Hello guys and welcome to another of my reviews, now of POTM João Felix. I chose that tittle because his stats look really similar to Ronaldo, even the 5*skills but he even has better balance. and is half the price. Ronaldo is better but I think that considering price and that you can use untradeable players, I think it is better to João . Of course, it depends on the links and the money you have. It’s quite expensive to get João but of course he wouldn’t have been cheap, because he is an absolute cheat code, and I think it’s a fair price. And as I said you can use untradeable players so I ended paying just like 200k. As always now I will give a rating from 1 to 10 of his stats.
(With Hunter)
Pace 9.8/10
He feels really fast, at least with hunter plus hice nice agility and balance. I had used his IF and for me it didn’t feel so fast, but don’t worry his POTM is an absolute flash
Shooting 9.6/10
He is an absolute banger, He will rarely miss, specially when he is close to the goal, and even at long range he has 89 long shots which isn’t bad at all. He positions well, good shot power. He can also shoot with both feet as he has 4*wf, he doesn’t have 5 but I kinda feels like he does.
Passing 8.5/10
He is also a beast at passing, I use him as a ST, but with engine he could be an amazing CAM with no problem because of his great passes. Maybe he sometimes will fail long passes but at short ones, it’s almost a guarantee he will complete them
Dribbling 9.2/10
Of course he dribbles amazing, his agility and balance make him a fast dribbler, plus that 5* skills which will allow you to destroy a lot of Van Dijk, Varanes and Gomez. It’s really fun to dribble with him too
Phicality 8/10
He isn’t the strongest player, but he is definitely not weak. Won’t be so easy to body him and he may get tired sometimes but for me at Saty forward he doesn’t really tires a lot
5* skills and 4* wf
Godly Pace
He shoots really good and will rarely miss
Amazing passes
Really nice dribbling + balance and agility
Phisicality
Long passes sometimes
So I was lucky enough to sell IF Rashford the day before the Team of the group stage event came out. Don´t get me wrong, Rashford is good. But just for the investment, I sold him, and that led to the next day where I found out that the POTM for La Liga might come. So I was waiting to see which player would come, and from nowhere a Joao Félix card just got released, and yeah the rest is just history of me getting hyped, bla bla bla. I did get the FUT Champions card Joao Félix (84 rated IF Joao Félix, red version) and it was incredibly good. So I had huge expectations about this card. The SBC:s was pretty easy and we'll get to it later in this review if he is worth it or not.
The CHEM style that I think will work the best for this card is HUNTER, I think the pace is all he needs if you want to play him as a ST. If you want to play him as a CAM, I think HUNTER works perfectly fine, but you could try play ENGINE on him to boost his passing and make him even better at dribbling.
His stats are looking beautiful and he's 5* skilled and 4* weak foot, which is incredibly good for a ST, but also for a CAM. I went straight in and started his first game in FUT Champions, against the "original" defence which is Mendy, Varane, Joe Gomez and Kyle walker. Like every person in FIFA 21 have that defence, and I'm not going to lie, it is the best defence to have (excluded icons). I play 4-4-2 and the custom tactics are from Futbin! Just going to mention the offensive part in my team, which is Joao Félix and rulebreaker Iñaki Williams as strikers, Ansu Fati POTM as LM and Recordbreaker Rodrygo as my RM.
Aaaand WOW! I won 4-1 in my first game, and just WOW, he was soooooo good. After 5 games, I came down to one conclusion: He is insane! His pace, his dribbling and his shooting were just unbelievable. I feel like that HUNTER chem style is the KEY because in-game he is rapid and he outran Varane several times which surprised me. He feels so good on the ball and the 5* skills are just making it better, I can just imagine how insanely good he will feel if you boost his dribbling. One thing I noticed was that he was very strong and aggressive, he didn't just fell when someone pushed him, which was very good while I was doing skills and while I was in the box.
PACE: 10/10. With the HUNTER chem style, he is absolutely sick
SHOOTING: 10/10. Oh my GOD, his shooting is absolutely insane. He scores whenever he gets the chance, but the best part is that he can shoot an absolute banger outside the penalty box, with both feet. Can score finesse shots aswell.
PASSING: 8/10. I haven't really tested his passing. His short passings are good and can pass behind the defenders, but I haven't tested if he can do good crosses or long balls. But overall, not passing like very wrong or something
DRIBBLING: 10/10. I am maybe not a 5* skiller but I do skill and do like regular skills when needed and he feels absolutely outstanding while having the ball. It's so funny to play with him because you just trick your opponent really easy because of his movement and agility
PHYSICAL: 9/10. The stats might say it's decent, but I say it's on fire because he doesn't just get pushed off but he pushes back which surprised me! Varane tried to push him away several times, but Joao Félix didn't fall or lose the ball
DEFENCE: 6/10. It's not like I tried Joao Félix as a defender. I just put 6/10 because he does come back to take the ball. You know when your defender got the ball in their penalty area but somehow Mbappe takes the ball really quick from that defender very easily and just scores, that's what Joao Félix does. He is aggressive and somehow takes the ball and scores.
In conclusion, I just want to say that this card is SICK and worth every single coin. The good about this card is his linking aswell, Atletico Madrid has got some nice players in their squad. I obviously link my Félix with La Liga players but the main link is Marcos Llorente IF, which is a very good CM/CDM, highly recommended if you guys are doing Joao Félix. At the moment there is Hector Herrera UCL Live card that seems to be good as a CDM aswell.
I JUST WANT TO END THIS REVIEW BY SAYING THAT YOU GUYS, STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY DURING THESE TIMES, AND CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER. PEACE!

