89 - Icon

Very Good Player. Not Worth the Coins

By nstare1323, 30-10-2018

I start in a 4312 for chem purposes and then switch to a 41212(2) in game.

I play 89 Scholes at CAM and he is a very quality card, as his stats and output suggest, but is not worth the 600k+ you have to pay for him.

He tends to go missing but will randomly have a game with 2 goals and 3 assists which skews his stats. For around the 630k that I paid for him you can get players like Neymar, Mbappe, Pogba, De Bruyne, or Bale who I assume (only have used Pogba so far) have a much bigger impact on the game.

If you have the coins (or just want to use a player from your childhood like I did) and want a player who can slot in quality passes and bang in the occasional finesse or long shot then Scholes is very good among other good players, but if you're looking for a game changer to center your team around this isn't the card.

Overall, this is a luxury player who can shine in a very good team but isn't a top tier game changer.

Passing: Great, base 92 vision/long/short passing, 87 crossing, and 89 composure certainly show in game.

Dribbling: Neutral on this, he's no Neymar but isn't Fellaini either.

Shooting: If he gets open you have a good chance of scoring, but he can't create space very well so you need other quality players around him to bring out his shooting.

Stamina: Can run the entire game and more.

Pace: This doesn't matter that much since this years iteration of FIFA is less centered around pace, but if you still like a pacey CAM who can make solo runs he can't do it.

3* Skills: I use a good amount of skills to create space and he can't do them, although his Croqueta is typically effective. If you don't use 4-5* skills this isn't a problem.

3* Weak Foot: Very one sided when shooting, I would say maybe 2-4 of his 29 goals were with his left foot.

Physical: He's 5'7" and has 70 strength, enough said.

Formation: 41212-2

Position: CAM

Games: 50

GPG: 0.58

APG: 0.86

Impact Player

Wow, what a player. I bought Scholes about a week ago and didn't really expect too much based off of other reviews. I needed an icon and had just used 90 Okocha who just wasn't cutting it for me anymore. Scholes has the potential to turn a game in your favor at any point in time. It has only been a short amount of time using him and I love him already. He is box to box, covering my midfield whenever one goes forward. He can...
