Douglas Costa RTTF...I'm speechless
By SnakeEater89, 03-01-2019

This D. Costa is absolutely insane. At the beginning I wasn't enthusiast because as a left wing with a left foot his crosses and passes wasn't so good. Not worth at all for a +300k card. But when I switch him in game on the right side of the pitch... oh my God, absolutely amazing. Whit his left foot he can finesse from every angle without a problem. He is incredibly fast and with 97 pace outrun every single LB on the game. With Deadeye he has 96 Positioning, 99 Shot Power and 90 Long Shot which means that outside of the box is incredibly dangerous. I know what are you thinking: "Even with Deadeye is finishing is only 86". And well it's true but in game it looks like at least 95. Believe me outside of the box this card is pure gold. Costa helps you even in defence, a lot of time I saw him cover my fullback to bring the ball and start a counterattack. Last but not least if you are a skiller with 5 Star skill you can dribble in any way you want.


He is fast, with 99 Acceleration and 94 Sprint Speed outrun the defenders and is incredibly good to beat the line

On the right side of the field with his left foot he can finesse from every position

Great ball control with 95 Agility and 93 Balance is a pleasure use him

5 Star Skill


His crosses are good but not perfect in fact IMHO is better use hime to score;

He can't shield the ball against strong defender because his lack of straight but with his pace most of the time the defendere didn't have the time to reach him;

Bought Douglas Costa RttF about 2 months ago for approximately 350k. From the first match he was overwhelmingly good as an LM in a 4-4-1-1 with Ibra flashback upfront. His pace and dribbling is exciting, and help you in getting too fast from defence into attack. His crosses could be a little bit better, he can't find every time the freed players. BUT his shooting and positioning is perfect for me. He can unlock every single defence with his movement without the ball, and many times he goes into 1on1 with opponents GK. For me his finishing is very good, despite the 71 finishing (which goes 86 with Deadeye), he misses one shot every 5 or more shots, even with his weak foot which has 3*.

  • Very fast and agile
  • Excellent Dribbler
  • Very good positioning
  • Very good scorer
  • Crosses could be a little bit better
  • Lacks in Physical, and loses the ball easy sometimes

The Crossbar King

Douglas Costa is an otherwise good card, marred by his awful finishing. Even with the Deadeye chem style, his finishing (86) is beyond bad. He makes so many amazing runs into the box and his dribbling is near-elite, but he bottles so many easy finishes. If EA ever release another "woodwork" challenge, Douggie is the man for the job. He's the best player at his position for my team, but I would sell him in a heartbeat for Neymar if he fit my team better chemistry-wise. Overall, stay away from this card unless you need him for his links or you never shoot with your wingers.

  1. Very fast
  2. Very good passing overall
  3. Near-elite-level dribbling
  4. 5 star skills
  5. High offensive work rate
  1. Can't shoot, can't score consistently, and bottles easy finishes
  2. Low long pass rating hurts his ability to cross accurately and consistently assist attacks on counters
  3. Mediocre reactions and composure do not help out his shooting issues
  4. Three star weak foot
  5. Not an aerial threat nor a physical presence
