The Real Sheva

By gruby000, 06-02-2019

Completed Sheva SBC two days after the release and since then he is my main striker. Played him in 3 squads over that period, but the formation was pretty much the same. To start, I must admit it was an unplanned move to do the SBC. The first two weeks were painful for me to cope with a striker that only has 3* skill moves. But every single game with him showed me that there are plenty more ways to utilize him and kill the opponents. And furthermore, since the patch that nerfed the timed finessed shots, he's been even better. But to be honest, I don't think he is a player for everyone. He's clinical finisher. All kinds of shots from the box are a goal, or at least 95%. That's why I think he is a game changer to some extent. Being able to score with only one opportunity and therefore win a game. I'll take it. He's fast and can outpace 90% of defenders in a fair run. He can score headers, he's not Ibra, but still, he will score with a good chance. With using him as a striker, I didn't expect him to pass like Pirlo in his prime. Short passes are more than sufficent, sometimes struggles with long passes, but you won't pass long with him. It's either shot or quick one-two. The lack of 4* skill is huge downfall, if we are looking for a perfect player, but Sheva is not a perfect player. He's a striker, elite one. He has the best driven shots along with Flashback Tevez I have used on this game. To sum up, he's worth the money. He gives you a guarantee of a goal per game. And I'm Gold 1/Elite 3 player and I play in Div 3.

Pace - for a striker it is more than sufficent.

Shooting - one of the best in the game I suppose. Just bangs it in.

Positioning - nothing to complain.

3* skills - obvious thing, but especially now in after abuse-finesse reality, can do damage without it.

height - he's not Peter Crouch and its difficult for him to win every header.

Prime Shevchenko review

I used this card for just over 50 games and I'll tell you all he is an ANIMAL. In the 50 games he scored me 83 goals and they were from all distances and angles. He is hands down the best card ive uses so far and a great benchmark player for the rest of the game.Pace.His pace is phenomenal and combining with extremely high attack positioning he makes outstanding runs and can keep away from defenders...

So bad it´s unreal

Well where do i start... I used Shev in a 4-2-3-1 at Cam, with flashback Ibra up top as a false nine (Which means shev is at ST for most of the game)Pace: 88 pace is decent for any striker, top that with a chemestry style with boost and you can surely expect to outrun most defenders. But not ol´ Shev.. Despite his decent looking pace, he feels very slow in-game, where centerbacks such as Laporte and SIF F...

Waste of coins

I used this card for 30 games, all weekend league. In general i Like Shevchenko and I had his card on Fifa 18 where he was an absolute goal machine. So I decided to unlock his prime card when he was out as an sbc. I spend around 700k for the card, but save your money and unlock another icon. He feels very very slow, his positioning is very bad (the card says 94, with hawk he got 99), he never wins a header and he feels very...
