Garrincha: The Samba Goat

By HetIsMerlijn, 08-06-2020

At first, I was a bit sceptical about using Garrincha as a CAM for my weekend league. I already used his 92 Mid card, which I thought was good, but he wasn’t performing exteamly well at the RAM position. This weekend league I decided to use his PIM, because the stats on the card can’t lie. And boy they do not lie. His pace is so amazingly good, he easily went past defenders. His passing was really good as well. Garrincha’s shooting was sometimes off, if he shot with his left foot, but his shots are like cannonballs. His dribbling is the best I have used all year long and the high agility lets him turn so quickly that nobody can catch him. The only real con is his strenght, but he has the sticky aspect, where he just doesn’t lose the ball quickly. The High/Med workrate wasn’t a big deal for me in the CAM role, and he made runs that were crucial. Overall Garrincha is a great card, and a must have for everyone’s team!

- Price is maybe a bit high, but it’s an ICON

One of the best

I picked up this garrincha moments card originally to get chemistry for neymar and allan in my squad, with the intention to sell him after getting someone else good untradeable, but he quickly made sure that he would not ever be sold. This garrincha card is just unbelievable, he scores from anywhere in the box, even on his weekfoot, and that scoop turn onto either the left or right foot near post shot is just broken. His dr...
