The Brazilian Pogba
By Philneezy, 24-03-2019

While playing the games for this weekly objective card, I expected to get him and only use him as a sub for my main team. After using him, however, he has become one of my favorite midfielders that I have used in the entire game and I have changed my team around just to fit him in.

The biggest thing that this card brings to the table is his shooting ability. If I didn't have 91 Eusebio, this man would be my CAM in a 4-1-2-1-2(2). Instead he plays as a CM for me, but he still bangs goals most games for me. Shooting for distance is a breeze for him and he has taken over my Eusebio and FB Ibra's spot as my favorite free kick taker for the team.

As a CM, he has what he needs to be good to great in every aspect. He has the pace, dribbling, and passing ability to easily get the ball up field, while also being able to defend when he is needed. His long legs easily intercept passes through the middle and make him seems faster than what his pace stat says. The only complaints I have is his stamina and jumping. In terms of his stamina, he can usually make it through the game, but occasionally I've had to sub him off early and he definitely won't make it through extra time. I also use maestro which doesn't up his jumping. I have had instances where he just doesn't jump on a ball that he could easily win and I'm not sure if that is because of his jumping stat or his 6'3 height, but either way this has only been a minor issue for me.

Overall, this card was 100% worth the time to get. He plays like a 4* skills Pogba without the cost. I know this review is coming late and after the time people can get his card, but if you have him and haven't tried him yet, definitely give him a try.

  • Long Shots and Finishing ability inside the box
  • Driven Free Kicks
  • 4*4*
  • 6'3 with long legs gives boost to his already insane stats as a CM
  • Dribbles with the ball well for his height
  • Precision Passing
  • Defending is good for CM but I wouldn't try him personally as a CDM
  • Stamina hurts him in some games
  • Like I said, defending good enough for a CM but not good enough to be your main defender in the midfield
  • Jumping
  • The fact you can't get him know if you didn't do the Weekly Objective

IF Talisca Review: Incredible Value

This IF Talisca card is absolutely incredible. Finesse shots from the edge of the box using timed finishing with either foot are nearly unstoppable with this card. He feels remarkably agile for someone his size, and he is relatively quick over short and long distances even without a pace-boosting chemistry style. He makes an exceptional CAM, but his defensive skills are so good that he could be useful as a CM or even CDM in...

Best Cm so far

Now to start off, I have used many 'top tier' CM's this year ( Kroos, Isco, Fred, Eriksen, Paulinho) but I can assure you that this guy is the best of them all. Absolute beast. I use him as the LCM in a 4-1-2-1-2 (2) and he absolutely controls both the midfield and attack. He is incredibly solid going into challenges seeing as he his very tall and has an OK defensive statistic. Not only does he solidify your midfield, he al...

God amongs puny mortals

Hello there! Welcome to my review of God himself.Being not too satisfied with my first iteration of my Italian/Brazilian starter team, I wanted to switch my weaker links out. Talisca blessed me with a golden opportunity. He would be my leading midfielder (bought for 40K) in my revamped team instead of Gómez. And boy, did he take control. I switch to a 4-3-2-1 formation, with him switching from his central...
