Player Review
93 - Icon Moment
I picked him up for 1,48 kk a week ago because I knew I needed a strong link for FUT Birthday Renato. Actually hadn't played Figo before in any FIFA and therefore didn't really know what to expect. Ended up using him as a RS in a narrow diamond formation with a Finisher Chem Style. Played 27 games of WL (23:4) and 11 games of Div 1 with him and he racked up 38 goals and 22 assists in the process.
His H/L work rates make him exploit open spaces in attack incredibly well and with the proper Chem Style he basically finished everything. Didn't notice his 4*WF at all when using his left. Personally I don't think he needs the pace boost as the 95 acceleration makes him very explosive. Directional nutmeg works very well with him in the box. Only reason for a pace boost would be if your play style heavily relied on through balls which is not really how I play.
Figo's also quite strong and knows how to shield the ball very well. This however brings me to his only notable downside. In slow gameplay, which you will face at some point in WL, his dribbling can feel a little sluggish. It's perfectly fine though when the connection is decent. Overall this card really surprised me and I can see myself using him for quite a while. My other two attacking players are TOTY Mbappé and IF Neymar and he did not fall behind in terms of influence and scoring power.
- Clinical Finishing (breaks the net)
- Amazing attacking runs
- Great for link-up play and quick combinations
- Bodies defenders surprisingly well
- Lack of long distance sprint speed w/o pace-based Chem Style
- Can feel a little bit clunky at times
