El pistolero villa is back! he is just awesome! You can call him an icon! And he is also very cheap.he scored me 13 goals and 2 assist in 11 games! his height isn't really a problem because of the 94 jumping. way better than my old striker Griezmann.

Like many people,i lost the fun of Fifa 19 gameplay,so i decided to do an sbc wich is not that popular:Flashback David Villa.I have to say that he brings back the fun of scoring a lot of goals.Literally every sweaty tryhard plays drop back and it's very hard to get trough the defense,but David Villa is very fast,agile and can pass suprisingly well so you get past defenders easily.
Altough he is not that tall and strong his positionning is amazing and combined with very good heading accuracy he scores a lot of crosses too.Long story short he is just an amazing shooter and clinical finisher.He isn't a real META player but he'll score a lot of goals.

II Remember using David Villa's 83 rated card back in FIFA 13 when I was trash at the game. He was amazing for me back then and this flashback card is like the best card I've used all game. I sit him upfront in the 4-2-3-1 behind 3 CAM's and he has scored 22 goals in 15 games and 4 assists. Really was good value for money for me as i used a lot of Untradeable special 86 rated's which were meh in game and this card is a definite UPGRADE! It seems that whenever he shoots 1 on 1 it goes in or whenever he shoots anyway it pretty much goes in. High / Low is a massive help and obviously his 5* WF also. I used the Marksman Chem style and he is a beast. Best shooting I've used all game. He even strengths some players off the ball with the added PHY stats from Marksman! :o a must get whilst you still can!
Shooting is mad
Pace
Strength is better than you think
If he can head the ball it probably will go in
Dribbling is also quite mad
Passing is lit

He 5'9 :(
But that's it :D

yes. He is terrible to link. "only 88 pace." Let me just tell you a story then ladies and gentleman. David Villa is insane. He's different than flashback rooney or ibra or torres. I promise. I had all of them and David Villa is just different. He comes up with the clutch goals. He comes up with 35 yard snipes. David Villa is worth it in every sense. He plays way better than prime crespo. He's basically optimus prime rttf Ben Yedder, and we all know how stupid lit that yedder is. Anyways, Villa has a nasty shot. 5 star weak foot. He dribbles like Greizmann. He's pretty fast. Probably felt faster than Fernando Torres flashback. Oh yeah. He's miles better than Torres. DW about that. This guy will change games for you. Get him now.

