89 - Flashback SBC
5.0
Quick review
By MarekP, 18-01-2020

Soo, where to start. I never wrote any review but many of them were useful for me so I also wanted to be useful for the community. First of all - my background, lvl, and team - Idk if I am the only one, but I don't buy packs and I like EA, in my opinion, they created something amazing and yes, nothing is perfect, but this game is giving me so much joy and i think its getting better every year. That`s also another reason why I'm writing the review - because I was trying to find some constructive discussion in the chat but most of the comments are useful (i wanted to add some more comments about it but at the end of the day I am happy that I just have no need to get attention in that way as these people with RIP and better than comments do/spam).

And back to my lvl - I wanted to say that I don't buy pack and I'm trying to play with what I have. Ofc iam competitive but i just dont wanna spend even if i have some decent income and though my team is average as well as my results. I usually finish between 17-19 wins in WL. I play with half Bundess and half Serie A team 442/4222 - Werner 87, Reus 88/Gnabry 86, Kimmich 87 CDM, Sule and Pisczek SBC on the right and left side Dybala 89, Nainggolan 86, (little cheap Messi) Alejandro 87 (before completing Sanchez) and Kolarov 86 with Chiellini. So my game style is fast attackers but with enough technique and being able to dribble or pass decently, depending on the opponent (this is why I mixed Dybala and Werner together with fast but also skilled wingers/cams).


Back to little Messi=Alejandro that I really loved. But still, my left side was not perfect, I tried Laxalt, Insigne and it wasn't it. I was waiting for some decent LW from Serie A to come off from TOTW or whatever and now I saw Sanchez - for 150k - I didn't wait for a single minute after checking all the stats (and selling some players as im poor :D)


And the result? Omg! Its double time better than Messi (so like 10 times than Alejandro). I am not that kind of player that will write 5 games 20 goals and 10 assists, in fact, he scored 3 goals in 3 matches but the performance was outstanding. Playing against Van Dijk was quite challenging but still, his acceleration together with amazing dribbling and in decent strength makes Alexis something else. I would very realistically say Ronaldo and Messi combined only a little bit smaller.


So my advice - if you play Serie A, its a MUST, because there is basically no LW available and this player is just another level. I can't say he`s better than /add any legend 2M plus/ but I think i am experienced enough to express that satisfaction that I am feeling.


Sorry for the length but I hope it will help, as I am also sometimes thinking for a long time about how to spend my coins in order to have more fun and get better results in WL.


Cheers.


Marek

OH MY FRICKIN GOD!!
By Tedys553, 17-01-2020

If you think about doing him, dont wait any other second, for 150k this guy is a steal and a half! I was actually quite hyped for headliners, but only later would i realize that this guy would be the thing i would go for right away, and it worked out perfectly! I would say that the main reason he is this good is the fact that he is a typical fifa 20 meta player-->small,agile,fast.

PACE:9/10

He is very fast, not as fast as 99 pace Adama Traoré, but he is capable of outpacing pretty much everyone, including the likes of that rttf Militao or Varane.

SHOOTING: 10/10

One word, WOW, this guy shoots like a M4A16, every single shot hits the target, finesse driven normal it doesnt matter, literally everything goes in.

PASSING: 8/10

Its definetly not his best stat, but lets be honest, he doesnt really need it, i play him as a striker in 41212(2) with baby Henry up top and he succesfully manages one-twos, as that is the only type of pass he does atleast for me.

DRIBBLING:10/10

I dont think that there is much to say, small, agile, fast, that means extremely good dribbling.

DEFENDING:---

He doesnt really need rating on his defending since he doesnt really defend :D.

PHYSICALITY:7/10

This the only part of him that isnt as good. His stamina is only 81 and that was quite a problem for me at first, but every other thing on this card outshines it perfectly.

El Niño Maravilla made me sell Neymar
By AceDevitt, 20-01-2020

Short view to this FBSBC.


Thought about selling Neymar, since i do not feel like i would fit my playstyle anymore. Changed back from 4-3-3 (4) to 4-3-2-1. Forwards Sanchez-Owen-Garrincha.


He feels very fast ingame, with nice dribbling skills and doesn't get pushed away easily. Liked that the most.

Shot is amazing, always a rocket. With his positioning you will have lots of fun burning down the opponents net.


What i don't like - even if i didn't noticed yet ingame - is his 3 Star Weak Foot. But honestly - if the game wants you to lose, you lose. No matter if 2 or 20 Star Weak Foot..

Maybe Stamina, but i never felt like he ran out of it. Be careful where you want to play with him

Underwhelming
By aidangriggs, 28-01-2020

He's nothing special. He'll get the job done and everything about him is decent, but he won't win you the game on his own. Not worth the price tag on the SBC

-Great strength

-Difficult to muscle off the ball

-Sledgehammer of a right foot, even if shots often went off target.

-Piss poor left foot

-For some strange reason feels a little sluggish, it might be because I've been used to Scream Insigne, Politano Milestone, and Mertens TOTGS, but his dribbling in-game does not match his stats.

-Nothing special about the card: Mediocre pace, finishing, passing

-High/High workrates.
