You might've been in the same boat as me and was tossing up between Vidal, Paulinho and Renato, and no i havent used the later but i will tell you guys what, Renato is definitely the real deal. Across the board, this card has so much to offer both with his outstanding attacking capabilities to brute-like defensive qualities. Face card stats and in games, its near impossible to pick a single flaw but often in fifa that doesnt truly reflect how the player is in game. and that is the same in this case... just for the better! Now for any of you that want to see what he is actually like in game, I have a player review on YT with some gameplay BETTER THAN GULLIT... FUT BIRTHDAY RENATO SANCHES PLAYER REVIEW, any support would be incredibly appreciated and feel free to let me know what you think. Anyway, Renato outperforms everyone on the field and is more then capable of winning you games in the attacking and defensive aspect. 700k is a steep asking price in terms of sbc value especially with more and more prime icon moments becoming available in recent weeks but this renato sanches has it all. Being 5' 9 " not only is he super nimble and smooth on the ball, just sheer pace he feels electric. Then that 5 star weak foot transforms this guy into a irl prime xavi when it comes to playing the ball, whether its a 5 yard or a 50 yard pass on either foot, he will execute it with ease. and the most suprising stat of all was his shooting, 3 games of fut champs, 8 goals and 2 assists from cdm... yeah CDM! I did play more over the weekend and currently he has 15 goals and 3 assists in 12 games so in my eyes I initially thought i was just going through the honeymoon phase with him but based on his consistent return, it wasnt just a fluke. So overall what do i think of this card? He is literally the perfect box to box cm and will replace quite literally any cm in the game at this point in time. Without a doubt he is the best cm i have used all year and more then likely the best cm i have used in fifa as a whole (ive had the likes of prime gullit, vieira ect...). 700k sbc value is steep but for what he brings to the table he is definitely worth every penny. Not only is he a good card, he brings back some joy to fifa which is hard to get nowadays so yeah, this guy is amazing!

So im very proud to use this amazing card. I played him a a CDM behind Bernado Silva FF and Thiago FB on the CM Position.

He is a very agressive CDM if u use him only in Defense. But if you do that you wasting him. His Longshots and his Pace are amazing.

The takes every Ball from the Opponent. I played against Viera and he looks like shit against him. So do him an you will be Happy the Full Fifa.

Pain. It is painful playing a game with him in, for the opponent.... Not for you. He controls the center so much, he is litterely everywhere on the pitch. He's super fast, super good at defending, shooting, passing and dribbling wise he can do anything neymar can do (except 5* sm ofc). He is super strong and that is one of the main things that makes him - well him. 90 Physicality on a cdm/cm who is only 5'9" is just crazy; and if you combine everything together don't forget that beautiful 5* wf he now has. Left foot, right foot doesn't matter. Links wise he can be a pain but i honestly dont care.

What a player. Let me start of by saying that he is a must have player for anyone running a Ligue 1 squad or at the very least got PIM Deco from swaps (who is also a great player). The moment I heard about a Renato Sanches SBC I knew he had to go into my squad, having PIM Deco and Puyol to link him in. I've so far used him in my 11 remaining WL games, playing him in an attacking CM role and he has scored a monstrous 15 goals and provided 4 assists. The numbers are outstanding, he's an amazing player and perfectly priced (well maybe even slightly underpriced). I applied Engine chem style which has worked perfectly for me. I won't lie, I deeply struggled with him in the first 3 matches with him, but it seemed that I just needed to adapt my play style to him.

Now I'm gonna get into each face stat.

PACE

What a stat - at 88 acceleration and sprint speed he is faster than almost any other midfielder and it shows with how quickly and easily he moves across the whole pitch. Chem style boosts it up to 93 which is just perfect.

DRIBBLING

Absolutely a super strong stat for him. Base has 90 which goes up to 94 with chem style. I don't know what to say honestly, he's a master dribbler and with an already maxed out 99 balance he feels very responsive and smooth with the ball. His agile dribbling is almost impossible to tackle and his pace doesn't suffer at all when he has the ball.

SHOOTING

This is a complicated stat with which I have mixed feelings, although I'm inclined to say he's still a very good shooter - as I said, I scored 15 goals in 11 matched with him. Yes it's outstanding, but I must say that his finishing is bad. He has base finishing of 78 which feels a bit lower to be honest. But heres the good part. His attacking positioning is amazing, he is always in perfect position to score and is almost imposibble for defenders to man mark. His longshots are the best I've seen this year and the power in his shots are the equivalent of having a cannon for a leg. Now on top of that he has 5* weak foot, so it doesnt matter which side you shoot from. So conclusion: Amazing attack positioning, long shots and shot power, but disappointing close range finishing.

PASSING

Very very solid. Base card has 86 that goes up to 92 with chem style. I think this is simply a stat the plays as you'd expect. Hes not the best passer - in fact, his passing is a bit inferior compared to my PIM Deco and FS Jones, but then again, his passing stats are lower. So there isnt much to say. He's a great passer and again complimented by his 5* weak foot.

DEFENDING

I don't think I'm the right person to truly rate his defending since I use him as an attacking CM. I must say though, thanks to his High/High workrates he does make the necessary defensive runs and his interceptions are a nightmare for my rivals. His heading is decent mostly due to his 91 jumping.

PHYSICAL

I'd say this is anther group stat where I've got mixed feelings. His staming and jumping are spectacular although I do have my doubts on his 86 strength, maybe it's due to how I use him but he feels a bit weaker than that, although still much stronger than Deco. But I'd say this is completely compensated by his physical presence in-game. You can just feel that he's right there wherever the ball goes.

So my closing words. He is an amazing player. The overall displays a meh 87, but let's be honest - he plays much much better than that just like his IF and UEL. I think the price is more than fair for a player this good. His hair gives makes him incredibly fun to use and I swear that in some wicked way makes him better than he should be.

First of all this is my first ever review on futbin in 4 years using this plateforme, but bro... this card is absolutely mental !!! as we know how much he is broken this year, u except much from him, but this guy does better than you can actually ask him to do !!! like come on man he is staying in ur team until fifa 22. If you're asking urself if u should do him, stop hesitating man u have to get tarzan into ur team. I just can't see any cons in this god damn card.
