McBeast

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 also in standing tackle (82), good ball control and agility so he’s more than capable to run with the ball or keep it if you need to slow down the game. The pace for a CM is just what you need and the 95 stamina makes him run all the match without getting tired. Last part: Long shots, do you remember those overpowered long shots from 20-25 metres from FIFA 17? This guy is still playing that game. I scored 8 goals with him in 25 matches in FUT Champs, all of them from outside the box. I had Ndombele and Sissoko before him in than position along with Doucoure IF, but there’s nothing like this guy in the midfield. Trust me.

One of the best box2box players (84 version)

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".

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...

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...
