88 - Flashback SBC
4.0
Boy oh boy.
By osynlfc, 18-01-2019

Where do I start? This will be a pretty long interview, so sit back in a nice seat, drink some nice tea or chocolate and enjoy.

I was extremely excited when this card came out. I always liked Pato. I told myself ''darn it, i'm not going to afford this!'' But turned out he was pretty cheap (like 150k? maybe 160k?) and I must say that he is a pretty good value for his cost. Anyways. I asked my friends If I should do him on the last day, they said ''yeah go on xddd''. I thought I had some time and was about to grab myself a yoghurt but then I noticed on Futbin that there's an hour left. I rushed to my laptop and looked for the sbc solutions on Futbin. I was so stressed I wouldn't do it on time, but I managed to. I had to sell my whole squad to get him + Mane didn't want to sell so that was extra stressful. After I opened the packs I sold the players and got some coins to make a nice little team around Pato and ended up with a cool serie a with brazilian players team. And I managed to eat my yoghurt. Ok now end of story, let's move to the STATISTICS.


Pace


His pace is very good, almost perfect but he got catched by some defenders many times.


Shooting


When I played my first matches with him I was surprised how good his shots were. His right foot may be blessed. But something bad happened. TIME FOR A STORY BREAK IN


So, as I mentioned before, his right food is holy. BUT he tends to use his left foot very often, even if he has a clear position to shoot from the right foot. Why? I have no idea. He started getting really annoying because of that and this is mainly why I replaced him with IF Ben Yedder (which, by the way, was the best decision I have ever made in FIFA). Costed me a couple of controller throws during Fut Champs, not that serious tho.


Woosh. Back to reality. His finishing is insane with his right foot, but his left foot is actually trash. Like if he had 60 shooting. His weak foot (the left foot that nobody likes) is supposed to be rated 3 stars, but it LITERALLY felt like 2 or even 1 star. Absolute trash with his right foot. His long shots were pretty good, I liked driven shots with his right foot.


Passing


Actually really good for a striker. Not that important tho.


Dribbling


Very fun to use dribbling, 4 star skill moves is nice. I used sniper chem style to improve balance and make dribbling better. Smooth as heck.


Defending


What do you expect? Wanna play him at CDM, sicko? Scroll down! (Good heading tho)


Physical


Pretty strong but some defenders push him around easily. Also gets tired quickly so I played him in a 2 striker formation.


That would be it. Overall very very nice fun player, just started to make me really really MAD with that left foot and replaced him with IF Yedder. Best. Decision. Ever.

I will truly remember Pato as a club legend, though. Great lad.

THE PATO OF OLD

What can I say, this card has brought back memories of the pato we all loved back in the day. The stats are insane and he is just a brilliant player. Not many things i thought were bad and many things I thought were brilliant. Used with Sniper in 8 Div rival games in div 2

Must Have Player

If there is one thing I've learned so far this FIFA, it's that if you see a player SBC that you like, do it before it's gone forever. For example, POTM Lucas or Flashback Juanfran. I've been a fan of Pato since his Milan days, and I even played over 150 games with his 83 inform card so I had to do this SBC. It cost me around 170K from scratch, and it was definitely worth it!! I fit him in a squad with Aguero, De Bruyne, Fla...