- DRIBBLING AND 5* SKILLS

THERE ARE NO CONS WITH THIS CARD
IT'S JUST FOR THE GUYS THAT DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH COINS TO DO HIM
SO THE ONLY CON IS THE PRICE FOR THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE ENOUGH COINS OR ARE NEW TO THE GAME
Jao felix, a legend i the game. He is one of the best strikers/cam’s in the game. His priece is really fair with some untreadbles he is already under 250k. I did him for less then 100k. I had used his if for 100 games and i realy liked him but he could really feel he missed pace and a bit of dribling, this card has it al. His potm runs by every defender and never misses a chance. With he has 99 finishing and you can feel it. He shoots every thing so clean and hard. His 5 star skils combined with his dribling and shooting make him the perfect striker for me. I think he might almost be as good for ronaldo and that for only 350k! You shoud feel ashamed is you dont compelte him because he wil be a good striker or cam until tots. I hope you wil complete him after this review because he is simply the best striker in the game.
- Dribling like Messi
- shooting like Ronaldo
- passing like De Bruyne
- running like mbappe
- skilling like neymar
- can’t even think of one
So i decided to switch my team up a bit changing out Fati for Felix and i can just say WOW!
I ended up paying around 200k for the sbc and hes worth 450k without a doubt.
I played him on 7 chem with a HUNTER and he scores everything, exept those damn auto-blocks!
Pace 9.9/10
He gets through it all!
And the agilty cant get much better, and the balance feels like 99 even tho it isn't.
Shooting 9.5/10
Amazing shot power and he also likes himself some bs.
Overall just great! Exept his longshots that can be a bit inconsistent.
Passing 8/10
His short passing play is great but his long balls can be very inconsistent.
But overall just great, maybe a boost in passing stats would be nice if you played him as a CAM.
Dribbling 10/10
He gets through everything and has those 5*sm which is always nice.
Agility and balance incredible. Definetly doesn't feel like 91 Agility and 86 balance. Also the compusure feels like a 95 maybe? He misses some chanses but buries the most shots.
Physicality 8.25/10
He has a hard time in 1 on 1's where theres a big defender like VVD or Varane and he gets pushed of the ball, but with that pace and dribbling it doesn't matter really.
He might get a bit tired in the 70th-80th minute but with a quick sub like Ousmane Dembélé it doesn't matter.

Joao Felix was the best player i have used this year. His stats go to show how good the pricing he is. Although he is kinda expensive he is worth every penny.

