97 - Premium SBC

Suprised by how good he is...

By Troopy12345, 13-06-2020

So this is my first Futbin review and I felt I needed to after trying this card.

I saw the card and thought the stats were slightly underwhelming but in game he becomes totally different. I decided to play him in striker with a hawk in a 4-1-2-1-2 formation as I was looking for a Spanish striker and I couldn't have hoped for more.

I played a few games with my friends and he scored about 2 in each. I then went into FUT Champs and he scored 7 in 8 games. He felt really nice and made good runs. He tends to drop into a false 9 role however with high defensive work rates and I think he would work really well as a CAM if that is what you are looking for. I am currently 6-1 in Champs and I usually get high silver so I am really pleased. 4* 4* is totally fine with finesse shot trait and he feels like Messi with how agile he is. He has 93 stamina so he won't stop running and has good compusure. 90 finishing is great for this card but 61 strength is a bit of a letdown.

Overall he is a great card for his value and I'd totally recommend (P.S If you are doing the 94 what are you doing. Get the 97)

Dribbling is very good - he is agile and has high balance. He feels a lot like Messi
Finishing - His shot power feels really strong and he has scored a couple of longer goals which I didn't expect
Passing - Not surprising for a David Silva End of and Era, he passes really nicely
Pace - He feels fast enough for a hawk and you shouldn't have to fork out more money for a hunter.
Linkability - There are plenty of Spanish or PL players you can link him around at this stage of the game.
Great value for money
High / High workrates if using at CAM

He is not very physical and quite small so struggles to beat more physical players e.g. Varane
His packs are untradeable if you are low on coins unlike Modric's SBC
I haven't used him the whole weekend yet.

El Mago shines again

So after seeing his stats, and deciding to do his SBC, I threw his straight into the deep end that is WL. While his 3* WF might look worrying to some people, I can assure you that his qualities make up for that one flaw. His grace on the pitch, on or off the ball, is quite evident, but he is also a player of many hidden attributes that you might only notice once you actually start using him. I might be a bit biased since I...

THIS IS A MUST DO CARD I can't stress enough how much this card changed my team. He finishes absolutely everything, is always in the right position, and is an absolute difference maker for any team. Don't be scared away by his 3* WF, his ability to maneuver on and off the ball makes it so that he never is in a situation where he has to shoot with his right. I would recommend this card to any...

David Silva: The Wizard

I have been waiting for this card since November when Silva announced that he was leaving Man city. I was initially annoyed that the card did not get released, but now I am glad that EA waited until now so that Silva has received the end game card he deserves.The price of the SBC is around 300-350K. I think the price is fair considering the stage of the game and the fact he does have 3 star weak foot. With...
