89 - UCL LIVE

3.5

The Crossbar King

By KFCManager227, 02-02-2019

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.

Very fast
Very good passing overall
Near-elite-level dribbling
5 star skills
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

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...

Douglas Costa

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...

Douglas Costa RTTF...I'm speechless

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. ...
