91 - FUT Birthday
I came to a point with FIFA where the game became boring and a bit dull, i decided to spice up my life with the United legend himself ;). I started him at ST (with a sniper chem style) in a 4231, with FUT Birthday Costa at LAM; Ben Yedder at CAM and Mbappe at RAM, and boy he did not disappoint. The 5*5* upgrade combined with his 94 shot power is game changing, left or right foot inside the box he will score.
There are only a couple of minor issues to consider before buying the card; his strength stat at 63 is not a lie, his skinny stock in game doesn't help him in the area. Di Maria doesn't have the finesse shot trait which does lead to some of his shots from outside the box to be underwhelming.
This version of Di Maria is however insane, in DIV 2 and WL (G1/E3 standard): Games - 54, Goals - 67, Assists - 24
Do not, i repeat DO NOT waste my guy out on the wing.
Pace: 9/10 - No surprise he is rapid, can break any backline with ease.
Dribbling: 9.5/10 - Scoop turns into shots are OP with him, has the sticky effect hard to tackle and take the ball off him.
Shooting: 8.5/10 - Inside the box he is unstoppable, makes great runs and has very good positioning
Passing: 10/10 - Very good passing and has a very good FK on him.
Defending: N/A - Irrelevant
Physical - 8.5/10 - Stamina is not an issue at striker has lasted full 90 + ET on numerous occasions
Shooting from outside of the box is unpredictable.
Physically has a weak stock in game (not major)
