Player Review
92 - FUT Birthday
Div 3/Gold 2 player.
I tried Thiago at CAM and he was good. In 7 games of rivals he scored 4 and assisted 3. Not bad. Not 440k worth though.
Then I changed my formation to 4-3-3 standard and played him in the right CM spot with prime Veron and Rabiot at CDM. He really comes to life here and he has outscored every other player in this role (11 games in rivals). 99 acceleration is a nice perk with Thiago which helps me transition from defence easily. He's also really solid defensively and makes his fair share of tackles (around 2-3 per game which is really nice. I don't play an overly pressing style) The best attributes for me we're his passing, dribbling and his 5* 5*.
Overall, if you're looking for a CAM I'd say he's good BUT not an upgrade on players such as Wazza, Neymar... If you're looking for a CM who will get forwards but also do some dirty work, I can honestly say he's incredible. Definitely worth the coins. Runs the midfield.
5* 5*
Dribbling is really really good. Up there with some elite level dribblers. Coupled with the skills really nice.
Shooting has been reliable with a hunter. Much better than stats suggest.
Overall pace is good, acceleration is really great.
Defending is good. Haven't tried out at CDM might be decent with a shadow.
Came as a surprise but scored some headers. That jumping stat makes him an ok header.
Passing is unreal. short/long.
Good workmates for a CM.
Strength. At times gets pushed off of the ball, but if you're a good dribbler/skiller you can counteract this.
