87 - UCL LIVE
Jesse Lingard has been a savior in terms of BPL CAMs out there. TOTS Eriksen from FUT18 was my favorite CAM, and I will say Lingard is on his way (maybe one more upgrade) from being indispensable to my team. For around 130k coins, you can have someone in your midfield who is a great distributor of the ball and can also score timed finesse from the top of the box.
I definitely like his H/H workrate and 94 stamina. It allows him to be a burner in the midfield and occasionally come back for a key tackle. When compared to UEL Mkhitaryan, I prefer Lingard's agility and balance over the taller Mkhitaryan. He always seems to make a key run in the midfield and is agile enough for me to get through the one or two CDMs and open up 2 or 3 v. 1 situations with my striker POTM Aubameyang and the opponent's backline. He just feels smooth on the ball at all times.
He isn't the strongest, but pair him up with a decent CM/LM/RM (OTW Fred, CAM Wijnaldum, Richarlison, Lucas) and it's easy to avoid getting caught with your pants down because he will make the right run to get away from the defender.
Right now after 40 matches, he's averaging over 21 assists and 12 goals. Not bad when my Aubameyang is pulling in close to 1 goal per game in front of him. Use Artist Chem to make him your assist king
- Great value for BPL CAM
- Pace, Passing, Dribbing, Shooting all 80+ is perfect for CAM
- Smooth on the ball
- H/H Workrate + 94 stamina is good all game long
- Wish he had 4* weak foot and he would be perfect. 3* he misses some shots
- Semi-weak on the ball, but agile enough to get around CDMs and defenders
