86 - FUT Birthday

4.5

The Argentinian CR7

By danielto7, 14-04-2020

After a full Weekend League run the previous week (20-9), I decided to casually play to Gold 3 and test this card out. I finished 14-6.

First of all, I have to say that I had bought this guy as an investment. However, I was curious to see how he would perform in FUT Champions. I played him as a ST in 4-2-3-1 with Mertens and Lozano as my wide CAMs and red Neymar in the middle. I am usually not a fan of tall strikers in this game. Correa however was a pleasant surprise:

He feels quite agile and due to his strength he is really hard to tackle. The ball weirdly sticks to his feet. Although his dribbling is very good, he can't do sharp turns like Mbappe or TOTY Mane, but I didn't expect that anyway. His pace is very good, even without boosting it with a chem style.

His shooting is phenomenal, especially finesse shots. I can't remember missing a single finesse shot with him. His finishing in general is very good. Sometimes I did notice the lack of composure when he took an extra touch, so that the GK was able to come out and save the shot. Another con could be the weak foot finishing. It wasn't as consistent as I hoped it would be. In some occasions he didn't hit the target or he even missed it by far. He still scored a few bangers on his left though.

Another positive is definitely his passing which is fantastic for a striker. He has very well rounded stats and he shows them in game. You could play him as a CAM or CF for sure.

Lastly, I didn't really have many issues with his stamina in regular time. Strikers normally don't need more than 75 stamina for my style of play (balanced, pressure on heavy touch). I did notice it depleting in extra time though which could be an issue.

To sum up, Correa represents incredible value for coins. He isn't an elite tier player, but definitely a great option for people who can't afford big icons or CR7/Mbappe. He feels very similar to CR7 in game. He doesn't have the custom running animation or the heading, but heading isn't a big thing anyway in this game.

I really enjoyed using the card and I can recommend him 100%.

Surprisingly a beast!!

Sorry for my english. First of all I´m gonna say that I´m a normal/bad player who tries to get fun with this game, I´ve finished in almost gold 3 with him (wich for me is great because iI just play for fun). So, I played with normal Son before him, but the korean god started to fail a lot of passes and goals, so I thought to buy another CAM, I look for prices a leagues and then Correa appeared for a very good price (127k...

The Poor man's Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo is the gold standard for Serie A strikers, but he's also prohibitively expensive for most players. Coming in at just under 600k as of writing, most players will never get the chance to use him... until now. Joaquin Correa is, in fact, the poor man's CR7. For just 96k, a sixth the cost of Ronaldo, Correa offers a near identical toolset to the Portuguese legend.PACE AND SHOOTING: Packing gr...

Wow!

the moment I saw this card, I knew I had to get it. all my attackers have 5 star skill moves, because I do a lot of elasticos. At first I was a bit worried about his balance and finishing, but I gave him a hunter and he is unstoppable. In my first 10 games in the weekend league he scored 16 times. Now I have played 88 games and he has scored 115 goals. I'm a average gold 2/gold 1 player and believe me. ...
