Player Review
84 - Headliners Obj
I'll start this off by saying I'm a Gold 1 player and I have played Cunha at both striker and right CAM in a 4-2-3-1. I, like most others, saw this card and thought it would be great value. 4* 4*, decent pace and shot on paper; EA you did good. He is a paper tiger though, looks great on the surface but is disappointing in game. Like what appears to be a beautiful woman who takes off her makeup to reveal herself as a gargoyle. Back to the review though.
He's a better striker than he is a CAM but I don't understand how you guys are playing him, or who you're playing against where you relate him to a 2nd rate Neymar. You've never played with Neymar if you think he's a second rate Neymar. Neymar is a Ferrari and Cunha is Hyandai. He'll get the job done but its not going to be pretty or feel good. Like come on, he's just another guy. Everything he does is okay, and the card leaves so much to be desired at this point in the game. He feels clunky, dribbling is alright, shot is decent, passing is average, and physical is average. If you need a guy to disappear in space while the rest of your attackers put in work he is your guy. He is so shockingly average at everything he turns into Casper the friendly ghost in game because you start to avoid giving him the ball. The only redeeming quality of the card is that it has the potential to get upgraded so he has more value as SBC fodder. But even with a double upgrade he doesn't have the potential to be "an absolute beast of a player" like buddy above says. EA duped me into thinking this player might be usable but it is what it is.
TLDR: Other reviewers are smoking some strong stuff or playing the AI on beginner. He's nothing special. Card on the surface looks solid but is a forgettable player. Will be SBC fodder. If you didn't do the challenges to get him, you aren't missing out on anything.
- 4 star WF and Skills
- Card looks cool
- Hertha won't win 4 straight
- He wont get an IF
- Waste of time doing the challenges if you actually planned on using him
- Time is money and he is a waste of time
