Player Review
89 - Icon
So, before I start with this review I would like to say that I am a pretty decent FIFA player. I play in D1 in rivals and if I play all my WL games I finish around G1/E3.
I use 5-2-1-2 as my main formation this year and rarely switch to 4-2-3-1. Both formations he is a striker.
This card is a lot of fun to use, he bangs in goals with either foot; The 5^WF is very present. The finishing is very consistent and he scores from some weird angles I thought he couldn't.
I personally really like to have one big player in the team, instead of having a full meta team with the best player in each position. Last weekend league I used Mbappe and CR7 together and even though I am a use fan of both in real life; It did not feel that special since every team in D! has either Mbappe/Neymar Mbappe/CR7 CR7/Neymar etc. This card just has that special pressence on the pitch, that feel of invincibility. When you score with this card and opponents kick off and you see his card flash up; on the pitch it just feels great . He has pace, physical and you never have to sub him off. This man honestly is a gamechanger.
However, this card is crazy expensive. I saw there was no review of Eusebio this year so I thought it would be good to put on here so you know what you get your self into if you are lucky enough to afford this card, or pack him even. The price of this card does not justify it. BUT, I think there is not a single icon out there worth it for non professional FIFA players. If you want to sweat out your games, I would build an insane meta team with CR7,Mbappe and Neymar from this amount of money. However, if you are like me and want to try something different than what your opponent has every game; Your gamechanger has arrived.
Pace
Movement off the ball
Finishing
Looks just amazing in game
Has that special feel you don't get with regular cards
Pressence is noticeable on the pitch.
Price
Does not have 5* skills which is pretty META this year but if you know your way around with 4* skills like I do it is not a huge con
Not a great nation to link players (now I am just searching for cons honestly)
