Player Review

90 - FUT Birthday

4.5

Laca the GOAT

By gxxtxm17, 16-07-2020

My boy Laca, what a goated card. Always have wanted him since the FUT Birthday promo came out as I'm an arsenal fan, and right now this guys performing well in real life (Goals against Wolves, Tottenham, Liverpool, big game player). And he does the same in FIFA. This card is still meta even after all the TOTS and SH cards, so that tells you something.

For most of my early games he played ST in 4-2-3-1 formation, but now I play him either alongside FUTB Mbappe in 4-1-2-1-2 narrow formation (check my review out of him too :D) or as LAM in a 4-2-3-1 formation, and he excels at both those positions. For the current meta, you need a Hunter on him but if you don't mind, a Hawk or Engine suits him well too. Here's what I thought of him.

Overall, a very very good card, if you're an Arsenal fan or are looking for a relatively cheap PL ST and don't have the fund for Aguero, Auba, this goat is the one for you.

Pace - Can't lie sometimes he does not feel like the 98 pace it says when he has a Hunter on him. Regardless, outpaces most right-backs and centre-backs with relative ease. Meta height too.

Shooting - Wow wow wow what can I say. My boy Laca loves those finesses and outside foot shots. Even when he doesn't have the finesse trait this guy can curl one in top bins. He can finish from almost any angle with the 5*WF. That's the only reason why he's still meta. 4*WF and his price is only 50k. Top class finishing from the goat.

Dribbling - Surprisingly good base stats. Good agility and balance combination, and 90 for all the rest. Quite satisfying to look at actually. His dribbling is underrated. 4*SM means he can buss a roulette or a cheeky flip flap if he wants. Always nice to have. Sometimes he does a Lacazette and misses an easy chance. But that's FIFA, not him.

Passing - Decent at best. If you're playing him at central CAM please use engine. He needs a boost. 88 Short Passing however means he can do those 1-2s with Mbappe which split the defence. You do love to see that. Don't switch up the play as 9 times out of 10 this guy will miss the target.

Physicality - Stamina is not sufficient for a whole game unfortunately. Probably the only downside. It doesn't help that he also has H/H workrates. Put him on Stay Forward and he can last a whole game. I don't as if I put my LAM at stay forward it ruins the shape of my team. Strength and aggro are also semi-decent, not the best. Don't expect him to body Varanes and Miltaos.

Defending - He's a ST, don't defend. However if the other team is on a counter you can guarantee this guys zooming to get the ball. If you are trying to clutch gold 3, this guys high defensive workrate is a blessing in disguise. Many times he has chased down the attacker from my corner to stop a counter-attack. Sure, it takes a lot of stamina, but if you have a sub ready (which you should probably do as its July) then it should be a good thing.

Pace doesn't feel like 98, but still fast, don't let that put you off.
Most passing stats (with Hunter, with Engine I would expect better of him)
Stamina and his workrates are a bad combo to his longevity in-game
Price (???, this is for those mandem who have just started). Otherwise he's really accessible.

Best CAM in The prem

Wow so I got this card in a two-player pack and I wasn't happy I got him. This was due to the previous FIFA's where I couldn't use him he was dreadful and I had never got onto his hype. But with this year I said he is a walkout looks decent as a CAM since I had been using rashford and was loving it. So I try him out and for the first 3 games I was honestly ready to discard him but I kept trying and by the 5th game he had fi...
