87 - FUT Birthday SBC
4.5
Gervinho
By FalcaoIsGoat, 02-04-2021

The squad I used Gervinho in was Falcao 87 ST, Gervinho LAM, Prime Okocha CAM, Prime Rivaldo RAM, FBD Perisic and Storyline Tello CDMs, UEL Atal LB, Marcelo and 89 Marquinhos CB, 86 Cuadrado RB, and 88 Navas GK. I used a deadeye chem style on him and I also played him LM in a 4-4-2. The games I played were in Div 2 and I get Gold 2-1 in WL.


With the way my squad lines up for chemistry I have Okocha CDM and Rivaldo on 7 chem as a ST. That gives my LW two Icon links, so I can play any LW there on 10 chem. I have Moses Simon and POTM Sancho as competitiors with Gervinho and I can safely say Gervinho is the best of the three, then Simon pretty close behind him, then Sancho just behind Moses. I was a little disappointed with the pace on this card, feels more like 96-95 whereas normally a Gervinho card feels like 99 pace. But that does not mean he is not incredibly pacey, he still zooms around on the wing and the acceleration after a heel to heel or scoop is superb. His shooting on the right boot is nice, he scored 8 goals in 12 games, most of them 1v1s, but he did well to finish them. On his left foot, his shot power feels like 60, but he can place it fairly well, just not get it past the keeper from 15+ yards. Long shots with this card seemed good, he has a nice finesse shot on him. The passing on this card was suprisingly good, and this aspect of his game is what put him over Simon in my eyes. With 99 short pass, 99 vision, 88 curve, and 90 crossing, with the deadeye boost, he was a playmaker in the attacking third, and even though he only got 6 assists, he was creating a lot of chances. 2 of those assists were beautiful crosses to the lethal head of Falcao I noticed a majority of people but a marksman on this card, but I do not think that is worst it, the physical boost is unnoticeable in game, and, with Gervinho, his dribbling always feels the same, so I think deadeye or finisher for the balance and +15 finishing are the 2 best options. Stamina is good, never felt like I had to sub him off.


Overall a great card with some fun links for a fair price. On top of that, he is a FIFA legend, which reminds us of a better more fun FIFA. I can truly say this card, along with Falcao and Okocha, my 2 all-time favorite players, helps me have fun with this game.

GERVINHO, THE NEW NEYMAR

Gervinho, i used him in a 4-2-2-2, CAM, in the left, and he scored 3 goals in 2 games, but its not as good as he is playing as ST, i change my formation to a 4-1-2-1-2 ( gervinho and palacio ST) and he love me, as striker, in fut champions, he scored me 13 goals in 5 games, and 3 assists, unbeliable.

Gervinho

Good morning everyone!This is my first review and I hope you like it.Gervinho is a player I took for just 20,000 coins because he already had players for SBC. If you have several players of 84 and 85, some reports and a Serie A team, it is a very good left-wing option in Serie A because I don't know if you have so m...

Insane as LW and ST

So, this card is really something different. I've used him as both a LW/LCAM and a ST and he's been insane in both positions. He feels SUPER similar to my flashback El Shaarawy and with almost the same SM + WF you can make the perfect partnership in a 2-striker formation. His pace makes him almost impossible to catch by CB:s, but not by some fullbacks and that's why I would recommend hi...
