Player Review
94 - Summer Heat SBC
When this Bernardo Silva SBC initially came out, I was in Spain on holiday and I thought 'Oh! A good player to link into my SH Bruno which I love!'. Without hesitation, I completed this SBC, with the appeal of the swift feather-like dribbling to grace my screen as soon as I came back home. 2 days ago, I returned, and I loved him. Having not played in 2 months, this man is carrying my team through the Division Rivals grind. I've gone from the depths of Div 6 to solid Div 5, a division I've barely been in this year; only brief stints which have been met with prompt demotions. I'm thrashing even the sweatiest of drop back rats, thanks to this man. It should be noted some of these appearances were off the bench
I slapped a Hunter on him, without realising that a Hawk gave him the exact same Shot Power boost, so that would've probably been ideal just to boost his strength. He is rapid on the ball, it's euphoric to see how his left stick dribbling seems like his boot is a Pritt stick, that's how insane it is. He's completely changed the way I play, as I now utilise the broken left stick dribbling feature much more than ever before. His shooting is incredible, near post, far post, through the goalkeeper's stomach - I don't remember having missed a shot with him. For someone without the Finesse Shot Trait, his finesses were greatly impressive. He was surprisingly strong (probably helped out by his maxed out Balance), and barely got bodied on the ball. His passing was also excellent, as you'll be able to see by the amount of assists I got with him.
Some of the only faults with his card are that: a) his SBC certainly wasn't excellently priced, whilst just over 200k isn't overkill, it could've been a bit less, or EA could've given him 5* SM/WF. b) I notice his Stamina isn't great, I usually take him off around the 70th minute as he doesn't have the legs to compete with someone else I could just bring off the bench. c) As previously mentioned, 5* SM/WF would've been ideal, but it's EA.
