85 - Signature Signings S
Buddies,
Let's talk about Gelson Martins Signature Signings! (if you like the review, give me some support and your opinion on my IG please: scandola_FUT)
The long-awaited Gelson Martins Signature Signings card is finally available during this Black Friday event via an SBC costing around 150k. The stat increase is impressive compared to the base card: +4 pace, +8 shooting, +7 passing, +7 dribbling, +7 defending, +7 physicality and +201 total!!!! This card was eagerly awaited by the FIFA community because everyone is aware of the power and maneuverability of this player. So it was without hesitation that I completed this SBC. The Cabo Verde King joined my club as RW in a 4-1-2-1-2 for my last 15 Fut Champions games (15W-5L). He brought to my team what no other had done before him: 8 goals and 10 assists.
Regarding his main strengths, without a doubt his maneuverability makes him totally insane and unique with an agility stat of 99 and a balance of 97 coupled with his snake body type and his 5 stars skills. Then, his speed is INCREDIBLE, he is one of the fastest players with an acceleration to 98 and a sprint speed of 96. Finally, he is a real killer in front of goals and in finishing, he never fails an attempt. It is true that at first glance you might think that his shooting ability (79) is going to be disappointing, but it is quite the opposite, you just have to note use him to take a penalty.
Regarding his weaknesses, I notice during some duels his lack of strength which can sometimes be problematic particularly if your game play is note made of a lot of dribbling and you do not avoid a bit the contact with defenders. However, the statistics indicated on the card are not felt in the game. He looks much more physical and stronger. Finally, the big problem is obviously his 3 stars weak foot, which makes it very predictable that we will systematically shoot with his right foot.
In conclusion, I am totally won over by this card. Despite already very impressive stats on paper, the feeling during the gameplay is even more overused. I felt like I was using a top Icon. Furthermore, he is easily placed on any team, and the price is really not exaggerated at all. So, I advise you all to do it if you can afford it. It always pays more to make that card or Benzema Flashback than those damn SBC Basic Icon or Hero.
