Player Review
92 - Flashback SBC
Quick review before SBC expires.
So we've been blessed with the return of the one and only El Nino.
As a Liverpool-fan I had to do the SBC, even though Fernando broke my heart back in 2011.
His Flashback card, however, reminds me of why it was so hard to take, when he left Liverpool, as he was truly amazing.
So far I've played five games with him. 4 in Rivlas div 4 and 1 in Squad Battles Legendary. He has 9 goals, 1 assist (in 5 games).
Let me first and foremost say, that stamina, composure and balance is of absolutely no problem. With 'stay forward' on he doesn't even get tired. He has had 94 fitness
after every 90 minute-game so far, so stamina is of absolutely no concern, and he is ligtning fast throughout every game.
'Tries to beat defensive line'
This is the most important thing of the card, I think. With the new meta, where power shots and low drivens are back, beating the defensive line is so important.
And Fernando tries to do that all the time. I play 41212 (2) and 4231, and every time you play the ball a little wide, you see Fernando running between the CB and RB or LB.
And he is extremely fast doing so, which gives you so much space and time to either shoot og make something from the wing. 3* skills can be an issue here, but you can go a
long way with body feints and roll backs. Which he does fast as well. Medium attacking work rate feels as high.
His shooting is phenomenal. I don't know about finesse shots from outside the box, as the AI always f***ing blocks them, but power shots with either foot (4* weak foot feels like 5*)
just goes through the keeper. His first goal came from his first shot with his left foot from outside the box into the side netting. The keeper couldn't even react.
Shot power 98 is so easy to see and feel. Absolute canons for feet!
Heading is OP as f*** too. 94 jumping and 89 heading makes him Zlatan-esque dangerous from corners, and I win countless headers inside the box. Just a shame I suck at aiming them,
otherwise he would probably have 5 goals more than he has by now.
I really recommend doing him, whether you are being a nostalgic Liverpool-fan or just want an OP striker for your team. He is amazing.
- Tries to beat defensive line. So, so important. Makes him twice as lethal.
- Speed. He is fast. Really fast. Like Earl Megget from 'The Longest Yard'.
- Shooting. Kaboom! So powerful and precise. Forget about finesse. Just fire away!
- Heading. Reckon he was underestimated in that aspect in real life, though he was absolutely crazy at heading. His card is, too.
- Dribling. He does it. And he does it well.
- Passing. It is all right. He can make fine short passes. Haven't tried him as a CM, so don't about the long passing. Probably average.
- Strength. Insanely strong, which is ever so important in the new meta.
- 4* weak foot. Honestly feels like 5*, but let's call it a 4,5*.
- Too many pros.
- 3* skills. You can cope, but it has its natural limitations.
- Statwise stamina, balance and composure is relatively low. Honestly, I can't feel it.
- Price. SBC is over 250 k coins. It's a lot. He is worth it for sure, but still some cash to put into an untradeable player.
- Links. Spain ain't that OP anymore, and without Icons he is hard to fit in. Until David Villa gets released.
