90 - Icon

The Brazilian Mad Lad
By Bachir69, 05-01-2021

Hey guys,

So I'm using Garrincha in a 442 as my right ST.

I got to say he's insane.

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.

Lightening speed

Lethal finishing

Sweet passing

Incredible skills

Weak physically

OP Ingame

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 ConsHe'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...

change of mind

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...

Speachless

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 b...