I am writting this review for people to make an idea of just about how good David Villa Flashback is. When I grew up David Villa was a player I really enjoyed watching when he was at Barcelona. His pace, finishing, positioning were brilliant, it was a joy watching him play. Well, I must say, this Flashback David Villa isn't any different from how he was IRL during his prime time. For about a reasonable price, you get a brilliant card that is definitely a gamechanger, at least for me. To add a bit of context, I did the sbc friday evening as soon as it dropped. I didn't play a single game of rivals or squad battles to get used to the card. I fit him straight in my team and started playing my WL matches. Villa and Podoloski are replacements for Firmino and Aguero(which are known to be pretty good in this game), so the 2 new faces had some high expectations to live up to. And must I say, David Villa alone counts twice as much as Aguero and Firmino togheter. I started playing this FIFA on the 12th of February(I did play before from FIFA 12 to FIFA 16 but I quit it) so the WL was kinda unknown territory for me. Since I played FIFA before I caught up to the gameplay pretty quickly and in my first weekend league I finished 18/12( Gold 2). In fact, every single weekend I finished Gold 2 with either 17 or 18 wins. Untill now. I've played 30 games with David Villa(all of my weekend league matches of the 22th march- 24th of march weekend competition) and I must say I am beyond impressed I finished 23/7 which is a massive boost from the usual of what I've finished before. And David Villa carried me so hard. If there's a played I would compare this David Villa to it would be Messi(normal card) Fanatastic pace, shooting, ball control. Both are short so you wouldn't expect the to win headers. The only difference is Villa's passing which is significantly worse than Messi, but the extra Stamina, better workrates and 5* weak foot I think make up for it.
- Pace - I use an engine chemstyle on him, and I must say, he feels so much quicker than he seems. People just don't expect it. He catches a lot of the balls that seem impossible to get to. He glides past defenders like Varane as if they're bronzes with 25 pace. Impressive
- Shooting- Nothing much to say here. Not using a chemstyle to boost shooting, because it's already impecable. He scored all kinds of goals: power shots, low driven, volleys, outside the box finesse shots(he scores like 8/10 finesse shots he takes which is remarkable since it's not finesse meta anymore). I usually time the shots but they're cases where I just don't. It doesn't matter for David Villa. Timed or not timed, he will score anyway. He is always in the right place at the right time.
- Dribbling- With the engine chemstyle, his dribbling becomes phenomenal. It's so hard to disposses him, he always keeps the ball so close to his feet, and he turns so swiftly even though his agility is only 84(with the chemstyle boost).
- 5*/4*- This is really important as a striker( at least for me) cause I am abusing the overpowered tehnique: la croqueta and power shot. David Villa is great at that. Honestly I sometimes felt like his left footed shots were better than his right footed ones. Deadly around the box.
- Stamina- You may think that 83 stamina is a little on the low side but trust me, it's more than enough. I set my striker to come back and help defense, which he does, and yet not a single time he was tired and had to sub him off. Even in the matches that go to extra time, at the end of the 120 minutes his stamina is still at around a quarter.
- Passing- You definitely need to boost his passing with a chemstyle because it average without and only about decent with the chemstyle(unless you apply something like a Catalyst, Deadeye, Artist or Powerhouse). It's still not bad don't get me wrong but it's not impecable. He missed quite a few through balls, but you wouldn't really expect from your striker and goal scorer to be a mastermind a creator. That why I persoanlly use Reus the 88 CAM Figo, to feed through balls to him so he can score them.
- Height- In the somewhat crossing meta this might be an issue for some, but it isn't for me as I play 4-1-2-1-2 narrow and I rely on scoring through the center and not through crosses. But don't expect him to win many headers cause his height doesn't help him. But be sure that he can still win them(decent jumping), and if he wins them he scores them(really good heading accuracy), it's just not a guarantee such as for Flashback Ibra for example.
- Defending- Not much to say here as you wouldn't expect a striker to be good defensively.
I struggled a lot with this card at the beginning. Firstly I did the SBC as i had a bunch of untradeables so it was cheap around £100k but i hadn't realised he was still playing and therefore thought his flashback would have been a La Liga one not Japanese which meant i had to keep my futmas isco for the links. Also i had been using Suarez who is very strong and great at holding the ball and my play style is more possession so my striker tends to be involved a lot. At first i couldn't get the best out of him as he was losing the ball a lot and making passing errors. I tried hunter on him for the pace in behind and then marksmen but his passing was too weak so he kept messing up in build up - I thinking of making him an impact sub but then i changed to engine and he's been awesome since then. He is the best finisher i have used without any chem upgrade on stats anyway, great power, positioning, composure, finishing plus 5* WF means he is immense anywhere near the pen area. He's scored so many goals for me from all sorts of angles on both sides, if i have a shot on with him then i take it, WIth engine he's acceleration goes to 94, dribbling to 99 and reactions to 95 so he can now find that bit of space using a Skill move to get a shot off plus with vision and short passing in the mid 80's his build up play is much better. He's rubbish in the air so don't expect to get many headers and whilst he has good dribbling his agility is quite low at 84 so he doesn't feel like 99 dribbling but plenty good enough for a striker. Can't see me changing him now for rest of game now i have the right chem style
finishing - just incredible

I was at the point of quitting FIFA.
Especially after the finesse shot patch, the game hadn't been enjoyable for me at all, and after getting banned on my main account I started to lose faith in this game.
So after making a new account, I was struggling to find the right players, and this Weekend League I went 4 wins 5 losses which is absolutely terrible.
That's when I sold my team and bought Butragueno to link with the new flashback David Villa. And oh boy, I was in for a ride.
The card has absolutely everything you need, 5* Weak foot, 4* skills, decent pace and an amazing shot.
I used him with the Catalyst chemistry style to boost his pace and passing.
Somehow he has the ability to score every single chance, even at the moments where you pull the trigger and expect the ball to go wide, it just flies in the net.
He also has the finesse shot trait so his finesses are like how they were before the patch that came out weeks ago.
From the moment I bought him, I went to 12 wins and 6 losses which is quite a good comeback for me at least.
I have also played some Division Rivals matches in Division 4 in which he absolutely destroys everybody.
His stats until now:
19 matches
26 goals
6 assists
Shot, everything goes in
Passing, quite good for his stats, hardly makes mistakes when passing the ball
Pace, when boosted his pace is more than enough
Dribbling, holds on to the ball like all players should
You can't use him for heading if that is what you expect from a striker.
WOW!
I saw the SBC and I'm a big David Villa fan and I had about 250k siting around so I did the SBC. First of all his pace combined with his shooting is amazing and him you put a catalyst chem style on him he is even better. Long Range he scores everything. With the catalyst it takes his passing to another level that no other striker has as well. I feel really bad for anyone who did not do this SBC.

Ok, It's my first review in FUTBIN, I hope it'll be good.
so, after doing the Fernando Torres SBC, I got really hyped because I knew that one day Villa will get his own SBC, and he did...
I tried to play with both of them, while Villa is LS and Torres is RS, and Villa wasn't as good as I expected him to be.
I played with him 4 games and he had only 2 goals and 2 assists.
Then I tried to play in 4-2-3-1 while Villa is CAM, he was brilliant, in those 4 games I had 6 goals and 5 assists.
