Nakata, Japanese Beckham

By Tilimo, 14-01-2021

So Nakata, David Beckham from Asian. Let's be honest he is maybe one of the most underrated Icons in this game. Last year he wasn't that special, but this year is a whole new story. He feels very agile on the ball, has some great passing ability in his legs. And you wouldn't believe it, he could even score some bangers. He really feels like a ninja, if he is behind you "chop" you don't have the ball anymore, It is just amazing. The feeling that you get if you score a goal with a player with 77 finishing and a price tag of around 400K, that is just indescribable. But let's face it, yeah this card isn't near perfect, of course, he doesn't score from inside the box, he scores also from outside the box! what did you think I was going to say? That his 77 finishing is a problem, nope no problem at al. This guy is just perfect for the price tag it has. But oke, now I have told you how amazing this ninja is, let's introduce how I think you should play with him. I play him in the striker position with POTM Felix. I gave him an engine as a chemistry style. why, because I think it is unnecessary to boost his shooting. (with an engine you make him better in every aspect he needs.) If you have the ball with him you can dribble a little bit, but not to much keep it simple. You can pass with him from any position, no problem. (360 passes sometimes works, but not all the time.) With his shooting, there is one thing you need to know, keep it simple. You just need to look for the right angle and shoot always with a finesse shot. (Works every time for me, maybe because of the engine.)

~just have fun with him and remember never have high expectations of him~

passing (Long passing could sometimes be better.)
Shooting inside and outside the box. (outside of course better than inside, but trust me he does score a lot of goals inside the box if you use finesse shot.)
defending (for an attacker he has decent/good defensive stats.)
dribbling (I really loved his dribbling, sometimes his first touch could be better.)

physically (it is not a big con, but it could be of course better. but sometimes he wins a battle between Varane and him.)
Links = Japan isn't the greatest nation.
he is good at everything, but he isn't exceptional in a specific category.

Superb CAM

I used Hide last year and fell in love with his cards, so I decided to by him again this year and has failed to disappoint. I can tell you for 250k, this card is an absolute bargain, he is easily the most underrated icon on the game, if you pack him, try him out he's immense

Underrated Asian

Alright I'm going to keep this simple. If you packed this card in an Icon SBC then this card is automatically a huge L. However, if you bought him like I did just to say fuck it and have some fun then he is very good value. I pair him with Neymar and they are amazing together. Sure he lacks many things but he is a very solid CAM and is surprisingly a very agile player. His shooting sometimes lets me down b...

Nakata - The Best CM

Since i've played Nakata last year because of Nakajima League SBC and got Elite 1 with that Squad, i wanted to test him this year again. He is outstanding. Unbelievable Center Midfielder. I played Bruno and Sanches both and i can tell you that Nakata is better than both of them. His Card is broken, believe me or not. He anticipates nearly everything and he feels very smooth. His passing is very good but what mak...
