74 - Summer Heat SBC

4.5

Good player, weird card!

By futprof, 02-07-2020

Ok so kick things off, what the hell is this whole "lets upgrade his stats but leave the overall rating as it is"? In my opinion this against the whole purpose of ultimate team, but with EA being EA there should be nothing that surprises me anymore.

The important thing: he is usable and the price is fair! In detail: according to the stats he should be fast, have pretty responsive dribbling, should not be easy to push off the ball, have a decent shot which should be perfect if upgraded with the right Chemistry Style. InGame I have to say he is not crazy fast, but fast enough. The dribbling was not too responsive for me, but that could be a thing of the gameplay being what it is (servers screaming in agony). His shooting is clinical, since I used a Deadeye to start with, but what really disappointed me was his physical presence: the guy has 97 strength, but feels like a plastic bag in the wind, how can that be EA!? As mentioned above the gameplay was very poor so I switched to a Marksman to futher improve his dribbling, which made him feel at least a bit more responsive.

The one characteristic that really makes him shine are his runs: I played him as a left CAM and he constantly cuts inside, which is a great trait, since he not only opens up spaces for other players, but also gets in the right position for thos near post strikes, which are the most secure way to score, I guess we all agree on that. You can also use him in 442 as the right mid to get past the defender and cross the ball, he did a decent job there too.

Overall he is good and usable player with nice brazilian links, but at this point in the game there are just too many other options. I recommend doing him, if you need that Bundesliga/Brazil links or are a Bundesliga/Leverkusen fan.
