What can I say?

By FUTOpinion, 10-11-2018

Hi again folks,

Here I will give possibly the most truthful review of Neymar's UCL card and I see it is the only review here currently. I hope others will follow, because it is hard to justify just how good this card is.

However, it's very worth noting that with Neymar you must play to his strengths- dribbling, shooting, passing etc, not trying to head or hold the ball up for others. This card does have very obvious and important flaws that if you are not a fan of you might want to invest in someone stronger like Sane, but you will lose the weak foot skills and general skill of Neymar.

Anyway, I was lucky enough to pull Neymar from my very first UCL Upgrade pack, and I have played 340 Games with him since, scoring 306 goals and assisting 162 times. Thats 468 contributions in 340 games for you number crunchers. That itself I feel is fairly self explanatory.

During this time he has has a mixture of strike partners in a 4-1-2-1-2(2) formation, most consistently being POTM Hazard who plays CAM and IF Suarez who plays ST beside Neymar. But, Neymar still is the standout player, EVERY SINGLE GAME. I use him with a Deadeye chem style to boost his passing and shooting (as If it needed boosting any more) and oh boy has he p

clutched up for me so many times. For me there is no better player in the game besides Icons, especially with Neymar's unique 5* combo, rainbow flick and dribbling style.

5* Combo - This is the main selling point of the card for me. He is an assassin on either foot, and has the ability to turn opponents inside out. Skills can also negate the effect of his poor strength.
Pace - With 93 pace he is absolutely rapid. Once he's in behind he's never getting caught. However, he's not as fast as players like Mbappe or Sane.
Shooting - Oh my word. Neymar is the complete marksman. He will score in every way possible (excluding his 50p head). Bicycle Kicks etc are no problem, and his finesse shots are SECOND TO NONE.
Passing- Abolsutely sensational. The link up play of Neymar is incredible. 88 vision and 85 short pass would make him a very viable CAM and give him accurate passing. 89 curve means you'll be hitting finesse shots top corner for days. 88 free kicks are an added bonus.
Dribbling - 96! Yes 96 dribbling. 97,84,94,96,97,94 are the stats in this column. He is the best dribbler on the game. His quick feet make him impossible to tackle, and he can turn out of tight situations. 96 ball control means any ball is trapped under his foot straight away. Honestly, I cannot justify how good he is on the ball.
Stamina- He will run all game long without getting tired.
Work rates - High/Medium is perfect
Positioning - Right place, right time - every time.

Strength - As Marshall89 would say, he's like a fart in a paper bag. 49 strength is fairly self explanatory. Do not let the defender get shoulder to shoulder with him, or he will be dispossessed.

Jumping - Doesn't get off the ground with 62 jumping,

Heading - I've seen some 50p heads in my time, and quite frankly this lad has a 20p head. Worst header of a ball on the game. But that's what you should expect with Neymar.

Better than ever

So this year I told myself I would take Ultimate Team easy. Last year I wanted Ronaldo (R9) so bad that I was ready to sell my wallet in packs and I did but with probably the worst pack luck you can have... I never packed anything worth more than 150k so I promised myself I wouldn't do it again this year. I won't lie, I couldn't ressist to open 2 or 3 packs when I saw the Halloween cards and what was my su...

Neymar Jr

Best normal Gold card (except Ronaldo)

After packing Aubameyang I had enough coins to buy this guy and trust me, he´s a machine! Ingame I always play him as a left ST in a 4-1-2-1-2, so he has a bigger impact on the game in my squad. He dribbels and skills like nobody else in the game, his pace his decent and his shooting and passing is in the 90s too with the Deadeye Chemistry style. If he had strength, he would be a complete striker, but he unfortunately hasn...

Neymar Jr

One of the best

Neymar is one of the top rated players of FIFA 19, and for good reason. His base stats are phenomenal, with incredible pace and dribbling, as well as shooting and passing that are exceptional. Neymar also possesses the rare combination of 5* skills and 5* weak foot, which only adds to how lethal he is. Prior to using Neymar, my squads were typically Serie A or premier league, using players such as mertens, Dybala, inform in...
