Player Review
87 - FUT Birthday Wkly Ob
I know this card was a challenge from long ago and there is no way of getting it anymore but maybe this review will convince you to keep this card instead of trading it in for an sbc or whatever. Ever since I got this card I have used it as a super sub in pretty much every WL/div rivals game I have played and this guy has been insane. The amount of times this man has turned games around completely is crazy. Sub this guy on while you're down a goal and he will do everything possible to win you the game. He is by far the fastest player I have used this year. I don't know what makes him feel so rapid but he is pretty much Usain Bolt. His pace matched with his good dribbling stats just make him a huge threat to your opponents tired defense in the late game. Also, his relatively high shooting stats helps him score loads of goals. He will even pop in a header once in a while due to his decent jumping and heading accuracy. In 354 games he has 101 goals and 91 assists, that's 192 goal contributions for a player that comes on for the last 20-30 mins of the game. I had always wanted to write a review on this guy and I chose to do it now because I just subbed him on while I was down 3-2 and I won 4-3. So, if you have this guy and are not subbing him on every game, what are you doing?
- Pace - As I said earlier, this guy is the fastest player I have used all year and easily gets through defenders, especially when they are tired.
- Shooting - He finishes most of his shots in the box and overall good shooter.
- Dribbling - Great dribbler, very good on the ball
- Passing - Passing clearly isn't his best asset but he can pass the ball well.
- Defending - Obviously defending is not why you sub Gervinho on, however he does get back and defend pretty well in the late stages of the game
- Stamina - 99, absolute engine
- 3* skills and WF - I honestly never notice the skill deficit because all you have to do with this guy is run, however the weak foot can be poor sometimes but has never really been an issue.
- Literally nothing else.
