the ball in defence and running it up the pitch a playing my strikers through. i was shocked by this because he doesnt have the best defending or physical stats but he was amazing. because he has med-med work rates and 93 stamina he can run all game easily and even though his strength isnt the best, he has 99 balance and 92 agility with engine so it is hard to get the ball off him anyway. his passing is quality as well.


i would compare aranguiz to vidal but is much cheaper and less defensive.

dribbling

passing

stamina

long shots

outpaces many other midfielders easier

possibly strength but doesnt matter much because of his high balance and agility

defending stats are ok but would be nicer if were better

WHAT A PLAYER!


One of the best CAM's I have played with in FIFA for a long time. I used him with Sniper chemistry and he just runs round pinging perfect passes and screamers all day (record speaks for itself). If you love a playmaker in the CAM position this is your guy. His main talents are his passing and shooting but his dribbling and pace more than suffice. He even occasionally snags the odd interception. Dominant for me this week in the weekend league

  • Crazy Shot
  • Clinical as Hell
  • Great Passing
  • Tight Dribbling
  • Agile
  • Runs all day

Hard to think of them.....


  • Not elite speed
  • Aerial Play
