95 - Headliners Upgrade
Look, Neymar isn't cheap. We all know even his base card is godly but the real question is whether this card is worth the upgrade and, well, yeah it is. If you have the coins and want to make FIFA as fun as possible buy this card. FIFA is boring now and down in div 3 (where I'm currently floating) people play the worst kind of it, passing around the back and trying to cling onto a 1 goal lead for the last 30 minutes of a game but this card has revived the game for me. Playing him as a wide CAM on the right he is just all kinds of special. I've tried 98 Pele, Both SS and TOTWM Messi, Ikone etc. and none of them felt this kind of special. Neymar is just STUPIDLY good.
Pace: 9/10
I don't really need to say much, he's quick off the ball and dribbles so well he feels the same on it. Not as quick as the likes of TOTY Mbappe but I mean, who I?
Shot: 10/10
Stupid good, chuck a deadeye on him and he's hitting it in from anywhere, left foot or right foot doesn't matter. in both divs and WL he has become a rock in my team, I've sold pretty much everyone but him and Cruyff and I could never replace either of them tbh. Could easily be your ST but he's just so damn delicious as a CAM.
Passing: 10/10
Do I even have to say anything? His first touch passes are some of the most beautiful things ever, comparable to the birth of your first child or the northern lights. Have scored multiple World Cup RVP goals smashing it into the box with Eusebio's head on the other end with this bad boy. Short passing, long passing anything. if you ain't hitting your target you're the one messing up.
Dribbling: 10/10
Would like to say if anyone doesn't agree with this number there are medical facilities that will take you in and scan for any brain damage
Defending: 7/10
Surprisingly good. Comes back heaps for me and gets stuck into players when he loses the ball, quick enough to re-gain anything he loses as a result of me messing up any skill moves.
Physical: 7/10
Weak, we all know this but with his speed and dribbling, I only find him ever getting done in by the likes of VVD, Sol Campbell, Varane and even then he will humiliate them multiple times a game. Stamina is beyond what he needs for the full 90 and he seems far more aggressive than you'd think (for me at least)
This card is GOOD. If I had the money I'd get PIM Ronnie but I doubt i'd prefer him, there's just something about Neymar and how sexy the headliner cards look, if you can guess the CVV on mum's credit card or are a godlike trader than yeah, get him you won't regret it.
5* 5*
Non-sprint dribbling in the box makes him pretty much untouchable
Drills it in from anywhere
Comes back and wins a surprising amount of balls for me
VERY expensive
A massive waste for anyone who doesn't use skill moves
Weak but balance and agility stop him being bullied too much, only really an issue if you're trying to just go past defenders without using skill moves
