George Best, what a player and what a card! While picking him up a while ago I was uncertain whether to go with this card or Figo's 90, I ended up picking the northern irishman and that was defo the right decision. His pace is extremely noticeable in-game and with a hunter it's clear to see that he gets the 99 pace, his height and agility adds to that and he truly feels like lightning on the ball. Another key-stat is his 99 (with a hunter) shot power. If you hit a green powershot from within the box you're bound to score nine times out of ten, and his outrageous pace gets him in those situatuons very often. Leading to braces and hat-tricks being everything but a rare sight. His 4 star 4 star is also extremely nice to have, it gives you the ability to do those heel-to-heel flicks and then run away from the defender and green a powershot for the goal. You also don't need to worry about what foot the ball is at, his right is obviously better but his left is fully useable. He may not be the tallest, but his 80 jumping helps him win over quite a few wingbacks and his 87 heading acc is really really nice as well. Even if he doesn't head the ball of a cross, his 99 volleys will certainly not let you down and most of the time end up in the net. His stamina is also more than enough and he will still make those ridiculous runs in the 120' minute and win you the game in it's closing minutes. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this card and feel like it's criminally underpriced. He scores every opportunity he gets and is one of the fastest players I've ever used.
