Player Review
90 - Premium SBC
Hey guys, this is my first Review so be nice :D
So this guy is an absolute beast, honestly. I have now played 52 Games with Villa (most of them with a rather bad team to get my Spwa Icon players) and he has scored 61 Goals and has 23 assists so far!
As soon as the SBC came out there was no doubt that he'll be in my team. No regrets at all! I've used some top top strikers including the likes of Griezmann OTW and Son. Villa is easily compareable to those. A minor downside is the league and that you won't get him on full chem as easy as other strikers. I solved that "problem" by getting Guardiola in my squad and using a spanish LB as there are plenty good LBs.
Leading to Villa ingame! As I've said he's an absoulute beast. Every shot, and I literally mean every single shot inside the box is goal. No matter if it's with his right or with his left foot.
With his 90 pace he'll easily run past most of the defenders. Only the likes of Van Dijk or a really fast defender (77+ Pace) will catch up. His dribbling, although he "only" has 77 agility and 80 balance wasn't an issue at all. He controls the ball very fast and it's quiet hard to get it off him once he dribbles. This combined with his 84 PHY is just deadly and makes it really hard to stop him.
His 81 short passing (86 with an enginge slapped on him) is definately another plus for this card (23 assists might speak for itself).
Although I've tried really really hard to find a downside to this card I can't. To all those who missed to do this SBC: I feel sorry for you
To those who did him: Congrats! You own one of the most op cards in the game. He'll definitely stay in my starting 11 for a loooong time!
Great finishing (in and outside the box)
Good pace
Hard to get the ball off him (dribbling + PHY combined)
only around 200k - compared to other top strikers an absolute bargain
short passing
There are no real cons on this one
League (maybe, but as he's spanish it's rather easy to link him up)
