89 - Europa SBC
5.0
More than SBC fodder
By Gramegatron, 25-02-2019

It was a no brainer to pick up UEL Moments Falcao given the SBC requirements. I am a huge fan of target forwards with clinical finishing and based on Falcao's in game stats he certainly caught my eye as I decided at the worst it was an 89 rated player to submit in an SBC, however he exceeded expectations incredibly. I played him up top in a 4-1-2-1-2 (2) to the left of Flashback Torres, and subbed him on in the first minute meaning we has also only on 6 chemistry. I used him in Weekend league and for the very first time this year I managed to finish in Gold 1 and it was largely thanks to Falcao. He is not the player that does it all himself but he just finds the space in the box for the through ball to be fed for EL Tigre to devour. When you get him through on goal or with space outside the box he is one of the most clinical forwards I have used this year. Right foot, left foot, headers, he scores them all. Get him in behind the defence and he has the pace to stay ahead and muscle off of even the likes of flashback David Luiz to put the ball in the net. If you have him in your club give him a try in a Ligue 1 players, with Colombians like HL Zapata or Cuadrado or even sub him in like I did. You must use the card as it is, a poacher, and must not try to light the world on fire and get him to score by himself by a dribble run or scoring longshots outside 25 yards and the goals will flow swiftly.

  • Finishing
  • Weak foot (he doesn't have one)
  • Headers
  • Positioning to make space for himself
  • Close control dribbling, especially in the box
  • Near post headers on corners
  • Strength
  • Jumping, absolutely soars to win headers
  • Hold up play
  • Pace if I'm picky, doesn't rely on pace to score his goals
  • Height, however with jumping it's not a noticeable deficit

WHAT a bargain

Rivals: DIV 4Weekend League: Gold 2 mostlyI don't think this review will be published by the time the SBC is over, but I'm gonna write it down anyway. So up until recently, I have been using UCL live Cavani to partner my RTTF Ben Yedder upfront. The idea was to have more dimensions in my attack by having two opposite type of players. Cavani scores many goals for me, he delivers, but sometimes can be...

OMG

Early, I know but this may be the greatest value sbc EA have ever released. For 50k you have one of the best strikers and it can be made even cheaper if you already have an inform in your club which I didn't. Mainly being employed as a super sub, falcao saved my arse so many times across this weekend.

Well, no matter which FIFA you're playing, Radamel Falcao is a good and cheap option for you Ligue 1 squad. With just a few options in this very beggining of FIFA19, UCL Falcao is one of the best strikers to use. You might be scared by the
