86 - Halloween SBC
4.0
Slippery Little Bast*rd
By wonttellyouagain, 30-10-2019

I loved watching this guy play in MLS and I don't really have a proper like-for-like sub for Messi on my bench, so I thought what the hell. This guy plays pretty much exactly how I thought he would. Tiny, fast, agile, close control, great shooting, excellent passing. He's the type of guy that gets tackled 3, 4, 5, a half dozen times before he loses the ball, then immediately wins it back. Really does feel like the poor man's GOAT. I swear he's got a cephalopod trait that allows him to expand and contract his body at will to get in and out of tight spaces where a normal man could not.


Acceleration is great out of tight spots but he's not going to outrun most meta defenders, which I feel like Messi is usually pretty capable of. I was subbing him on so stamina was no issue for me. He's an absolute dwarf and won't win a single contested header in any situation, but you should still try because it's hilarious watching him only get about chest high with his jump.

The Chihuahua (Sebastian Giovinco)

As soon as this card came out I knew I needed to try it out. Unfortunately he isn’t in the best league but still has a decent nation. I played this guy as my CAM in a 4231 with stay forward instructions. And I have to say his dribbling is the best I have used this game and he doesn’t lose the ball. He turns in the blink of an eye and is past your opponents defender by then. Also his shooting is ridiculous, his finesse s...

Giovinco

Very nice card. I used it as CAM in 4231. It was very nice back up behind CR7. He was nice to link with Gattuso and Cannavaro. This Card was very fast, his dribbling feels very nice but his fake shot is not so nice because the defenders get the ball easily. His curve shot is sometimes nice but sometimes not. (Sorry for my english but I am from Asia)

Giovinco the Goat

When i first saw this card i was so exited to try him out but i was wondering why no one else seemed to be exited by it. You will not find a card with better dribbling then him he is agile and has incredible ball control.His shots are consistent and are accurate but could be more powerful.His strength is bad but his aggresion makes up for it. His passing is perfect and his pace is very ...
