96 - TOTS
4.5
Amazing value
By alexgo, 07-06-2020

So, I was looking to buy Di Maria as I had just completed Idrissa Gueye, who by the way, is incredible. I am a gold 3 - Gold 1 player, and currently 17-7. At first, I wanted to get the fb Di Maria because of the 5 star wf, but as I compared the stats, the tots looked far superior. I play a 4-2-3-1 in game with Di Maria at striker. I'm a United fan, so it was a bit bitter playing with him at first, but my god, he did not fail to disappoint.


Shooting:


Obviously, with Di Maria having a 3 star wf, it would seem quite predictable that you are most likely every time to shoot with his left. However, this guy has the outside of the foot trait which was extremely useful meaning that Di Maria was not as predictable. He has an absolute worldie of a left foot and I suggest simply just pressing the O or B button. In terms of his right foot, it was quite reliable and was actually more reliable then when I used teixiera tots with his wf. With finesses from outside the box he is not like Messi but will score them every now and them. I used a sniper so all of his shooting stats were 99, making him extremely clinical, as well as the 98 composure


Dribbling:


Even though Di Maria doesn't really fit the meta in terms of height, this guy moves as if he is Kent or Messi. I simply just use the left button and he is able to glitz his way past players. He turns extremely well and I can't recall having a bad first touch as many other players do. His scoop turn is extremely nice swell. I am not an avid skiller but the boy has 5 star skills. What else could you ask for?!


Pace:


He doesn't have 99 pace but he feels extremely quick and can go by defender unless they have fb militao or tots Varane with a shadow. Then my friend, you are in trouble.


Passing:


Link up play is amazing and he can switch the ball like Paul Scholes in real life. But what do you expect when he has 93 + on every stat under passing. Also his free kicks are very very good.


Defending:


He has decent aggression so he sometimes wins the ball back high up the pitch, but apart from that his defending anywhere else is sub standard. I mean if you are planning to play in defence, then I cannot help you.


Physical: He isn't like tots Mbappe and is stacked, but because he is 5 ft 11 he can shield the ball relatively well and doesn't get thrown to the floor from a shoulder barge by a defender (I have no idea why they added that to the game, makes no sense but oh well)

  • Wicked Left foot
  • Rapid
  • Smooth and responsive dribbling - Not clunky
  • Passing
  • 5 star skills if you're a skiller
  • Only 320K - great value
  • Outside of the foot trait



  • 3 Star WF - Still shows up though
  • Maybe stamina at this stage of the game?
  • No major ones really?

The perfect player

This is my first review of any player ever, but for Di Maria it's totally worth it to write one. My god, where do i have to start?This player, with double 5*, he's phenomenal. Give him the ball and he will dribble past any defender on the game. Even the overpowered flashback Boateng can't handle him. The dribbling of Di Maria is so smooth that it makes it so hard for any defender to catch him. In front of goal...

Wow

I packed this card in the Ligue 1 guaranteed TOTSSF pack and was initially a little disappointed. I stuck him in a team and tried him out regardless, and wow was I proven wrong. I played him as the central CAM in a 4231 and he was incredible. Just for context, I used him for 10 games in division 3 and am a consistent Gold 1 level player in Champs

A Must Have!

I was lucky enough to pack untradable Mbappe and because of that i thought why not do the Di Maria SBC since he will be in my team for a good amount of time because of the link. I went into it with low expectations because of the 2 Star Weak Foot as i am sure most of use looking at this will have reservations about but i can say that when i used him in game ( Fut Champions ) i didnt notice it really at all. He played CAM fo...
