Douglas Costa RTTF...I'm speechless

By SnakeEater89, 03-01-2019

This D. Costa is absolutely insane. At the beginning I wasn't enthusiast because as a left wing with a left foot his crosses and passes wasn't so good. Not worth at all for a +300k card. But when I switch him in game on the right side of the pitch... oh my God, absolutely amazing. Whit his left foot he can finesse from every angle without a problem. He is incredibly fast and with 97 pace outrun every single LB on the game. With Deadeye he has 96 Positioning, 99 Shot Power and 90 Long Shot which means that outside of the box is incredibly dangerous. I know what are you thinking: "Even with Deadeye is finishing is only 86". And well it's true but in game it looks like at least 95. Believe me outside of the box this card is pure gold. Costa helps you even in defence, a lot of time I saw him cover my fullback to bring the ball and start a counterattack. Last but not least if you are a skiller with 5 Star skill you can dribble in any way you want.

He is fast, with 99 Acceleration and 94 Sprint Speed outrun the defenders and is incredibly good to beat the line

On the right side of the field with his left foot he can finesse from every position

Great ball control with 95 Agility and 93 Balance is a pleasure use him

5 Star Skill

His crosses are good but not perfect in fact IMHO is better use hime to score;

He can't shield the ball against strong defender because his lack of straight but with his pace most of the time the defendere didn't have the time to reach him;

Excellent winger

Douglas Costa has been excellent for me.He is fast and so agile, which makes up for his lack of strength as he just wiggles past opponents.His finishing was not good enough, so I slapped a sniper chem style on him and that totally solved the issue.He is a left footed winger but uses the outside of his foot a lot to finish up his chances, his outside finesse shots are quite lethal.His composure is...

incredible card

This guy is probably one of the most effective CAMs ive used are so far in a 4231. After having just sold CR7 i needed somebody to fill the goal void with zlatan.He managed to score 36 goals in 40 games for me, the majority of which were in the weekend league helping me push into elite 3. The way this guy glides past defenders is incredible, because of his work rates and pace his runs in behind are so quick and he co...

Despite 3* WF, D. Costa is a beast

I packed this guy from David Villa SBC and for me he is an absolute beast. He does fit perfectly in my squad as a right CAM (in-game left CAM) beside Willian fbday, OTW Cancelo and Emre Can Carniball. Douglas Costa does play very similar to my 91 Maradona, but for me he is even more agile, way faster and does have a better dribbling as my baby Maradona. Therefore pace and dribbling are outstanding! Now let's come to his sho...
