87 - Libertadores KO Team
5.0
Freddy Hinestroza
By FalcaoIsGoat, 11-03-2020

Let me start off saying I'm an okay player, I play div 4 and normally get 18 or so wins in WL, 20-22 if I have time to play all 30 games. For chemistry, I'm in a 4-5-1 with IF Szczesny GK, FUTmas Murillo LCB, 88 Nesta RCB, 84 Velasco LB, FUTmas Atal RB, Freddy LM, SIF Nainggolan CM, 87 Okocha RM, SIF Papu Gomez LAM, IF Dybala RAM, and SS Marcos Acuna ST. In-game, I switch to a 4-2-3-1 ( Front 4 is Okocha LAM, Gomez CAM, Dybala RAM, and Freddy up top. ) I use sniper chem style for finishing, composure, and dribbling. Let me start off by saying that he feels more like 97-98 pace, but if you look at his stats, thats what it should be. If you take 1 or 2 long touches, there is no catching this guy, but he is a little slow to get to that pace. The thing I may like most about this card is his shooting. His long shots are as good as his stats suggest, (99 SP and 99 LS) but he is incredibly clinical inside of the box as well. He has 99 shot power with 55 curve and you can feel it. He lazers it into the top corner from anywhere at any angle within 22 yards. He is a good dribbler too, 4* skills are a bonus, as well as 99 agility, 99 dribbling, 90 ball control, and 87 balance ( with sniper, of course ). His composure really scared me when I first looked at his card at 71. Sniper brings it up to 76, but that is stilll very bad, but it has felt more like 85 or so in-game. He has missed a few good chances, but with the horrid gameplay this fifa, what striker hasn't? He has good enough passing to get by, it's nothing special, but he will complete almost every pass you expect your #9 to make. His physicality is decent, he has 99 jumping, so he will win a few headers, his stamina is ok, but when I played him in the midfield, I had to sub him out once or twice. My biggest issue with this card is his balance and strength. obviously 87 balance and 79 strength isn't terrible, but he did get muscled off the ball by CBs like Van Dijk or Campbell. He can actually defend pretty well, for a winger anyways, when I played him at LM in a 4-1-2-1-2 wide, where the wingers get back on defense a bit, he did a decent job there, and put in a good tackle or two. Overall, this is a very fun card to use who is super easy to link. there are two good strong links at LB who are under 15k atm, and a hyperlink with Borja which is by far the best hyperlink on fifa for >100k.

  1. Pace, 94 acceloration, 99 sprint speed, and 99 agility, damn.
  2. Dribbling, 4* skills and good allround dribbling stats other than composure.
  3. Short Passing, Good, accurate short passes.
  4. Long Shots, The only player I've used this year that can match Freddy's long shots is Orsic HL card.
  5. Finishing, Good shots in the 18, he rarely misses 1v1s.
  6. Low Driven Shots, Freddys low driven shots are mad, 99 shot power, 87 finishing, and 55 curve, he blasts it into the bottom corner every time.
  7. Jumping, He wins headers pretty well, and has scored 2 of them.
  8. Price, you can get this card and Velasco for 46.5k with the best chem styles for them ( sniper and guardian ) if they were in the premeir league, that pair would cost probably 300k. Freddy has scored 56 goals in 58 matches, with a few rage quits, as well as assisted 7. That is a great return for a 35k card. ( All in Rivals )
  1. Stamina? Playing any of the midfield roles, he gets pretty tired near the end of the match, but at striker, it isn't a problem at all.
  2. Weak Foot, 3* weak foot isn't great, but it has felt fine so far.
  3. Composure, 76 with sniper is not good. It hasn't effected him too much, but he has missed a few 1v1s and had a bad touch every once in a while.
  4. Finesse Shots, 99 power and 55 curve. Freddy is obviously not built for finesses.

Bought this guy to make a theme team around the CONMEBOL players since the cards looked crazy. Slapped the obvious chem style on him (Sniper) to raise his finishing and dribbling stats. I don't even know where to begin with this guy! At first, the 99 pace (although it's 94 acceleration and 99 sprint speed) is what I tried to utilize by getting him behind defenders or beating a defender and going off to the races. THIS IS THE FASTEST GUY I'VE EVER USED IN ANY FIFA! Whether it's acceleration or top sprint speed, no one can keep up with him. That takes us to dribbling, where the 99 agility really shines. In the box, this guy can weave, spin, and close control dribble around just about anyone. Most importantly though, after creating space, the dude is surprisingly clinical given his 87 finishing (72 base + 15 from Sniper). One strange but accepted benefit of this guy for me is his heading ability; I think I've scored about 4 headers with him through 19 games. His 99 jumping is definitely not a lie and he wins most contested headers as well.
