Player Review
76 - IF
I needed a soft link into Talisca and IF Paulinho for the weekend and this man looked just tasty enough with a finisher to warrant dropping Ben Yedder and Griezmann from my setup. I picked my man up for minimum price, 9,600, meaning I can sell him for literally no loss at any time. I made the right decision.
I'm a division 1 rivals player and he played 3 games of weekend league for me already, just to give a frame of reference.
- He is blisteringly fast. He is always running in behind slower center backs, and even the likes of Varane and Ramos. Even if there's some sort of melee for the ball, Santos has enough strength to hold them off.
- Despite his poor passing stat, he gets a ton of assists to Talisca, Messi and Dembele playing CAMs behind him. They're mostly sweaty balls, but he's lobbed some LB+Ys to Messi after making a wide run in behind.
- The value for coins on this man is insane. I'm used to using Ben Yedder with a hunter up top, but this guy is better than him. I'm sure there will be games where I can't hit the net with him, but they haven't come yet.
My club is now Sergio Santos FC. Viva la Santos.
