87 - Flashback SBC
Wow. Talk about value for money.
Even though he has currently only been out for 2 hours (current time of writing - 9:17 AM, NZT), he has been an absolute GOAT for me.
He has played 11 games in high end division 3, and has caused 6 rage quits. 6 RAGE QUITS!
This is mainly because of his really high dribbling stats, and his 4 star skills. He is quick, agile, and can pass. The only downside though is that he is quite weak (47 strength), and can get pushed off the ball easily by bulky players like Van Dijk, Pique, Nesta, etc.
However, due to his silky dribbling he can easily maneuver around these players. He can play lovely weighted balls straight to my strikers (Rashford, Aguero) and thus giving tons of assists. He can score too. With maestro, he has 87 long shots, but it honestly feels like 99 sometimes. He has scored 3 absolute belters from outside the box.
This Mata card is just such a good CAM. Definitely worth the coins, and definitely an end game player. (For me at least)
- Dribbling
- Passing - especially through balls
- Long-range shooting - can shoot inside the box too, but doesn't tend to make runs into it
- Pace - can last all game due to the 94 stamina, and is quick off the mark with 89 acceleration, but other players tend to catch up quick due to his 78 sprint speed. It doesn't MATA too much though, as he can release the ball well (see what I did there?)
- End game player :)
- Strength - can be an issue if you do hold-up play, but doesn't MATA too much due to his dribbling (sorry, I'll stop doing that)
- Defending - doesn't MATA too much for his position (couldn't help myself)
