Doggles, the cheaper, better version of Neymar

By bfmolenaar, 07-02-2021

I have always been a big fan of Douglas Costa (or as I call him, Doggles), as a real life player as well as in FIFA. When he got his FUT Birthday card in FIFA 19 and I started using him, I knew he was one of my favourite players. Then his Rulebreaker came out and I knew I had to buy and use him. His downgrade in pace was a bit dissapointing, but it wouldn't stop me. I slapped a Hunter chem style on him and I started using this card in CAM, as 5* skills are required to create space and he could use his shooting to score goals when needed. His passing might seem a bit low for a CAM and he occasionally does misplace passes, but the majority of the time it doesn't affect his ability to create chances for others. . As he is the CAM in my formation he is the centre of the attack and is always involved. He is especially efficient against defensive teams because of his smooth dribbling combined with his 5* skill moves, which allow him to humiliate defenders and leave them behind crying. You needn't worry about his 3* WF, as this card allows you to switch to his strong foot using the skills. If you do find yourself in a situation where you have to use his WF you won't be dissapointed as he has scored plenty of goals with his right foot. The only big issue that you will find in this card is his stamina. Unfortunately, you have to sub him off around the 75th minute as he will be exhausted. But still, you have 75 minutes of fun with him. The combination of his dribbling and his pace in addition to his upgraded shooting make this card boost your attack and allows for the use of fast attacks and quick combinations There is also a small extra this card brings. EA allowed this card to be the biggest kick off glitch card you can find. I can recall multiple times when Doggles saved my WL by clutching big games from kick off. I highly recommend using him and linking him is no issue. Enough good Bayern cards to find.

Sidenote: In the formation I play (4231) my CAM functions as a second striker in addition to being a playmaker. Explains the higher amount of goals compared to the assists.

Great pace

Incredible upgraded shooting

Insane dribbling (combined with the glitchy gameplay)

Great linking options (Brazil, Bayern Munich)

Cheaper (and better) than Neymar

Very fun and original card to use

Don't forget the kick off glitch!

Stamina

3* WF (for some people)

Passing is not amazing for a CAM, compared to other great cards for CAM.

Douglas Costa

For god's sake is this guy ...

... insanely good!I usually don't write reviews but since you guys have to go through the comments, I thought I give this card credit and write a review. I've been using him in for WL matches, replacing Sané. I kept him because I just wanted to try him out; I had him in Fifa 19 and he was great back then so I gave it a shot, I also had the coins to spare. And guys ... I didn't even think of Sané in any second, heck...

Douglas Costa

The Kyrie Irving of Fifa

For Contextual Reasons, I am a Div 1 player with 2200 skill rating. When trying to put into words what this player is like, I immediately thought of Kyrie Irving - A dribble god. For non skillers he’ll perform like your run of the mill pacey winger, but for anyone who even likes to merely dabble in skill, Costa will unlock a different dimension to your game. His body type along with his dribbling stats and flair le...

Douglas Costa

The best forward in the bundesliga. (EASILY)

Originally i wasn't going to do him but as soon as i saw his stats with his price i knew i had to do him. And he is exactly what he looks like on paper. Put a marksman on this guy and he is just MAD. I gave him a 9.7/10 because I cannot make clear how godly this card is, but just on the base card he already has crazy pace, dribbling, passing, even shooting (for douglas costa) is amazing. Give a bunch of them upgrades and th...
