Player Review
91 - Icon
Before this WL i have made a ballsy decision splashing over 3m, tried him out in all 30 games with a ST partnership with 91 RB Mbappe.
Saying that, he outplayed Mbappe in every single game aspect. His pace isnt as noticable as Mbappes, but his dribbling is INSANE.
He can turn so quickly, I honestly havent experienced anything like it with any "current" players, not even Neymar. The way this guy turns is something else. Due to his 5st WF you will always find that extra space to shoot the ball and let me tell you, 99% of the time it goes top bins.
If I could compare him to any player, the closest would probably be FIFA 20 Ben Yedder 88, but with much better passing, pace and finishing.
Would I pay 3m for him? Absolutely. Should you pay 3m for him? Well, yes and no.
Saying that, if you are on a tight budget, dont just go for 1 player and pray he makes a difference. My striker partnership of him and Mbappe complemented themselves very well, Mbappe, being more pacy, was usually more of a ball carrier and Eusebio my "finisher"
Ive tried a few longshots with him as well, being it well angled finesse shots and although his lack of finesse shot trait is noticable ingame, I managed to finish a couple of these longshots, which given the nature of this game was quite surprising.
To summarize it all, he is all you are looking for when splashing 3.3m for just 1 player. Ive tried Cruyff 91, Pele 95 and now Eusebio. For me personally, Eusebio is just in the middle. Slightly better than Cruyff, but worse than Pele by a landslide, but 2m cheaper of course.
- Amazing pace ( not Mbappe level, but quite enough, easily outpacing Varane and all other meta CB, well apart from Walker, who was a nightmare to pass by Euse )
- LIGHTS OUT DRIBBLING, omg i cant justify how great he feels on the ball, it came to a point, when i was so confident in his dribbling, i wasnt even using skill moves and bridges and just left sticked my way through defenses, pretty easily so.
- 11/10 finishing - FUT 20 Ben Yedder on steroids, almost every shot goes in, if you arent a complete bum in the game
- Great passing for a ST
- He is weak ... With his strenght not being exactly the best and his rather small size makes him quite an easy target for strong players. He was struggling against VVD, Klaiber etc.
- 5* skills would likely make him the 3rd most expensive player in the game after R9 and Gullit
- Price, lets just say he could be a bit cheaper, he isnt really a great value for money, but still 9/10 player regardless
