80 - OTW
I've been using the gold Joao and now this one since it came out and he's been a reliable playmaker. I was struggling between chem styles (started with Engine, moved to Hunter, and am now on Sniper) but regardless it's a good card. Sniper is preferred for me due to the composure upgrade and additions to his agility; he was missing a lot of 1v1's and the low drivens were often way off.
Regardless... he finally got the real face update and besides it looking terrific, I swear he is playing better! More composure, smoother on the ball, a bit quicker, maybe a strength boost? He's even got the hair so defenders can't see his eyes to predict his next move!
Anyway, running him with Bruno Fernandes has proven to be a terrific playmaking midfield ever since the beginning of the game, so hoping he can get healthy and get some IF's, which should make this card lethal.
