Maradona for 200k?
By CheekylittleRomero, 27-03-2021

So you want a Maradona like player from the same nations and in a league which needed a class CAM/CF that's better than just Mkhitariyan HL? For only 200k? Rodrigo Palacio comes at a time in FIFA where the game is not considered dead like when his flashback was released last FIFA so his popularity will be much better and he should be better received by the fans. An easy comparison is Papu Gomez TOTGS and Dybala moments. His dribbling is better than both Gomez and Dybala, with hawk is the quickest, same shooting as Dybala, better defensively and with defensive work rates, as well as being better physically, his skill moves is needed to make him feel extra special on the ball. His two downsides are his week foot (but Dybala moments has a similar issue) and passing which I noticed in particular due to him playing CAM for me in a 41212 (2). I have Mkhitaryan HL striker (5* week foot) and El Shaarway as strikers, and this dynamic works a treat. I tried both Maestro and Hawk and Maestro works better due to passing inefficiency for a CAM but hawk works better as an attacker. But he gets in great positions and standard passing to attackers worked fine in WL as he managed 11 assists and 6 goals when writing this. Overall, if you didn't do Dybala, do this, he is a Maradona for 200k

5* Skiller with a rat tail

After I finally finished the Messi potm earlier this week, I thought I wouldn't do any sbc players for a while, but this guy came out for a very cheap price I knew I should do him. Even though he has a 3* weak foot his weak foot definitely feels like 4 stars. His dribbling is super smooth and nice with insane agility and balance that feels perfect in game for a skiller. His 5 star skills are super fun and with his dribbling...

The Rattail Mad Lad

When I saw this card I immediately thought that he would be OP af, but I waited on Inceptions review to see if he was really as good as his stats suggest. He didn't come very good out of the review but then Zwebecks review was uploaded. I watched that, and as usual Zwe doesn't go really in depth, but what I did see is that his dribbling was far better than in Inceptions video. I decided to still get him, and wow that was th...
