90 - Icon

Speachless

Garrincha is simply insane. I was very fortunate to pick him up during the first icon swaps from the baby icon pack and my team has never been the same. Garrincha has that "something" that rivals the meta players of the game like Ney, Mbappe, etc,. His dribbling is immaculate. I dribble a lot & skill and I couldn't ask for a more complete attacker. Shooting he is very good but does take a learning curve if you are not use to attackers like Mbappe, Messi, etc. Strength... hes a short winger... dont expect much, but with how insane his dribbling is, he has that "sticky" and if you're a dribbler/skiller, you'll have no problem getting around defenders and taking ankles. He can play any position in the attack. Personally I love him at CAM as I often play a 4231, 4312, 451, 532, or 352 variant (all are very attacking see the team i use - linked), but ive used him at ST, CF, LW, RW, RM, & LM. He's honestly just so much fun to use. Div. Rivals rank: Div 3-4. WL: Who actually sweats WL? I stop every week in gold 2-3, cant be bothered to finish 30 games tbh.

Overall I would give baby Garrincha a 9/10. He looses half a point for me because of some of the sitters he misses and some finesses that I normally score, and another for how expensive he is, granted it is warranted as he is a game-changing player. He has that ability to take over a game, whether pulling the strings or finishing opportunities.

* Shooting: 9/10 - he does take a learning curve to adapt to his shooting style, but he shoots much like Ney & Mbappe, more towards the latter, but thats in relation to standard shots. Finesse wise is where I have found him to be less consistent. Don't get me wrong, his finesse is very good and if hit right, he can bend it like Messi at those WIDE angles, but its not consistent enough to warrant a higher rating considering the cost of the card.

* Dribbling: 10/10

*Pace: 9/10 - although he is insanely agile and fast as a whole, he does not have the same speed as Ney or the likes of Mbappe, but its not far off by any means. I have even chased down Mbappe, Ney, CR7, etc,. with him and at the very least he can keep up with those attackers. His explosiveness is what is the most eye catching. His acceleration is insane. Honestly even after playing just over 300 games with him, his acceleration still surprises me in certain instances.

* Strength: 8.5/10 - Although he is weak physically, his dribbling and that "something" allows him to glide around & past defenders like varane, VVD, TOTY Ramos, etc.

* Cost. Yes he is 1M now, when i got him he was 1.6Mish. I wouldnt pay 1.6M for him just because I could do so much with that to build my overall team, but he shines like Ney on a team.

OP Ingame

Hey everyone! I know you probably won't want to read thru a whole wall of text, so I'll keep this short and sweet. If you have zero time, just read the Pros and ConsHe's OP! I used the Finisher chem on him - 90 pace is enough for me, and I wanted to boost his shooting and, most importantly, max out his dribbling. Depending on your style of play you can try Hunter or even Deadeye.He's...

The Brazilian Mad Lad

Hey guys,So I'm using Garrincha in a 442 as my right ST.I got to say he's insane.First of all, the Lad has this lightening speed that make every defender look like Bartra against Bale.He's so efficient in front of the goal he ain't missing anything on the right foot and he's also got a solid left. Even though he "only" has 86 curve he finesses everything top bin even from outside the b...

Garrincha

change of mind

I packed Garrincha with my first base icon pack. Great player in the first games but after a while the player that costs 1.6 mil did not do his job like he used to. I played him with the chemastrystile hawk. it seemed logical to me because i wanted to give him some extra strenght. Now i know i should just have givven him a hunter card and it would be fine! Didn't i know it would make such a diffirence! It was like the world...
