Player Review
91 - UCL LIVE
Many people understandably question the value of this card, with his 84 being only 2 ratings lower and a fraction of the price. But I think it's justified. Yes his 84 can still get the job done, but if you're a fan of fun or maybe don't quite have the budget for Messi, this card is definitely a strong option. His decent bump in finishing compared to his 84 has been noticeable to me. It's very rare he hits the post with a near post shot now. And everything that was already good about Dembele (dribbling, pace etc.) is just that little bit better. But with another guaranteed upgrade coming soon I can't wait to see what he'll be like.
The reason I think his price is justified though is because his card as the "framework" to be better than Messi for me in 2 upgrades and probably similar in 1. That's because of the 5* 5* combo allowing for elasticos and running scoop turns which are 2 of my favourite skill moves this year. Then as a bonus he has the much better links being French and he has the potential to go out of control in rating if Barca go far. Does a French, almost max pace, 5* 5* with high dribbling allowing you to put deadeye on and max out his shooting stats sound OP to you? Does to me. Plus he can upgrade throughout the year as your team upgrades without needing to be touched. So do I think he's amazing value? No not really. But do I think he's very fun, competitive and fairly priced? Yeah.
P.S put him on conservative interceptions and he can easily play full games.
