2014 World Cup Flashbacks

By benclay03, 12-10-2020

First off, hopefully you and your family are safe and well during these really challenging times - I wish you all the best :)

Well well well, where to start? A card that, on FIFA, looks pretty dreadful (in terms of a RW with 58 pace... dear me) but if you watched the 2014 WC 2 players stood out - Ochoa of Mexico and James for Colombia. A move to Madrid which overall didn't end up too well, and now here he is at Everton... one if those transfers I looked at and went "Eh?" Anyway, enough of me writing his actual biography, more onto the card.

Overall, you're definitely getting your money's worth - but it remains to be seen if he will still be useful in a few weeks.

Used at CAM for 15 games now in a 4-3-1-2 behind Eden Hazard andd Dominic Calvert-Lewin; here are some pros and cons.

As Chris Eubank would put it - his shooting is 'Stupendous'. Especially with the HUNTER applied, you can press shoot inside the box and know it has a real chance of going in.

Passing is outrageous - so many luvly through balls for DCL to run onto and finish (also an insanely good player).

So agile, and with the HUNTER, he doesn't feel like 68 pace at all. In all fairness, 79 agility feels like a lie due to the 88 dribbling stat.

Finesse a long shot and that bad boy is whipping into the top corner - delightful

89 composure means he literally won't ever let you down, especially this early in the game.

Nice links to the likes of Allan and Calvert-Lewin, for smaller budgets links to Gbamin and Doucoure too.

58 base pace on a winger really disturbs me, if I'm being honest. Definitely noticeable against defenders when in a sprint to get to the ball.

2* weak foot is another bummer, but with short passes it hasn't been an issue. Shots and longer passing is where it becomes a proper 2* weak foot. BUT does have the outside foot shot trait which does definitely come in handy.67 stamina hasn't been awful for me, but won't be so good in a few weeks.

DO THIS SBC NOW! WHAT A PLAYER

I did this SBC in hopes that he would get more informs throughout FIFA to make his card more and more useable however after deciding to stick him in my team and try him out I can tell you hes worth every coin of the 20K SBC price and is 100% ready for FUT CHAMPS! Everything from the passing, shooting and dribbling on this card is perfect matched with his medium/medium workrates it makes...

Really Fun CAM

After playing 24 games with James I decided to write this review.I must say he is one of my favorite cards this year, not because of him being an overpowered meta beast but because he made me love playing FIFA again.He is an amazing CAM, with great passing, great pace, and one hell of a shot on his left foot. With that been said he does have a 3* weak foot that can feel underwhelming at certain angl...

WHAT A PLAYER

Absolute beast of a card would entirely recommend him he doesn't have the best pace but if you let him wait on the edge of the box and pass it in to him he always finishes. i have used ziyech but would rather use this beast he is just way more clinical. outside of the foot shot trait also really helps the 2* wf
