Billy Hughes!

By Bogey, 27-04-2021

I've had a lot of fun so far with this Hughes card. I had recently been using Kimmich's 92 TIF and neuhaus' FS card and Hughes reminds me of them in a lot of ways. They all have the same kinda pace with, when boosted by shadow, get them to mid-high 90's in acceleration and mid 80's for sprint speed. All three have decent dribbling/ball control and excellent passing/vision. The main reason I think I preferred Neuhaus over Kimmich, his extra height made him better for tackling and the medium/medium work rates I actually found to be very helpful. Hughes is even TALLER and has the same work rates and so far he has been great defensively, probably the best of the three. He moves so well for how large he is it actually makes me laugh every time I got him on the ball. I love taking good ol' BIlly down the block. I want to add he is so large that it makes up for his lack of heading and strength. Body type seems to be just as important when it comes to winning headers and getting people off the ball. His weakfoot didn't seem to be a big deal. He has high enough passing stats that he just will prefer to use his left even if he is positioned on his right, but I haven't seen him misplace a pass because of it yet. Of course there are some shortcomings to this card, but he does his job very well and for the price I will probably mess around with him for at least another week or two. Great bonus that he gets the Rooney SBC on full chem. I had been using the Henry obj card, but it opens up a lot more options if I want to keep him in the team. Also I bought him at 50k and he's currently at 75k, all of the other reviews seem to have had him at 30k which was around day 1 or 2 pricing. It seems his value is only going up for the time being.

30k Gullit Club

Today I wanted to get some TOTS into my team to change it up and try players I would've never thought of using before. Then I packed will Hughes in my 83 x 10 pack so I had to fit him into my team. For a 30k player this guy was great. He felt quick but not blazing fast. Unfortunately I did not get many shooting opportunities with him to try out his shooting that looks good. Besides a couple times where he would shank a pass...

EFL Gullit for 45k.

Paired with baby blanc at CDM, he commanded the midfield better than anyone I've used at this price tag. Stick an anchor on him and he's the championship Ruud Gullit. Although he's 6'1, he has the nimble feel of Kante for jockeying and makes fantastic interceptions. I'd say he's the best value-for-money CDM in the game at the moment.

The most underrated cdm ever?

I packed Hughes from the guaranteed EFL pack and after a brief check of his stats, thought he was nothing special. Damn, was I wrong. This man repeatedly gets ratings of 10, he completes so many dribbles, can make filthy passes, tackles like a rugby player on drugs and can even shoot if you need him to. His height means he can win 10/10 aerial duels, his skill moves are decent, ...
