Hey everyone! I know you probably won't want to read thru a whole wall of text, so I'll keep this short and sweet. If you have zero time, just read the Pros and Cons
He's OP! I used the Finisher chem on him - 90 pace is enough for me, and I wanted to boost his shooting and, most importantly, max out his dribbling. Depending on your style of play you can try Hunter or even Deadeye.
He's the kind of player who can dribble the length of the pitch for you, and he's the perfect player for Fast Build Up, Counter Attack FIFA. An easy 10/10.
His passing is more than good enough for RW, LW, LM, LAM, RM, RAM, CAM, CF or ST (basically anywhere lol), can do the odd through ball. I'd give 9/10.
His shooting is where opinion is divided - some people say he is very inconsistent, others say he is amazing. For me at least, he can finish pretty well. He obviously won't score from anywhere like CR7 but it's satisfactory enough for an 9/10.
90 Pace is enough for me, although I know it won't be enough for you. 9/10 for me because he's fast enough to get past anyone, see below.
He is best compared to 96 Sancho, 94 Messi and 91 Ronaldinho (FIFA 20). I haven't used anyone similar to him this year, I think Messi came the closest but he's been unfortunately nerfed in 21.
And to conclude the review, I'm going to talk about something unique to Garrincha. I have never seen someone with the ingame dribbling style of Garrincha. It's amazing. I know some people think his physical is terrible and unusable, but I found that ingame he's really hard to knock off, even by all the meta CBs. You kinda have you use him to know what I mean.
First of all, the Lad has this lightening speed that make every defender look like Bartra against Bale.
He's so efficient in front of the goal he ain't missing anything on the right foot and he's also got a solid left. Even though he "only" has 86 curve he finesses everything top bin even from outside the box.
Now here is the most interesting part. This dude has the Jinga in him. He makes the pitch look like a dance floor. Every defender are at his feet and slide everywhere as I used to to in snow class.
The passing is very good, very well rounded. Special mention for his cross are lethal.
Who cares about defending, it's Garrincha.
Manuel has a good stamina and can be played for 120min, BUT he's weak as Valbuena so try to avoid contact with big guys like Virgil or Sergio.
I packed Garrincha with my first base icon pack. Great player in the first games but after a while the player that costs 1.6 mil did not do his job like he used to. I played him with the chemastrystile hawk. it seemed logical to me because i wanted to give him some extra strenght. Now i know i should just have givven him a hunter card and it would be fine! Didn't i know it would make such a diffirence! It was like the world turned upside down. With the hunter card garrincha was reborn and i was happy again because i could use my 1.6 mil player again.
I play a lot of frienlies so don't mind the games that ive played with him. If i calculate is all, it would be around 300 games.
Pace - He is very fast. Put a Hunter card on him and he is gone. I played him at striker and he just outran everyone.
Att positioning - He is always ready to go. I like to send my players forward and just pass the ball past the defenders. He knows where he needs to stand to pass to.
Passing - His passes are amazing. I like a striker that can also pass, so he fits perfectly for me. He has a lot of vision and you notice that. The crosses are great, the long passes are good and the short passes are amazing.
Dribbling - Of all his statts, his dribbling is the best. I'm not a very good skiller, so his 5 starr skillmoves are a bit wasted on me but even without skillmoves can he provide you with amazing dribbling skills. Left stick only and he's amazing
Shooting - He plays with hunter in my team. After everyone said that he would be SO good ad finishing everything you might expect to much. He does not finish everything and he does not have much shot power either. If youre a long range shooter, Garrincha might not be the player for you. With his 78 Long shots he doesnt come close with my Kulusevski (94) and Bergwijn (91). I like my longshots but he is just not the one to do those with.
Workrate - His workrate is medium/low, this isn't something that makes such a diffirence for me but it is a minor point.
Strenght - With his 64 strenght you shouldn't go up against any strong defender. And with stron i mean any defender with 80 or more physical.
Garrincha is simply insane. I was very fortunate to pick him up during the first icon swaps from the baby icon pack and my team has never been the same. Garrincha has that "something" that rivals the meta players of the game like Ney, Mbappe, etc,. His dribbling is immaculate. I dribble a lot & skill and I couldn't ask for a more complete attacker. Shooting he is very good but does take a learning curve if you are not use to attackers like Mbappe, Messi, etc. Strength... hes a short winger... dont expect much, but with how insane his dribbling is, he has that "sticky" and if you're a dribbler/skiller, you'll have no problem getting around defenders and taking ankles. He can play any position in the attack. Personally I love him at CAM as I often play a 4231, 4312, 451, 532, or 352 variant (all are very attacking see the team i use - linked), but ive used him at ST, CF, LW, RW, RM, & LM. He's honestly just so much fun to use. Div. Rivals rank: Div 3-4. WL: Who actually sweats WL? I stop every week in gold 2-3, cant be bothered to finish 30 games tbh.
Overall I would give baby Garrincha a9/10. He looses half a point for me because of some of the sitters he misses and some finesses that I normally score, and another for how expensive he is, granted it is warranted as he is a game-changing player. He has that ability to take over a game, whether pulling the strings or finishing opportunities.
* Shooting: 9/10 - he does take a learning curve to adapt to his shooting style, but he shoots much like Ney & Mbappe, more towards the latter, but thats in relation to standard shots. Finesse wise is where I have found him to be less consistent. Don't get me wrong, his finesse is very good and if hit right, he can bend it like Messi at those WIDE angles, but its not consistent enough to warrant a higher rating considering the cost of the card.
* Dribbling: 10/10
*Pace: 9/10 - although he is insanely agile and fast as a whole, he does not have the same speed as Ney or the likes of Mbappe, but its not far off by any means. I have even chased down Mbappe, Ney, CR7, etc,. with him and at the very least he can keep up with those attackers. His explosiveness is what is the most eye catching. His acceleration is insane. Honestly even after playing just over 300 games with him, his acceleration still surprises me in certain instances.
*,
* Strength: 8.5/10 - Although he is weak physically, his dribbling and that "something" allows him to glide around & past defenders like varane, VVD, TOTY Ramos, etc.
* Cost. Yes he is 1M now, when i got him he was 1.6Mish. I wouldnt pay 1.6M for him just because I could do so much with that to build my overall team, but he shines like Ney on a team.
I packed Garrincha out of the base icon swaps pack a couple a months ago. I've played him as striker ever since and he's been absolutely amazing. Garrincha's stats tell a story that isn't true, he plays much better than his stats seem to show, his shot is very precise and powerful, his passing is quite good and skilling with him is a dream. overall an insane and very fun player.
