I was doubting to make him because of the 3 star combo. However i decided to complete the sbc. First match: what the hell did i just do. Second match: what the hell did i just do. Third match: same. i was sad. really sad. what can i do to improve this shitty player?? Hunter chemistry maybe? guess what.... CHICHARRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOO hat trick in hist 4th game. chemistry + get in behind + aggressive interceptions = unstoppable. that 99 acceleration, 92 sprint speed, 98 positioning, 96 finishing,91 shot power and 89 composure made him a nightmare for rivals inside the area

This card has caused some real controversy recently. Everyone in the comments is at such a split decision on whether to the sbc or not. I took a gamble and did it think I have nothing to loose. This man has completely changed the game for me. I was close to giving up on FIFA this year because of the struggles of finding a striker that works for me. He is just an irritant to play against and I would absolutely hate to play against him. He scores so often for me and it's really helped me out with Div rivals and FUT Champs. His finishing is superb as is his positioning because he's always in the right place.

I'll keep this short and sweet but to settle the debate for this card, in my opinion it was absolutely worth it , i would fully recommend this card to anyone even if you only used him as a super sub. He may not work for others but for me he's been sensational and truly saved my interest in FIFA? this year.

I don't write many reviews on this platform, and I'm definitely not the best FIFA player out there, but for some players i think it's important to write one from my own experience. As the title says, think about this when you are planning to do this... It will cost you around 120k I believe, for that money, you have Kane, Lewandowski, Cavani, Almost Lukaku... But when i saw this card i wanted to do it right away. I didn't even look at his stats but i needed him. In the EPL, there are not many strikers like this... I play in a 41212(2) and i like my strikers to be quick, agile, and deadly in front of the goal. I play him together with Lucas potm and i must say, the pair is deadly. They make up for each other, Lucas' passing makes up for Chicha's "bad" passing, and Chicha makes up for Lucas' "bad" finishing. Don't expect chicha to be this world class player, his passing isn't ideal imo, his pace is good but imo i don't notice it as much as with Lucas. But his finishing is deadly, almost every attempt goes in, left foot right foot doesn't matter, his 3* wf is not noticeable in game, at all, he'll bang in goals with his left foot as well. But the most important thing are his finesses, best finesse player i've used so far this FIFA. When he's through on goal, don't be scared, he'll finish it. So my conclusion is, if you don't like to play with target players like Kane, Lukaku, Lewandowski and you want a quick striker to pair up with another quick striker or a target man, this is your guy. Like i said, don't rely on him to be the playmaker and to start the action, because that's not what he does. It took me 11 games to get his first assist, in a 41212(2) formation, that's quite bad... but in 11 games, he scored 24 goals so he makes up for his assists. But when you're used to him and you know how to use him, he's an absolute GOD. I watched Marshall89HD's review about this guy and changed the sniper chemstyle for the Deadeye chemstyle, to improve his finishing and shooting. The stamina isn't a real problem imo, because i put him on "stay forward" so he doesn't make much useless runs for me. I also play like "tiki - taka" football with a lot of short passes and one-two's and when the time is right, he will get in behind. Again, his passing is 70, not the best. The stats that convinced me the most were his finishing, composure, positioning and reactions, remarquable and very good for a striker like him, but now on to the more detailed reviews per stat!

When I first saw the stats on the card I wasn't sure it was worth it. 87 pace, 85 shooting and 85 dribbling look very nice but that 66 physical with 73 stamina and 59 strength made me have second thoughts. In the end I decided to complete his SBC and I am glad I did. In-game he just feels so much better than the stats suggest.

Pace: He is fast, his card says 87 pace but that is a lie. For the first games I used him with basic chem style and he simply felt faster than 87. I applied hunter chem which boosts his pace to 95 and he is ridiculously fast. He is His pace stil feels faster than 95 and thats saying a lot.

Shooting: Oh boy where do I start. Hist best shooting stat is without a doubt his attacking position, its simply the best I've seen so far, better than Kane and better than Agüero. He will always find the perfect spot or can open the perfect chance for a through ball. He loses his marking defender with incredible ease. Not only is his att. position good but his finishing is also top notch. He will easily get 1v1 chances with the keeper and he will simply not miss out on the chance to score. Shooting is definitely better than the card stat suggests.

Dribbling: Not only is he fast and a good shooter, he's also very quick with the ball. He feels so fluid and agile handling the ball which makes him harder to tackle. Despite only 3* skill moves heel flicks and faints are so OP with him due to his speed and agility.

Passing: Not a strong stat but is is quite decent. Using him as a poacher or target man you won't use much of his passing but its still decent when needed.

Heading: His heading is very accurate and is seriously good at jumping but due to his height he won't win most of heading chances. When he gets a cross without a defender marking him he will certainly not miss with his head.

Physical: This one I couldn't really understand. Card says 66 which is pretty low. We can see 73 stamina and 59 strength which is simply too low for an 87 rated striker. But in-game, you can see that that is simply a big lie. When I first got him I expected I would ned to sub him about around the 70th minute but so far I've never had to do so. This guy can run for the whole match (maybe not extra time). His strength made me think he would lose the ball as soon as a defender got near him but that simply doesn't happen, he can hold the ball very well for 59 strength.

Overall I can say that he was well worth the price of the SBC. It seemed that this year we weren't getting an overpowered Mexican like Lozano was last year but we did and his name is Chicharito.
