Player Review
91 - Icon
Sheesh, where to start. I used o Doutor's baby icon last year, and I've been a fan ever since. This year is the first year I've been able to use his prime icon and this is on the huge W's (R9, Cruyff, Eusebio, Gullit etc.) in my opinion the best player in the game.I used him in the 4-1-2-1-2 (2) on cam behind Cantona and Eto'o. And I'm not joking when I say that this is the best affordable cam in FIFA 21. I sold Neymar a while back to get this card and I don't regret it.
The most positive point of this card is the 5* weak foot in combination with 93 long shots. Everything you shoot on the edge of the box towards the goal flies in, both with left and right. Finishing 87 is enough for this cam to ram in all the 1-on-1 chances he gets. 85 acceleration is more than enough to sprint past players like Varane or IF Joe Gomez. He can play as a cam as well as a striker because of this acceleration. And the ball retention, oh boy, is that good. With 84 strength, Socrates keeps the defenders/defending midfielders off him. 84 strength combined with 88 heading accuracy ensures that if you don't dare to build up, you can always kick the ball to o Doutor. The only negative thing about this card is the 60 balance. Therefore, this card would be a no go for real pro players. On top of that, o Doutor is 1.92m / 6'4''. Therefore he has high & average+ body type where a Neymar for example has a more skinny body type. But for your average Gold 3/Gold 2 player, it really is a fan-tas-tic card.
