88 - Record Breaker
Luckily, I got Sancho out of a 2X 81+ Upgrade, otherwise, I wouldn't have purchased him.
Anyways, Sancho was slow to get going. With only 2 Goals and 2 Assists in 4 games(As a ST), I wasn't enjoying him. But, after around 10 games, when you get used to his playstyle, he is an absolutely phenomenal player. He leads the line perfectly, and is an all round perfect striker. If you enjoyed RTTF Quincy Promes, you will enjoy Sancho even more. His incredible dribbling makes it so easy to glide in and out of defenders, with the 5 star skills just being the icing on the cake. If you are a player that enjoys Tiki-Taka Football, or skilling, you will most certainly fall in love with this card.
-Dribbling - Especially Agility and Balance, they're absolutely phenomenal.
-Finishing - This was surprisingly good, he managed to finish most chances that he got.
-Passing - As a ST his passing was nice, didn't misplace passes, which was certainly a good thing.
-Pace - He's not absolutely lightning fast, but it certainly does the job.
-Skill Moves - 5* Skill moves is all you could ask for.
-3* Week foot - I didn't really struggle with this, but I know it will be a big negative for some people.
-Stamina - He quite often ran out of stamina and disappeared towards the ends of games. This was most prominent in the 1 game I used him in as a CAM.
-Strength and Aggression - I didn't go in expecting Sancho to be strong, and he wasn't. It wasn't really noticeable, because very rarely would I get into a physical battle between him and another player anyway.
-Cost - At around 340K on all platforms at the writing of this review, Sancho is pricey.
-Links - I had to use 2 icons to get him into a squad, so bear that in mind when purchasing Sancho.
Finally Ea released a Sancho that has almost the stats he deserves(except for pace and passing), it was 350k, and Salah is almost 300 so I sold him and tried to prove Sancho. (All the ratings I put are with Hunter)
Pace 9.5/10
He deserves more Pace but idk why EA put him that pace, still it’s not bad at all, specially with hunter, he has an average body, but good balance and agility, so good start.
Shooting 9/10
When I say shooting 9/10 I’m talking about finishing because he has 99 with hunter, he has bad long shots so that’s why I put him at ST and not CAM, but then if I’m talking about finishing, why not 10/10? Shot power is also a problem even when he is close, the good thing is that he will always be near the goal so you will not need to shoot long, as he has amazing positioning. And maybe it’s just me, but it didn’t feel the 3* wf, or only a few times, as Salah he felt good with boot feet
Passing 8.5/10
He has 82 passing bit as shooting his stats look like more, 88 vision and 89 short passes and as a Striker he doesn’t need so much long passing so he makes good passes
Dribbling 9/10
He has amazing agility and balance and really good dribbling, and even better 5* skills, It’s definitely his best stat, and that’s why I bought him, it feels so fun to play with him
Defending/ Heading 4/10
Just no...
Phisicality 6.5/10
His physicality isn’t the best and his stamina isn’t good too. I would rather him having less strength but more stamina, but at stay forward he doesn’t get tire so much, but he isn’t Kante.

Phisicality
Quite expensive?
First of all I am not an english speaker so my english is not very good. I am a lucky Gold II player that packed Fernandes TOTY 3 weeks ago and attempting to get better results in champs started to buy cards that are not as meta as the typical Varane or Mendy. I bought Sancho to play as a CM on a 4-3-3(5) and since the first matches I started to notice it was an awesome player. In 30 games he scored 21 goals and and give 26 assists. The dribbling it's incredible, the passing and the shooting are OK, and the pace was surprisingly good. Despite using it as CM the defending is not a must. The physical is quite bad but is not very important. In conclusion, is an incredible attacking midfielder and i would recommend it to you as a player to have fun with