Defending- Doesn't really matter.
Physical- Is good but gets overshadowed by his pros.
João Félix is a card I've been anticipating ever since he was announced as a player of the month contender. I immediately voted for him and spent every day praying he would win. Let me just say right off the bat that this guy is ridiculously good.
I play 2 different formations, the 442 and the 4231.
In the 442 I have Felix playing as a false 9 striker which allows him to drop into the midfield and use his amazing dribbling and passing. I originally played him as a second striker on get in behind and it felt as if playing him as a striker was holding him back in a sense.
I had him play beside CR7 and he honestly out performed him in about 70% of the games I played which is impressive.
Overall I whole heartedly believe that if you can afford this card 100% get him, you will not regret it at all.
Dribbling - his dribbling is unreal, hes able to hold onto the ball and make defenders look silly with his agile dribbling
Shooting - very rarely does this guy miss a chance, everything from his finesse shots to across body shots is quality.
Passing - His stats really don't do him justice, I found myself playing perfectly placed through balls consistently with this card.
Pace - This guy is rapid and I mean RAPID. he's able to outpace almost every defender, and mixed with his high dribbling stat he's able to keep the ball close even while full sprint
He has no cons, you could maybe argue that his strength is a con but when you come up against varane, gomez, and van dijk every its hard not to notice his strength.
I guess you could say defending but as a CF why would anyone care.
First of, I had the 87 Squad as Untradeable in my team, so he did cost me only around ~100k to complete overall.
And to me, this are the best 100k Coins spent in this game.
Was lacking a good striker/target man/false 9, to go upfront.
Played him in a 4-1-2-1-2 narrow as a ST or CAM:
--------------------- LLoris -------------------
Semedo - Gomez-Kounde - Mendy
--------------------- Kante -------------------
---- Alessandrini ---- Wijnaldum ------
------------------- Dembele -----------------
-------------- Felix -------- Salah ----------
The idea was Dembele came off at halftime or shortly afterwards, and Felix dropped to CAM.
Due to his playstyle I did keep Felix up top more then putting him back into CAM.
I did like him a tiny bit better as ST next to a quick guy who is on get behind. Felix was perfect for the holding striker.
Was in good positions to carry the ball around, and allowed the CAM to be really effective in these matches.
Felix has absolutely made an impact in my squad even on 8 Chem.
He scored whenever he was in position and he was assisting aswell. Easily outperformed Dembele and Salah uptop.
Played him 19 WL matches (17-2) and he scored 19 and assisted another 8.
Really happy with him.
Can only recommend if you want a holding player whos good on the ball and goes along with 5* skills.
Really can save a game or even decide it by himself.
If you are interested in pacey players to go down the line and want a Werner type counterattack player, I wouldnt think he fits this role
I switched his chemstyles around throughout the WL started with Hunter (to little gain for me) and Hawk. But ended up with Marksman, which put him in a perfect position to be used the way I wanted him to be. Great finishing and dribbling combined with this strength just kept him in perfect spot for me.le bit to fine for this kind of play. His strength for me is the holding and playing through with possession.

Defense.
Sometimes out of position (if you want him uptop, Stay Forward is a must, he will drop back to support otherwise)

I did this SBC a yesterday and he´s probably the best player I´ve used so far. To compare him with Rashford: He feels way more agile and I feel like his shooting is definitely better. He scores almost every shot and idk what to say, this card is insane! He scored 24 goals in 8 games for me in Rivals division 4. He reminds me of David Villa Flashback in Fifa 19 and 20. I would definitely recommend him, especially if you did the 25* 83+ pack in swaps like I did. Did him for about 150k so it was definitely worth it.

- Stamina (feels enough for me)
- also Pace (1-2 Pace more would be helpful in some situations)
- no more cons
This dude is insane. I've used a lot of the meta players (Messi, Mbappe, Neymar, base Cantona, and Mane to name a few) and Felix blows them all out of the water. The only one who comes close for me is Cantona, but Felix has outscored him since I added him into the team. His dribbling stats are "only" 89, but they feel like 95+. He has the ball tied to a string and he's so agile, it's almost impossible for defenders to keep up. Consider that Ronaldo and Cantona are both well over a million coins, Felix costs 1/3 of the price and is just as good in my opinion. He can score all kinds of goals, long range finesse, dribbling past defenders, running in behind, and he can even score you some headers because his jumping (physical stats in general) is really good. He's easy enough to link into a team, so I would urge anyone to do this SBC because he could be usable for many months to come
5* 4*, he can score from any angle on either foot. Or create a scoring angle with a simple elastico or RB dribble
Pace, he can get in behind and outrun Gomez, Varane, Kounde etc.
Dribbling is what I've been most impressed with. His dribbling feels cleaner than Messi or Neymar for some reason, maybe something to do with custom animations. But this dude rarely ever gets dispossessed
None for me
This Felix card I did out of nowhere only because he would link well to CR7 and at first I could not use his well. He seemed slow and just not worth upwards of 500k value. I then placed him at the focal point of the team and put prime Hugo next to him up top in a 4312 and he was phenomenal. Out of nowhere, he was beating every player and finishing every chance. He was extremely worth it now that I used him correctly. His pace was as if it was 95 and his finishing was top class. I used him at Cam for a little too and his passing was fine. He will be a staple in every team I use from now on. Cannot think of a con for this card.
