Player Review
89 - UCL LIVE
Douglas Costa is an otherwise good card, marred by his awful finishing. Even with the Deadeye chem style, his finishing (86) is beyond bad. He makes so many amazing runs into the box and his dribbling is near-elite, but he bottles so many easy finishes. If EA ever release another "woodwork" challenge, Douggie is the man for the job. He's the best player at his position for my team, but I would sell him in a heartbeat for Neymar if he fit my team better chemistry-wise. Overall, stay away from this card unless you need him for his links or you never shoot with your wingers.

- High offensive work rate
- Can't shoot, can't score consistently, and bottles easy finishes
- Low long pass rating hurts his ability to cross accurately and consistently assist attacks on counters
- Mediocre reactions and composure do not help out his shooting issues
- Three star weak foot
- Not an aerial threat nor a physical presence
