84 - SIF

5.0

One of the best box2box players (84 version)

By wavescanner, 25-11-2019

If you are looking for (i would say one of the best, if not the best) "Allrounder" in Fifa 20 - McGinn is the player you are looking for.

You can play him as :

CAM (sniper chem style),

CM (Catalyst chem style) or

CDM (Shadow chem style).

As CAM:

He is an outstanding shooter, especially "outside the box distance shooting". Futbin say: no special shooting traits - but i am sure he has at least the long shot taker trait.

I played them all: Cr7, H. Kane, Messi etc., but the distance shooting from McGinn is a different level.

He also has a good dribbling. With the sniper chem style he has 95 agility and 93 balance - only the Composure could be better.

As CM:

With the Catalyst chem style he passes like modric or Tony Kroos, but he is stronger and has much more stamina

As CDM:

With Shadow he got all the things a good defender will need: Good speed, Good defending skills etc.

Only his hight (5'10") could be sometimes a problem.

Upgrade?

If you looking for a "cheap Gullit" - McGinn 84 Inform is the Answer. If you need to upgrade McGinnat some point: the next upgrade is the middle version of Gullit.

But If McGinn gets more Inform upgrades or a special card i would say he could outstrip Gullit´s middle version, for sure.

Cheap but equal version of Wijnaldum

Looked at all of the stats and thought, these seem familiar, to Wijnaldum! They are nearly identical. Tried him out and he played extremely similarly to wijnaldum. McGinn got into scroing position time and time again. He finished most of his chances. What really surprised me was how well he got back defensively. Even though he played on the left side of my formation, his 4* weak foot showed. Ball off his right foot w...

Hey there!!Just played the last FUT Champs with this guy in my squad. I got him in rewards and tried him out in the first WL matches, but kept him cause he’s a beast. He’s just sooooo good. I used him as CM (with Gladiator chem) along with Matthäus in a 4-4-2, so I needed him to defend and attack and he nailed it. With 81 strength and 88 balance there's no way to make him fall or get the ball from him. Very good...

The All Positions Player

There are many more incisive and expensive alternative in the Premier League, but for 10/12k this card it is an absolutely bargain.He start as a right CAM in my 4231, as a left footed player he is able to cut in and his 4 star weak foot...
