88 - TOTS Moments SBC
3.5
Ant-Man
By mrdanios, 01-06-2019

For context: The main reason I got this card was I could afford him without spending more than approx. 25k. I use Paco mainly as a placeholder until I can afford one of the top tier strikers. See my funds were drained after doing TOTS Tah and TOTS Goretzka. Building the BuLi squad I could no longer use my favorite CL SBC Benzema. After playing with Paco for 23 games I will have a hard time finding a striker to replace him to be fair. Keep in mind I'm a casual FIFA-player.


Honestly, the card looks bang average. He's not too quick, he's not too strong, his dribbling isn't too standout at first glance. Although after a long search of which striker to use I feel at home with him. I've used the ginormous TIF Weghorst, TIF Poulsen, yet neither of those makes me feel close to the way Paco makes me feel.


At first I used Paco as a false nine to open up space up top for POTM Havertz. Paco wasn't too impressive. His sluggish passing and slow pace made him unusable in games where I play on the counter. Even when I slapped a hunter on him he felt uninterested and slow when trying to get forward from his dropped position. But as soon as I made him play of the shoulder of the opposition he transformed to a beast. With his 90 pace (with hunter) he was quick enough to win a few meters running behind the defenders. Enough to score a goal. And that is what this card basically is. A goal scoring machine. With his 96 positioning (higher with chem styles) and 96 reactions he's bound to be on spot whenever you need him to. His low composure isn't anything I've noticed thus far.


Compared to my main favorite striker, Benzema, Paco lacks the passing and build-up play. He lacks the physical presence that Benzema brought. Although Paco's size, positioning and reactions made him another type of lethal striker.


For the price I'd say Paco's a good investment, and if you need a striker who does his job, I recommend getting him.

  • Cheap for what you get
  • Always in position to score
  • So small the opposition defenders forget he's there
  • Tucks anything away inside the box
  • Not the quickest (without chemstyles)
  • Gets bullied off the ball easily
  • Average passin
  • Don't try to cross it to him
