3.5
Don't expect much - WL 16w
By Aimarinho, 18-01-2021

If you are a mid thirties guy like me and wants to remember the old times and have some reminissence and enjoy playing only weekends if your family life allows for that 30 match weekend round, just do it.

If you are a competitive guy whom does NOT play this game like a football simulation and start to juggle the ball at the kick-off, all the way to offence's goal lines by using the bugs OR just a pace-lower boy who likes action games this is not the guy for you. Just use Werner, it will do a lot better (My favorite would be Vardy for pacey teams, more aggression and teamwork)


That pace you see on stats will not be animated in actual game and you will end up screaming that chubby goal machine. You need to bring the ball to him to finish, not to run 30 meters and have enough breathe to score.

Absolute finisher.

Heading master.

Positioning is delicious.

This card is Real Madrid era of Higuain, not Napoli.

Enough speed and reaction time with high sgility and balance

Strength kills balance, you can't hold the ball and pass around while dealing with a defender on your back.

Another player where acceleration is lower than top speed makes it less agile in tight situations.

Surprisingly good (So far)

I saw this Higuain card and immediately wanted to use him alongside Nani, CR7 and Robben in a 4231. He goes in at DT with nani at CAM, CR7 at LAM and Robben at RAM. I can easily say, without a shred of doubt, Higuain is the highlight of this attack. If you go off of his base stats, they exceed expectations, he has the craziest runs to go along with that very respectable pace, and has brilliant ball control when needed. His...

Hidden Greatness

So, this weekend I decided that I wanted to feel pain. My team was a full MLS team bar the keeper as I'm not totally insane, now to be fair this team held its own and I managed Gold 3. So yes I threw Higuain in at the deep end, a real trial by fire. To my surprise, in 29 games he has 50 goals and 8 assists. The best way to describe Higuain is that he doesn't really stand out as a Mbappe would but he constantly finishes and ...

Good if you have the links

When I did this card I expected to get a slow chunky man who turns like a bus, but he plays like a machine very agile and quick, felt just like using Kenny Dalglish. If you have the fodder/coins and the links then this card is a steal.
