OMG what a card. He is amazing. Mabye one of the best strikers i have tried in this game. i used him in a 442 with him and if mane at striker and they destroyed.

Got him untradeable and used him since in Rivals.

He is an incredible striker, I scored a lot of hat-tricks with him. He has incredible positioning, which allows him to make many runs behind and get into 1-on-1-s. He has great finishing so he always scores them. His composure feels a lot more than it is. He has that chip shot trait, so he can chip the keeper in almost every situation. For some reason his La Croquettas are on a Fifa 19 level. His week foot lets him down a little bit, but it doesn't matter that much in most situations.

Get him for 40k instead of wasting coins on Auba or Mané

This guy is insanely good. His finishing is like Mbappe! I have used him both as a supersub and in my starting eleven. Boiiiss I must say his is incredible. Very fast, amazing acceleration, and his finesse makes you wanna grab some pindas and shit back. For me he was best used as a supersub, for only 50k you have yourself a rocket for the last 30 min of the game. Every one on one goes in with this lad. I would highly recommend to use this card in your squad. Especially in the 90th minute this guy can style on players like VVD.

I was eager to try this Gabriel jesus, as his stats looked really well suited to the meta, and i thought his price was pretty fair, unfortunately, he wasn't that great.

I played him up front in the 4-4-2 formation, and had balanced tactics on him. He often found himself out of position, and therefore didn't get many chances, when he did however get those chances you expect him to make, he either hit the post, or the keeper, i found his finesse shot good, but other than that, he was pretty awful. He didn't score many, or even at all, when i played against opponents who had existing brain cells in the defence. I often subbed him out pre 60-70min, as i just couldn't bare the sight of him, i subbed him off for musonda, and the difference was night and day. Not a top tier player, not completely unusable, but not good if you want to push for elite.

After he didn't get his Futmas card I was waiting for him to get an inform as some sort of recompense and he actually got one!

So firstly I will say, I like this card a lot and he's still in my squad because I don't have anybody better yet. But there are some negatives to the card and they're fairly noticeable.

Pace

Fine, I use a HAWK chem so he's got 91 pace but he still feels a bit slow at times which is a pretty noticeable negative. It's worse because I play him next to POTM Werner who has ridiculous Pace so it's much more noticeable that he isn't as quick. But it's enough to tear away from any 70-75 pace Centre back. Anything more you'll likely be caught.

Shooting

Probably the second best thing about him, so with Hawk it gives him 99 positioning, 92 finishing and 90 shot power. He puts 8 out of 10 chances away no problem, sometimes finishing things Werner can't which is unreal. But then sometimes he'll get through one on one and hit it straight down the keepers throat or finesse it round the keeper and wide. It's frustrating but even more so when you know the card is fully capable of slapping shots past Ter Stegen or Oblak without issue, completely depends on how he feels on the day.

Passing

So for me this was the stat that surprised me the most. I use Jesus as more of a support Striker than a goalscorer because of his HIGH HIGH Work rates and the instructions I play (Werner stay Forward, Jesus come back on defence) and he's actually insanely good in terms of playing a support striker, his vision is fine at 80 combined with 79 short passing, he plays Werner or anybody through without issue with 37 assists in 42 games to prove it. If you're after a support striker he's up there as one of my favourites on FIFA 20.

Dribbling

Far and away his best stat. The 92 agility and 92 balance combined with 88 dribbling is just ridiculous. If you strafe dribble you can take the absolute p*** with this card because he stops the ball and can drag back into a better position to knock the ball on in what feels like a split second. Works well in tight spaces because of this as well and him being small is a big help. If you combine that with his high aggression it makes it even better.

Defending

He's a striker so you don't really defend with him but the 85 aggression with HAWK here is great because he'll chase men down and struggle the ball off them if you lose possession in the final 3rd. That said, definitely wouldn't play him in midfield because he's not strong enough. HIGH HIGH Work rates means he drops back really quickly but you can sometimes find him in no mans land and it can be a problem, doesn't happen often though.

Physical

Okay stat, the 90 jumping helps with the ball sometimes but his height is a problem so if it's a tall defender you're jumping against you've got no chance. Aggression is the best stat but the strength is a massive problem, he gets pushed off the ball more often than not, you just have to hope you break away with pace before they get chance to do that which more often than not is what happens. 85 Stamina is great - Never tired. I do sub him off sometimes but it's not very often, tends to be if he's not doing much for me.

Overall he's a good card, my main positive with the card is that he's about 50-55k. Whilst that doesn't seem like a lot, you can get players that aren't anywhere near as good as this card in terms of ability but they cost 20-30k more. If you've got 50k spare and you need a striker get one because he'll get you goals or at very least contribute if you're after a supporting role.

A big negative for some people will be his work rates, HIGH HIGH and I wont lie - it is a problem, but if you play him to get forward you'll notice it far more than if you play him to come back on defence, in that sense, he's perfect.
