87 - FUT Future Stars

Cucurella, the chemistry opener (86 VERSION)

By superpantz, 18-02-2021

Hi everyone, im new to writing comments and reviews so idk what im doing. I have played 24 games with his 86 now, and felt the need to write a review in anticipation of his 87. This is a review for his 86, but it will most likely apply to his upgraded version, so im writing it now to get out to people so they have time if they are contemplating it.

First of all, i have a mixed laliga - Bundes team with Robben and Klaiber chucked in, and i play him 8 chem CDM with Makelele, mainly to try out both Reinier and mystery sbc TOTGS Haaland. cucu on the ball feels very solid, his passing is great and i like the size of him combined with amazing balance, reaction and ball control. He's got a shadow so the pace is nice, and the defense is ok. I use him to manually intercept passes because of his great reactions and speed. Now, is he better than my Kessie, or my mid makelele ? No. But what i like about this card is that i now have the opportunity to play the rest of the field offensive. For example for this team, i have Reinier, Bebou, Haaland and Robben with Mid makelele as the only defensive midfielder. This wouldnt have been possible for my playstyle if i Cucurella wasnt around to play CDM from a LM starting position.

His ball retention is good, and his size and balance make it so that even if you lose the ball - he's not going to be knocked away and if the oppostion isnt controlling the ball he just took he takes it right back.

You also get some SBC fodder along the way. If you have the time, or the will to play his 86 in rivals, this may well go smoothly for you if you hate Squad battles like me. I've so far got 24 games, and 13 assists. 21 games and 10 assists are from Rivals, div 3, from a cdm position in 4-2-3-1. I have played 3 SBC to do the crossed assist challenge + goal. Mind you, again, this was the 86 version - so im expecting more of the good stuff with an upgraded weak foot and all around better stats.

All around card
Dribbling
Nice shot if you line it up

Weak
Small, but this i feel is a preference thing. I dont mind it as it makes agile.
Finesse is garbage
Because of his work rates you need to be careful how youve instructed him to move in attack but this depends on positioning, as if he's left on balance the high work rate will drag him out of the cdm position at times.

Worth the Grind?

Let me preface this by saying I have no life. I don't need to be railed with insults saying I have no life now. I acknowledged it, alright? The objective was super easy; squad battles is super easy. I just put the footy on while it was happening, and when it wasn't I watched some basketball and Paul Hollywood's City Bakes (cr...

Cheeky little cucu

The big question, is he worth the grind? Tbh i gotta say yes. The card took me about 2 hours with a break in squad battles and he wasnt hard to get it just took a while. I like the card alot he is really nimble and agile and has great shooting. in game i play him cm and hes brilliant. creates chances, makes plays. He also has great attacking ai, he knows where to go and when.

Not the best, but still very useable

Ok, whilst i am not the greatest fifa player ever (div 5 or 6) I tend to be good at writing reviews on players. I am aware that this CM Cucurella is not the best version, but i feel like i should write a review to satisfy people looking for information on the card. Whilst the objective only came out about 18 hours before writing this review, i've had a good opportunity to use him. He is very good as a box to box player as h...
