So, i was sitting on 200k this morning and planning to wait for futmas sbcs, however as soon as this raheem sterling sbc came out i knew i had to do it. I sold my ucl sane and completed it in the -first 20 minutes. Soon after i had completed him i was wondering if i had made a mistake, but boy had i not. I played him as a left forward in a 4-3-2-1 and he is absolutely amazing. He feels a lot quicker than sane and i have barely any complaints, i think his value for coins is incredible. I use sterling with a deadeye which boosts his shooting and passing.
Speed - he is a speed demon and with 98 accelaration and 94 sprint speed you can see why
Positioning - His positioning is already very high at 94 and with a deadeye maxes out to a 99. He is the best player for positioning i have used this year
Finesse shots - Even with only 78 curve with a chem style his finesse shots cutting inside onto his right foot are incredible.
Long shots - With low shot power and long shots they are not amazing but still good, most go in but a talented keeper will put them aside for a corner.
Crossing - with boosted crossing of 87 nearly every cross ends with a goal, his passing overall is immense with a deadeye.
Dribbling + 4* skills - His dribbling is the best of any player i have used and combined with 4* skills he comes out of skill moves with great speed and can glide past any player at ease
Stamina - You wouldn't think it but he lasts every game with a considerable amount of stamina left and can carry on into extra time.
Strength - Very poor and gets pushed off of the ball very easily.
Jumping + Heading - Does not really matter but cannot win a header to save his life due to him being 5 foot 7 and the one header i had with him was very poor.
Apart from Hazard I genuinely think this guy is the best LW in the PL. His stats at first don't look that great, but deadeye chem style made him a monster. This card is sensational. Finishing was fantastic and despite just 73 curve his finesse shots were sensational. Despite being surrounded by more expensive, higher rated players he was MOTM in well over half the games he played. His movement in attack is sensational and at 270k especially with the 200k of packs you get back I suggest you complete the SBC now.

Sterling is one of the best LW i've used. I've heard other people review him to be bad so i gave him a try and he was quite a good player I played with him in Division 4/5
Pace! - This guy is very rapid with 94 SS and 98 Acceleration
Shooting - His shooting is very good with marksman chem style with he has amazing shooting stats 86 long shots and 93 Finishing
Dribbling - This guy is so agile and that is a very key stat for me, his dribbling is so good you can make a skill compliation with him without him even being a 5Star Skiller
Diving - No joke in 5 games this guy has been taken down in the penalty box in every game about 7 times in total which funny enough is an advantage for me
Att Position - Right place at the right time!!!
Jumping/Height - He doesn't have the jumping to make up for his height and in cross situations is more likely to kick the ball than head the ball.
Strength - He gets pushed around quite easily but his pace makes up for the lack of strength
Maybe Weak Foot- Some situations where i'm on his left foot
I did this sterling card because i needed a good LW in the epl and he only cost me 180k with untradables and i was amazed at how well he played as a LAM in a 4222 formation he was amazing scoring 9 goals in 3 games.
Agility and Balance
Short passing
Dribbling
Timed finesses are actually quite good considering he has average curve
Strength
Arieal Presence and Headers
3* Weak Foot
Composure sometimes
