Player Review
95 - UEL Live SBC
I haven't played Ultimate Team much since TOTSSF was released because let's be honest EA fucked the game this year. However, as a United fan and someone who has a lot of respect for Greenwood, I did the SBC. For fut champs, I typically finish Gold 1 but that was before I got this card. Now, I don't play anymore because I can't be asked to play against either a full you know what La Liga team or a sweaty Ligue 1 attack.
One of the key things about Greenwood is his height, being 6'2" combined with his 91 jumping and 99 heading accuracy means he's going to win a lot of headers upfront. His 5* weak foot is crucial at this stage of the game, I was bit disappointed they didn't upgrade his 3* skill moves to 4* but it is what it is. In front of goal he is very clinical, so far in the 12 games I've played with him he's scored 17 goals and contributed 7 assists. I usually play a 4-2-3-1 formation with him as the central striker, his pace and physicality is a great combination as he's able to beat most defenders in a sprint battle and out strength those he can't outrun.
In terms of chemistry styles that you can use, I would recommend (in order from 1st - 3rd); Hawk, Engine, Basic. At the moment I use him on a Hawk chem style to upgrade in particular, his volleys, aggression and pace because 93 just doesn't do at this stage of the game. If you're fussed about volleys I would recommend Engine to boost his balance from 89 to 99. In terms of negative aspects of this card, there isn't much to talk about. He feels quick on the ball, can shoot from pretty much anywhere and can hold his ground up top.
With Manchester United facing Copenhagen in the Europa League Quarter-Finals, which is to commence soon, I think we will see an upgrade to his card as United do look favourites to progress. I hope that this review helps those considering his SBC as it expires soon and hopefully we see an upgrade to this already insane card.
