Fantastic ball-winning CM

By skydragon484, 29-10-2020

When I woke up this morning to my red picks I was a little anxious about getting trash this week. The cards overall aren't that great except for 3 or 4 players. Boy was I excited when I opened my first player pick and saw this man pop up. He slotted right into my team after a little work. Yes, his league is terrible but he does have a few notable links. Most will link him with Rulebreakers Talisca but my team couldn't support Talisca so I sold some assets along with my Gattuso card to buy base Socrates. Along with Alex Telles at LB I was able to get him to 10 chem with a shadow in no time. When I got into my first game I realized how much of a beast this card is. He intercepts so many balls even more so than my base Gattuso whom he replaced. He feels awesome overall and does everything well from passing to defending to even shooting when necessary. His pace isn't noticeable with the right chem styles and he is fairly agile with great balance. His in game stats are fantastic coming in at 2367 with no chem style and 2432 with a shadow. I'm sure with a catalyst or hunter this card could be an above average CAM but I am leaning more towards either pure CM or CDM in terms of usage. Overall, I highly recommend you try this card out if you have the coins to get him.

Complete Midfielder On A Budget

(First ever review so hopefully I don't butcher the format!) Picked up Paulinho on the web app for my starter team and have been blown away by his dominance in midfield so far. If he were still in one of the big five leagues this card would be wildly more expensive. Instead, he is probably the best bang for your buck in midfield out there, certainly for the first few weeks. He completely runs the show in games against the w...

Just. Awesome. Fut Birthday Paulinho.

Well, i don't know where to start. Beside the fact that this review of Fut Birthday Paulinho is my first player review ever written, Paulinho is just great. But let me begin at the start.When I saw the Fut Birthday Team 2 players, i didn't plan to get Paulinho for my team. I thought this card looks good, but it won't work with my actual team. So as always when I got some packs, i let my girlfriend open the...

Better then Allan

Hello! My first review, sorry for my bad English.I used him with Shadow in 4-4-2 with Allan in center. And he was a good even in div 2 rivals. He is versitile, can do everything you need. I like him more than Allan. And he is much cheaper.Firts, his pace is good. With shadow he feels good enough.Very good defending. Nice passing, both short and long. Good finishing, overall good sh...
