88 - PL POTM SBC

1.5

Is this card actually worth it despite stigma? NO

By CheekylittleRomero, 12-03-2021

I, as many in the FIFA community were so as well, was hoping that my dreams aligned and we'd be given by the gods a POTM Lingard, who despite a poor week foot, was still Lingardinho so was instantly worth it. Then this came out and everyone, rightly, complained. However, despite the instant stigma around him, I'd thought i would try him and see if he's worth it. The easy answer is no. I played 1 rivals game and he played CM with a shadow. He was slow, unresponsive and hit some pathetic shots on goal, his passing was good, as long as I made sure the player i was passing to was 2cm in front of me, he failed to tackle on numerous occasions, and cannot jump to save his life. My TOTGS Papu Gomez felt stronger than this. He felt like he had 2*skills and 0* week foot. So not only has this card been bad because it's the wrong choice (I would've rather seen Bruno than this) but he is incompetent in-game in his only position where he could be competent, Don't do him and buy Gullit moments, because you can do that now. On the topic of icons, if you're going to do this sbc, you really have to question why are you not grinding for Deco moments? Easy to obtain, icon links and more versatile player with competent defending stats, yes you lose a weak foot, but you gain a player double the quality and is bar far up there as one of the most underrated icons. Oh and I won that game 5-0 and he managed no assists, tells you everything really.

Passing was okay but was like a crab and couldn't play anyone in behind

Pace (even with shadow)

Shooting (never in right position and when faced with an easy chance he blundered it

Passing for more than 10 metres

Dribbling(similar to Bruno with low agility and balance so both can't really take anyone on, but at least bruno felt smooth on the ball, the composure stat was a lie

Defending (with shadow)

Physical (Man cannot jump and felt weaker than Papu Gomez, tells you everything really)

Mr. Whippy

Like a lot of the FIFA community, I voted for Lingard to win the PL POTM and was a little disappointed to find out he didn't win. However, Ilkay Gundogan (I believe he rightfully deserved to win) is a great card contrary to popular belief. The SHADOW chemistry style without a shadow of a doubt (see what I did there ;) ) is the best way to get the most out of Gundo and it is vital to use h...

GUNDOGAN IS GOD

As soon as I saw this card I knew I definitely needed him for my team. I expected him to be good but holy this card is amazing. I use a 4-1-4-1 formation and have Gundogan as my right CM. I have this position on stay forward in custom tactics so he basically acts like a cam (works for me). He made amazing runs, shots, passes, dribbles the whole lot. In the first game I played with him he good a hat-trick, assist and motm ev...

Silky Ilkay (POTM Gundogan)

As a Man City fan I voted for Gundogan and did him straight away but not only was this deserved, but he's pretty good in game. There aren't too many good premier league CM's apart from pogba and wijnaldum so i wanted to try Gundogan. Not only that but he is the cheapest Prem POTM that has come out, so if you have a prem team he is a perfect fit. He is overall a very nice card and weekend league ready. He played as a LCM in ...
