Well, this is my first ever review on FUTBIN, so cut me some slack. I did this SBC as soon as it came out as I knew this card would easily fit into my team, and i needed a maestro/ CAM positioning player for my squad as my current formation was struggling. The squad I have linked is before any changes, and in-game, I go to to 4-2-3-1, with Felix up top and Aspas in CAM. Aspas basically plays as like a slower, worser dribbling Messi. If he gets the ball from the outside of the box, curls it with his left foot and it will usually fly in the top corner. And I personally put a Hunter on him cuz I'm a pace freak, but an Engine chem style would be fantastic on him as a Winger, or even at that CAM position, where he shines the most. OH MAN. Does this card have a sweet pass on it. He can do excellent passing, even without a chem style to boost his passing. He can do it all, long pass, short pass, crossing, you name it. And because of this, it's why I decided to play him as a CAM. Only complaint about this card is that he only has 3 star skills, which can screw you over in certain situation, and same with the 7 balance, but that can be fixed via an engine chem style to boost it up to 86. Excellent card, well worth the price.
- Great finisher
- Great pace, not god tier, but good enough to out pace most players (without chem style)
- BRILLIANT PASSING.
- Good curve
- Great agility
- Can miss the odd shot or two
- Struggles to score from tight areas due to being small and weak
- 79 stamina, starts to become sluggish around the 75th minute for me
My first review, sorry for my English Im not native. First of all, this guy is a MUST if you use LaLiga or Spanish squads. A 83+84 for a 89 rated is a gift. I am an elevator player between div3 and div2, and I also use this guy as a ST with Joao Felix POTM as a CAM, Deulofeu at LW and Robben as RW.
If you see his stats, you will expect something very nice. Well, he is. His PACE (with hunter or even engine) is pretty good, he can do some runs. His SHOOTING is amazing, he won´t miss, his 4*WF seems like 5 actually. His PASSING is also very good, if you play him as a CAM with engine or any quem style that increases his passing is allright, but his base stats are ok. His DRIBBLING, i´m not a dribbler in game, but his 95 agility and 92 dribbling are OP, pretty good to turn around on the box and score. His DEFENDING is ok, he will go to tackle those guys bc his high in Def.WR. His PHYSICAL is BULLSHIT, as simple as that.
This guy is actually a vey fun card to use, but I think Joao Felix POTM is better. If you use him, he will score bangers and make your game more fluid.
Pace – he can make runs.
Shooting- he won´t miss and can his WF seems like a 5*.
Dribbling – nasty Aspas
Passing – way good for a ST, can improve with engine.
Face – he looks way similar to real life.
Price!!!!!
Rating
Physical – he will get bullied.
I was saving up to finally get Griezmann RTTF when a friend pointed out to me that this rather cheap SBC was available. He immediately slid into my team replacing gold Griezmann. He grabbed me a hattrick in his very first match and I just knew he was the man for me. Because he's already pretty fast, all I did was slap a hawk on him (I personally always appreciate a little bit of jumping reach... you know for those moments when you gotta suck in your pride and spam crosses).

Anyway, comparing him directly with Griezmann RTTF would give you a good sense of this card's true value, sure Griezmann can (and would likely) improve, but this card comes at 1/4 the price and is an SBC... so there's the potential to get him for absolutely nothing. Unfortunately his high work rate and 'meh' stamina means he'd likely be spent if you're playing in extra time, so take good advantage of his pace, dribbling and shooting early on.
I was dead sure before getting this card that his average balance and poor strength would be my undoing, but I've been able to squeeze and fumble past most defenders... he probably fumbles past them more than any other attacker I've used in this game (okay, maybe not freeze Gaya...).
Conclusion: If you don't have a fat coin purse, you don't use advanced skill moves and you've got the space for la liga or Spanish forward then I 100% recommend you grab this card! You've got 30 days anyway so no rush.
With Hawk
- Pace is great
- Shooting is awesome, 4 star weak foot extra advantage!
- Dribbling... did you notice the 95 agility
- He's Spanish (easy to fit into teams)
With Hawk
- Stamina is meh, high WR might make it worse (I personally like my strikers fairly lazy)
- Height is meh (depending on how you play though)
