Is DIRTY DIEGO that good?

By DecksterKack64, 26-01-2020

What can i say about this card...

Well, he really has that 96 physical, he passes through defenders like an M1 Abrams or T-90, his short passing is also not bat for a striker. Dribbling feels usable for that big and lanky type of a card.

BUT the main thing that screws up the whole card is the LACK of finishing.Yes, you heard me right. You expect this guy to score everything at least within the box, but there is just something wrong with it. IDK if its me this bad , or its the card.He also has 70- Jumping,so heading is not that much of an option.He hits the post SO FCKN OFTEN, it's unimaginable. In my opinion the problem is the lack of any traits, which makes his incredible shooting stats worthless. I played him as a Single ST in 4231. He was usable as a guy that runs through CB's and passes or heads the ball to wingers or CAM's. He wasn't awful, but i was very dissapointed.Firstly i put him instead of 89 UCL moments Benzema, and honestly , he's way way better as a finisher, and as a striker option in general. Thoughts?

Diego "the tank" Costa

This SBC was a no brainer for me. I managed to do him for ~ 30k with some players i had untradeable in my club. I played about 7 matches in rivals Division 4 and all i can say this guy is totally worth it. I do not play weekeng league, so i probably won't test him there. I did a quick search and it seemes as of today, 21 January , there are no strikers that have 90+ shooting combined with 90+ physical other than mid and pri...

This man is an animal!!

Hey guys! This is my first review and I haven't been so excited to write a review until I got this card. I was thinking to myself, Is this guy really that bad? Since everyone is talking about how his agility is so bad and his balance. But don't look at those stats. He does turn like a tank, but this man turns into a train when he starts running. He will bull dog most defenders and finish with ease. I have Costa along side w...

Cheap Overpowered Striker

At first, when I saw this card I was confused to get him or not because of the agility and balance mainly but as I looked at the price he was a must to do SBC. For that value, he is one of the best strikers you can currently get. In=game I play with 4-1-2-1-2 narrow and he fits perfectly in my attack having got Saurez POTM playing at CAM and partnering Crespo at striker. In-game he actu...
