Player Review
87 - LaLiga POTM SBC
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!
