Better call Saul!!!

Hello everyone, i hope everyone reading this is well and staying safe. Once again FIFA have released another player worth way too much for this stage of the game, but at this point im not surprised. During Fut birthday, i was lucky enough to pack the new FB Hermoso untradeable which led to me later completing the FB Kondogbia who are both absolutely brilliant. So, to keep the new Atletico theme trending i decided to bite the bullet and chance completing Saul, i only spent roughly 35k on both sbcs combined which was fairly satisfying. I am not going to indulge into what I got from the packs, im sure you can guess the outcome! In game i have chosen to play the 5-2-1-2 and Saul is playing as the CAM in this formation. The chemistry style i placed on him would be the engine as i slightly wanted to improve his agility and balance. In game he feels comfortable and in control of the ball. His pace is good, hes certainly no Adama but hes got the speed to skip past deep lying midfielders and occasionally the opposition centre-backs. His shooting is pretty average, he has "finished his dinner" when he needed to and i certainly do not have any complaints about this part of his game. Next, we move onto his passing, by far this would be his best stat, short or long this man could put a ball on a sixpence, he splits the play expertly and he opens the game up. Out of the games i have played with him i am certain he has not misplaced more than ten passes which is exquisite. His dribbling is good, not great, i do not think the 95 dribbling on an engine is totally justified, but he is not far off it, even with an engine he was not as agile as i would typically want my attacking midfielder but i cannot complain he certainly makes up for it in other areas of his game. Right, moving on to his next stat, defending, i must admit this is his worst stat, there are some interceptions in game i would have expected him to be able to pick up but he did not, also when defending a lead, he does not really maintain the best position but that is the consequence i pay for playing him on an engine. Finally, his physical is good, Saul is not bullied off the ball and he wins most of his headers which is neat. His 4-star weak foot and skills are good enough, i am not really a guy who has flashy skills in my locker but if i was being meticulous i would have liked a five-star weak foot to add more variation to his game.

Overall, is he worth the price? Just after the turn of the year, maybe. Now? No, not this close to team of the season, if you had a LaLiga team or are a fan of Atletico then he is a decent option but, in the end, FIFA have priced him way too high, id value him around just under the two hundred thousand mark but that is me, he will certainly remain in my team for the time being but come TOTS a better replacement could be found.

The perfect cam

On my second account i have decided to complete him. I don't know why, TOTS is coming on april 24 but i didn't want to use the top meta players. I used him on many places in the field. That's why im not giving him an rating for one position. I based his rating on the position where he is the best, as a cam. I played him as an rm, cam, cm and even as a rb, after 10 matches i know enough about how good he is. I used the 4-2-3...

great card, BUT

okay so idk what your personal views on this card are, but these were the thoughts that went through my head when i was trying this card were: Pace- 92 Great pace. No problems here. 10/10. loved the fact that he was so tall despite being so fast. SHOOTING-89 Amazing. I played him in a variety of positions and it was great. He can finish from anywhere, and the 4* S...
