88 - FUT Birthday SBC
4.5
5* Skiller with a rat tail
By kevbrez4, 28-03-2021

After I finally finished the Messi potm earlier this week, I thought I wouldn't do any sbc players for a while, but this guy came out for a very cheap price I knew I should do him. Even though he has a 3* weak foot his weak foot definitely feels like 4 stars. His dribbling is super smooth and nice with insane agility and balance that feels perfect in game for a skiller. His 5 star skills are super fun and with his dribbling combo is insane. He is fast enough to get past most defenders but isn't completely blazing fast. His shooting is also very good and the finesse shot trait is noticeable and great in game. For a striker he has really good passing with no times where I noticed any problems. One of the best parts of his card is that his physicals are great and he even won a couple header goals. If you're thinking about doing him you should, he is quite cheap, plays super well in game, and is just a fun different player. Not to mention his rat tail is insane in game.

* 5 star skills

* Great shooting

* Good physicals and passing stats

* Insane dribbling stats

* Finesse shot trait

* Rat Tail

* 3 star week foot but not big problem

The Rattail Mad Lad
By Willemvhassel, 28-03-2021

When I saw this card I immediately thought that he would be OP af, but I waited on Inceptions review to see if he was really as good as his stats suggest. He didn't come very good out of the review but then Zwebecks review was uploaded. I watched that, and as usual Zwe doesn't go really in depth, but what I did see is that his dribbling was far better than in Inceptions video. I decided to still get him, and wow that was the best decision of my FIFA career. I'm playing him as a left striker together with Ronaldo 92, and Palacio totally dominated all my attacks. Ronaldo transformed to a 2nd striker that gives more assist then he scores goals. But that wasn't an issue at all because Palacio bangs in three goals a game in Div 2 Rivals. After the patch I really struggled with scoring, but Palacio with a hawk chem style helped me out totally. If you have the coins or untradable players, and he fits your team, JUST DO HIM. He isn't cheap but also not expensive and especially not if you see what you'll get back. The only things I noticed is that his weak foot of course isn't amazing, but he still bangs in those simple finishes with his left. Also, his long passing isn't excellent so don't try to give a lot of long trough balls with him. Just use him as the 'get in behind' striker because his short passing is just good. The biggest pro's are his neymarish dribbling and acceleration, and his edge of the box finesse shots if you get the angle right. His strength isn't amazing but he still manages to win a lot of balls using his aggression. I haven't used a chem style other than hawk, but hawk works amazing, so I definitely recommend that. His work rates were fine too, they were never a problem for me, he makes quite good runs.

  • Acceleration
  • Finishing, his finishing is 92 and 98 att pos. and his 95 composure really help with scoring.
  • Dribbling, especially his normal left analog dribbling and ofcourse 5 star skills
  • 3 star weak foot, but he still scores the simple shots with his left
  • Long passing, but you don't really need that as a deep striker

You naughty naughty, you teasing meee.
By Reshirex, 28-03-2021

He is the goat,

The name Palacio,

This guy is quite cheap,

And he has the feet,


If your name is luke,

Then you're gonna puke,

But what if i say,

That maybe today,

We can live a life,

With satisfaction

But not if we jump out the window if someone plays a fucking through ball to this guy, if they do you're fvcked. I don't have many words to say about him; and as you can tell i'm very bored so yeah, he's quick as fuck, amazing a shooting, alright passing, insane dribbling, 5* sm, super agile and lean, decent stamina. And pretty strong surprisingly. But a pain in the arse to link.


Futbin didn't except my review after i made it in 3 hours from him coming out, and yet take 20 hours to except the 1st reviews. And still don't review it then. :( rip

Maradona for 200k?
By CheekylittleRomero, 27-03-2021

So you want a Maradona like player from the same nations and in a league which needed a class CAM/CF that's better than just Mkhitariyan HL? For only 200k? Rodrigo Palacio comes at a time in FIFA where the game is not considered dead like when his flashback was released last FIFA so his popularity will be much better and he should be better received by the fans. An easy comparison is Papu Gomez TOTGS and Dybala moments. His dribbling is better than both Gomez and Dybala, with hawk is the quickest, same shooting as Dybala, better defensively and with defensive work rates, as well as being better physically, his skill moves is needed to make him feel extra special on the ball. His two downsides are his week foot (but Dybala moments has a similar issue) and passing which I noticed in particular due to him playing CAM for me in a 41212 (2). I have Mkhitaryan HL striker (5* week foot) and El Shaarway as strikers, and this dynamic works a treat. I tried both Maestro and Hawk and Maestro works better due to passing inefficiency for a CAM but hawk works better as an attacker. But he gets in great positions and standard passing to attackers worked fine in WL as he managed 11 assists and 6 goals when writing this. Overall, if you didn't do Dybala, do this, he is a Maradona for 200k
