Player Review
87 - Headliners Upgrade
You could say this guy this guy is a veteran in my Sevilla team having played 3 full Weekend Leagues with this particular card. Before that I have used his TOTGS and normal gold card quite a lot too. This made me want to write this review. His gold card is good, and his TOTGS has a noticeable upgrade over it. But this Headliners card doesn't feel any better or worse than the TOTGS, but the price difference is massive.
Ofcourse I know that at the time of writing he could earn an +1 upgrade. But as I didn't feel any difference between 85 and 86, 87 wouldn't probably make a big difference either. The 'Meta' defender Varane is just as good, if not better than this 86 Headliners card. The main difference between the two is that Diego Carlos is noticeable more aggressive than Varane which suits my playstyle very well. Diego Carlos isn't short but Varane has those long legs which he greedily makes advantage off, something Carlos lacks.
Overall is this card very good for the high-defensive-line defender. Strong in the air and can track basically any attacker agility and pace wise if you hand him the shadow chemistry style. But the same goes for his TOTGS. Solely looking at the card: Great, I would recommend. Taking price and his former card in consideration: Take the TOTGS or Varane instead if you're looking for the same quality but at a less price than the 500K he is worth at the moment of writing.
Can track any attacker
Aggressive defender
Aerial threat
Overpriced (IMO)
