Jota the "Mota"

By goncalopolicarpo, 23-03-2021

After playing 4 rival games and a full weekend league with Jota, I feel like I have a good understanding of what this guy brings to the table.

Got him in a red pick and instantly decided to try him out as he fits my team pretty well.

In 34 games he scored 33 and assisted 31, which is an impressive level of production, as he helped me secure Gold 2 competing against very stacked teams, much better than mine, so I really can't complain much.

As aditional information, im a division 1 player, my squad is the following: GK: Pope IF; CB: baby Maldini and gold Gomez; LB: Reece James FS; RB:Klaiber; CM: Curtis Jones and Fer; Wingers: Van Bergen (yes, Van Bergen and its almost April, I know) and showdown Malen; ST: gold Rashford and this Jota. I played mostly in 4-1-2-1-2 wide with Jones as my cam, Fer as the CDM, Malen on the right and Vhamburguer on the left with the other two chads upfront.

So my opinion is that he is a very solid player and overall a reliable option in any attacking position. I wouldn't say he is a game changer, but at the same time he will not let you down!

The stats he put up this weekend league were very impressive and maybe I should give him a 5 out of 5 stars for that alone, but I honestly feel like he is more of a 8/10 player, he isn't elite but he is very good. Hope this review helps you make a educated decision if you choose to pick him up, stay safe homies.

When it comes to his overall shooting, he is very clinical and reliable finisher, his shooting stats are phenomenal and the 5 star weak foot compensates the lack of shooting traits. The 86 curve helped with his finesse shots and the power shots are always on the money. Also felt like the 89 composure helped him get quality shots off even when under pressure or from weird angles;

His passing feels great in game, his passing stats are well balanced and the 5 star weak foot allows him to distribute the ball at a high level in any direction. Dont sleep on the 77 long pass, maybe the range at which you can launch the lob passes isn't fantastic, but its definitely a tool I used with sucess to get the ball in behind to a nearby teammate;

Dribbling feels pretty smooth and the 4 star skills give you the necessary tools to get past the last defender;

Physical and defensive stats are very unique for a player his size and position. Because of his agressiveness, standing tackle and interception, mixed with his strenght, he feels like a little buldog, shielding the ball well and winning scrappy 50/50s. 85 stamina is also pretty good, which he probably needs since he has high/high workrates, so he didn't let me down in that aspect, but I sub one my STs out most of the time anyway so even if had poopycaca stamina it wouldn't be that big of an issue;

Really good links, Portugal, Liverpool and since he is a CF you can change his position easily to make the chem work;

Value for coins is pretty good, he isn't too expensive and you are getting a good overall package for what you are paying, he is versatile and reliable.

Pace can at times be underwhelming, especially when facing fullbacks that are being used as centerbacks and of course Varane lol. So there are some matchups that you will face regularly in the weekend league that have more sprint speed than Jota, and that can be an issue at times. Because of his weird pace split, you can easily max out the acceleration, but you can only go to 94 sprint speed. Is he slow? No, but his pace isn't elite and that can bite you in the behind when going up against very fast META defenders;

Has absolutely zero aerial game, keep the ball on the ground because even if he wins a header, the accuracy will be ass 9 out of 10 times;

No shooting traits, but this is a minor con because he does have a 5 star week foot;

Is good at everything, but isn't an absolute game changer. For those game changing players you have to pay a pretty penny dont you?

1mil+ card if he becomes 94 and 1.5mil with 5* sm.

We all know that Portugal are one of the favorite's to win the Euro's and all they need to do for this Jota to be 93 rated is to win 5 games, my guess is that the chances of him becoming a 94 or 5* 5* lie in the group stage in which they face both France and Germany, if they can prevail in them 2 games then I'm sure he will have no problem becoming 94. Because if Portugal win them 3 games, th...

Diogo Jota Review

Over all Jota was an amazing addition to my team because there are so few prem left wingers available at a affordable price! the 4* Skill moves are nice while the 5 * Weak foot is an absolute luxury. I know im probably going to regret saying this but EA really killed it with his free content!
