Player Review

89 - FUT Birthday SBC
2.0
(almost) Ruined my Weekend league
By Padalbus, 05-04-2021

I am a Div 1 player, who regularly gets to G1 on WL. I am rocking a serie a/la liga hybrid and when I saw Vidal, I thought he was a must buy (especially as all the reviewers were raving about him)! On paper, Vidal is one of the best b2b midfielders in the game but for whatever reason I could not get him to work!


Defending (5/10)

I started off playing him as the sole holding midfielder in a 41212 narrow but found that he wasn't good enough defensively - for whatever reason he seemed to bounce off other players like mbappe and even weaker players like Neymar. As far as positioning, he didn't do a bad job but there are definitely better defensive CDMs out there.


Passing (9/10)

I could not fault vidal's passing this weekend league - he very rarely put a foot wrong and could thread both long and short passes


Pace/agility/dribbling (5/10)

Lumpy lumpy lumpy. Slow and lumpy (I had a shadow on him, maybe it should have been an engine?)


Shooting (6/10)

Vidal's shooting was good, but nothing special. He does make good attacking runs but hasn't got the pace to make them count


Strength (6/10)

Regularly got shrugged off the ball by the likes of Kante.



I started off this weekend League with with vidal at RCM and had the worst start to WL I have ever had. As soon as I dropped Vidal, my weekend league picked up significantly and I clutched G1 by winning 9 (yes nine) games in a row! Vidal had a goal/assist contribution of 0.2 per game. If I compare that to Cucurella, who played LCM, he had a G/A of 0.8 per game (from basically the same position)


From my experience, I would highly recommend not getting Vidal.

Arturo el monstruo Vidal - honest review

As soon as I saw this mate hitting the SBC's I realized this could be the CDM i was always looking for. Due to many untrades in my club I got him for 100k and didn't hesitate any second to complete his SBC. By looking at his stats I surely had some big expactations regarding his gameplay. Would he be worth the 500k he would cost someone, who has nothing left in his club ?Afer trying him out for a few match...

Arturitoooooo

If you've seen BorasLegend on YT (i strongly recommend you do) you'll see he is a fan of Vidalturi. I, am, no exception. I packed his OTW Version from the finesse 100 goals pack, and i have to say, he is a beast. Sooooo... Lets go!PACE-65 Pace, yes, that is bad, but he is a CDM and his defending makes it possible for him to be at exactly the right place so he sprints very little SH...
