92 - Flashback SBC
Quick review before SBC expires.
So we've been blessed with the return of the one and only El Nino.
As a Liverpool-fan I had to do the SBC, even though Fernando broke my heart back in 2011.
His Flashback card, however, reminds me of why it was so hard to take, when he left Liverpool, as he was truly amazing.
So far I've played five games with him. 4 in Rivlas div 4 and 1 in Squad Battles Legendary. He has 9 goals, 1 assist (in 5 games).
Let me first and foremost say, that stamina, composure and balance is of absolutely no problem. With 'stay forward' on he doesn't even get tired. He has had 94 fitness
after every 90 minute-game so far, so stamina is of absolutely no concern, and he is ligtning fast throughout every game.
'Tries to beat defensive line'
This is the most important thing of the card, I think. With the new meta, where power shots and low drivens are back, beating the defensive line is so important.
And Fernando tries to do that all the time. I play 41212 (2) and 4231, and every time you play the ball a little wide, you see Fernando running between the CB and RB or LB.
And he is extremely fast doing so, which gives you so much space and time to either shoot og make something from the wing. 3* skills can be an issue here, but you can go a
long way with body feints and roll backs. Which he does fast as well. Medium attacking work rate feels as high.
His shooting is phenomenal. I don't know about finesse shots from outside the box, as the AI always f***ing blocks them, but power shots with either foot (4* weak foot feels like 5*)
just goes through the keeper. His first goal came from his first shot with his left foot from outside the box into the side netting. The keeper couldn't even react.
Shot power 98 is so easy to see and feel. Absolute canons for feet!
Heading is OP as f*** too. 94 jumping and 89 heading makes him Zlatan-esque dangerous from corners, and I win countless headers inside the box. Just a shame I suck at aiming them,
otherwise he would probably have 5 goals more than he has by now.
I really recommend doing him, whether you are being a nostalgic Liverpool-fan or just want an OP striker for your team. He is amazing.
- Tries to beat defensive line. So, so important. Makes him twice as lethal.
- Speed. He is fast. Really fast. Like Earl Megget from 'The Longest Yard'.
- Shooting. Kaboom! So powerful and precise. Forget about finesse. Just fire away!
- Heading. Reckon he was underestimated in that aspect in real life, though he was absolutely crazy at heading. His card is, too.
- Dribling. He does it. And he does it well.
- Passing. It is all right. He can make fine short passes. Haven't tried him as a CM, so don't about the long passing. Probably average.
- Strength. Insanely strong, which is ever so important in the new meta.
- 4* weak foot. Honestly feels like 5*, but let's call it a 4,5*.
- Too many pros.
- 3* skills. You can cope, but it has its natural limitations.
- Statwise stamina, balance and composure is relatively low. Honestly, I can't feel it.
- Price. SBC is over 250 k coins. It's a lot. He is worth it for sure, but still some cash to put into an untradeable player.
- Links. Spain ain't that OP anymore, and without Icons he is hard to fit in. Until David Villa gets released.
I don't understand the hate that this card becomes. Yeah he is not a typical Fifa Striker, he is not very agile, his balance is weak. BUT if you know how to play with him, he is an magnificent striker. First of all i paired him up with Zlatan Flashback at ST. I'm a player that loves to cross and play quick passes.
Torres is not a guy to dribble or run though the hole defense. He is a typical Striker like Icardi. He needs the passes, the crosses or the throuh balls. He needs help from his Team. His passing is okay but not perfect. He finishes nearly everything in the box or outside the box. He is a real Target Man with perfect attack position.His Stamina is okay. I had no problems with his Stamina and at the End he have 40% of his Stamina. I payed 100k for him and even if you pay 250k for him, it is an joke for what you got for that price. You get an 95 Striker (Marksmen) and guys its El NINO
- very fast without the ball
- clinical
- aerial threat
- attack position
- dribbling (not the best player to dribble with)
- passing
- not very agile with ball on his feet (quick turns a very difficult)
As soon as i had seen this card, i knew that i just had to do him.
The SBC costed me around 180k because of some players already in my club, but i was still scared that you wouldnt be good enough because of his price and the fact, that hes pretty hard to link.
after 10 Games i can say; HES A MONSTER:
!= Games, 24 Goals and 2 Assists for this lad,
- His Shooting is insanely good, Longshots, Headers, Tap Ins. He can score everything!
- Pace. Even tho he has pretty bad acceleration for a striker with 91 Pace, hecan overrun every defender he faces.
- 3. Strength. He can even keep Possesion against players like Ramos or Varane.
- Dribbling. The 3 Star Skillmoves are kinda a handicap, but you dont need to use them with Torres.
So because EA banned me from the transfer market I needed to give up on a lot of good players like: Aguero,Fabinho,Lucas(POTM),Alba and more...
it was hard to give up on those players and a huge risk but I said to myself its gonna be the last time I will ever play with El Nino so why not?..
after I have done the challenges I got him and what can I say just W O W ! I linked him to baby Stoichkov and mane on 4312 (in the min) and its been amazing
I recommend everyone who can link him well to do his card he is Amazing!
BTW-all the games I played with him was only in the WL and he absoultly ready for this!
Finishing 10/10: Every time he is one on one he scores.
Pace 7/10: His pace isnt that good dosent feel like 91 but still fast and can break defences.
Arieal Fights 10/10: His jumping reach and the heading accuracy is amazing always wininng the ball on the air and scores a lot of goals in corners..
Defending 7/10: Maybe the in-game stat not good but he surely can take the ball and get onto the attack.
Agilty 5/10: Not good enough he feel somtimes very heavy and can lose the ball because of this.
Balance 5/10: Although I had some physical fights against storng players and he won he falls really fast and losing the ball.
Hello! This will be my firt review of a fifa player. He is a game changer. Scoring goals was never this easy. Before him i playd with Aubameyang and after with Stoichkov(87).
I never regret i did this SBC. I use SNIPER chemistry and when im inside the box 9/10 shots goes in. His jumping and headings is very very good and scores from corners too.
His shoot power is nice and scores realy good bangers outside of the box. 75 stamina is not such a problem, i've played 120min with him as a ST.
Sometimes deffenders push him off the ball but he can recover it very fast. His short passes are very good too.
His weak foot is 4* wich is very nice, 3* skills but for me its not such a problem.
Shoot - he can bang goals all day long
Pass - for an ST, super short passes
Heading and jumping
Balance and composure shoud be more because of his real stats in real life, but its not such a problem.
