So basically I found boadu in mangiral masterpiece. his gold card and 1st inform was so op this one feels so much improved from the 1st inform his shots are so deadly from inside the box I don’t even need to think about the angle it just flys in behind the gk also his agility makes him feel so responsive an allways him to dribble past defenders with ease so fun to use an so meta at the same time he honestly outshines my gold mbappe in some of the games

This guy is insane! Got this guy in player pick and instant knew, that I needed to try this guy! Normally I can't play with a striker without 5* skills. But now I matched him with Cruyff in a 4-4-2(2).

He's indescribable rapid, its hard to explain. His 95 pace and his 98 agility is just something else.

This guys is a power shot guy, like Eusebio. He has 75 in curve, which means he really can't do finesse shots. His dribbling is okay, feels a bit clumsy sometimes but it's mostly due to his non-5-star-skills. If that make sense? His passing is okay, nothing speciel. As a striker you dont really need better passing.

Overall he is a very good striker!

Pace (10/10)

Shooting (9/10)

Passing (6/10)

Dribbling (8/10)

Defending (2/10)

Physical (6/10)

This guy is insane, that agility makes him glide by defenders with ease, which is very helpful because his 95 pace doesn't feel as fast as it should. I recommend playing him in a 2 ST formation, by himself with only 3* skill moves it isn't ideal. His runs allow him to get lots of high percentage shots which he normally finishes every time.

Instructions: Stay forward, get in behind

For less than 100k this guy is great value for coins

First of all, im not a a pro player. i play the game casual and this weekend was the first weekend league (in 21) i played. and the last. the amount of 532 varane mendy rats is to damn high.

when this card came out i thought it would be a nice one to try out and see what the hype was all about.

so i bought him when his price range was 100k max. only to pack him a day later from a sbc (which was the first above 100k card i packed in awhile).

My girlfriend was working all weekend and with the lockdown and night curfew (Netherlands) in effect i thought it would be fun to do the weekend league with boadu as one of my main strikers.

boy was i wrong.

first i went 11 wins and 3 losses into Silver 1, thinking this was fun. after that all i faced were 532 Varane Mendy Rats who play the waiting game for a defender to make a mistake.

Had very little to do with Boadu as a player, but also very much.

Setup : 4-2-2-2

Strikers : Reinier FS, Boadu SIF (Both Stay in front, get in behind)

CAM's : Brand RTTF, Deco Prime

CDM's : Koeman, Pogba RTTF

RB,LB : Alex Telles OTW, Klaiber

CB's : Fer, Senesi

Okay Here goes :

Boadu is mostly invisible, dos not make a lot of runs and when he has the ball he gets bullied of it quite easely. as the rest of my team performed well i found boadu just wasn't there.

The only thing where boadu excells for me was in his shooting. and oh boy this guy can shoot !

in order to get this shooting chance in a 532 varane mendy opponent boadu needs to find the spaces and make a run for it. he just does not do this for me.

i found everytime he gets the ball he just loses it as he feels clunky and can not get the pass properly.

dont get me wrong i liked the look and feel of this card alot. its just isnt working for me. maybe i am not using him right...i dont know.

after about 10 games i have had enough of this card and found me switching him on 2nd halfs with Malen who performed miles better for me, so much he is motm at every game.

My Conclusion :

In the near future i do not and can not play any more weekend league's. this is because everybody plays the same style and its very boring to play against.

Boadu is a good player for people who play Casual in Div 3/4 and who just play the game casual. if you are a tryhard sweaty person dont use this player or as a supersub or something. but i think for the latter guys there are better alternatives.

this late in the game Boadu can't cut it. maybe if he gets a another IF it will be a different story.

He is one of the best cards i have used this year. Not expensive at all, and he feels so good in game. His 5 star WF may be the best thing about him. If he gets into the box, it doesnt matter if it is his right or left foot, you just know its going in.
