93 - Player Moments SBC
4.0
Spurs Savior
By Thekylaye, 31-05-2020

Where to start guys... I am a huge Spurs fan. I remember watching the Spurs vs. Ajax game live, I was sold on the fact that we were going out. We all know the story, Lucas essentially inhales Messi in Kirby-like fashion, spits him out and goes on a rampage, banging in 3 goals with his left to save the game and send us into the CL final where we would end up playing abysmally to a fantastic Liverpool side. I knew this card would eventually come ever since player moments became a thing, and although it is odd that it came during the Ligue 1 TOTS, i was happy nonetheless. I personally thought he was reasonably priced considering he is the most meta of meta with great links, so i immediatley threw all my fodder into this SBC. Probably spent like 500k out of pocket, and was excited to use him, his stats are essentially a better SS Ben Yedder. The 5* WF was totally deserved, and I wouldn't have done the card without that upgrade. I played him on the basic chemstyle, since it maxes the pace, gets the shot power up, boosts the passing, dribbling, and is essentially a great look for this card. Before the SBC came out I was running 98 Pele at ST (who isnt used enough btw, because he is fantastic) and 1POTM Messi at CAM. I shifted Lucas to ST, moved Pele to CAM, and pushed Messi out wide, and so far I have played 10 games. For reference I am an elite player, and I went into these games PRAYING Lucas would live up to his stats. After using him, I have mixed feelings about him...

Lucas is fast, his pace is no joke with 99s across the board. His acceleration was fantastic, and his short little legs moved so quickly. Some players that have decent pace take longer strides, but the short guys always feel faster. The dribbling was pretty responsive, I must say I expected a tad better, but it was still good. I use TOTS Mane on the left, and his dribbling, especially just with the left stick, felt a level above Lucas. His cut in fake shots are quality, I do the fake shot + la croqueta quite alot and it works pretty well. Not to mention the dragbacks... If you abuse dragbacks, especially in the box to get a shooting opportunity, this is your guy for sure. The defender thinks youre lining up a shot on his right? Hit em with the dragback and take it on the left. His passing was quality, had no complaints about it, and his physicals were surprisingly better than expected. And of course, the 5* WF felt quality, there is no doubt he got a genuine upgrade in this department.

This is where I faced a sad reality. I genuinely believe they forgot to upgrade the shooting on this card and just faked the numbers on it. It does NOT feel like 96 finishing, more like 80. his finesse shots are not reliable whatsoever, and he does not have any good shooting traits to save this aspect of his game. The only types of shot I felt comfortable doing with him were near post shots inside the box. I do not recommend playing him at ST, he missed quite a bit for me. He of course scored some, but it was pretty hit or miss, on either foot. I had to move him out wide and place Pele back at ST, since his shot is just lights out. So take this into consideration before you do the card. Maybe it was the terrible gameplay (which lets face it, occurs in over 50% of FUT games), but yea.

Lucas Moura -- Is he worth it?

So, first I'd like to say that the star ratings are completely disregarded here as I do not find them an acceptable way to gauge a player's value. To those who simply looked at the lackluster star rating, felt dis-encouraged by it, and promptly left--I'm sorry. Also, this will not be short, as I have not nailed brevity well. If you feel like you should not invest a ton of time in reading a Futbin review, I completely unders...

Lucas Moura - the fastest hare

Hi mates, for this weekend league I used Lucas Moura shape-shifter 87 as a center forward in the 4-4-2 with Ben Yedder and I had a great time. In the first games many opponents did not know that he was left-handed in this version and therefore was deadly with his left foot. But later on, despite the difficulty of the matches, he alway...

checks all the meta boxes

Packed him in my starter packs and plugged him in as a ST in 4321 and CCAM in 4231. Very quick on the ball, agile in tight spaces and making cuts with outstanding runs. He's been very good on the counter getting behind defenders and the 4* skills are especially important this year with manual defending. He's a good finisher for this stage in the game. I bought Jesus (always a favorite) but thought he was disappointing compa...
