Ronaldo who?

By EdBennett, 01-12-2021

Genuinely the best striker I've used under 500k

If you don't have the coins for Ronaldo, Di Natale or R9- most don't, then this guy is the best there is.

Qualitites

A brilliant all-round striker, this guy is a totally lethal finisher and a real game-changer

Used on Hawk, Banza has everything you need in a target man- tall (6ft2), very strong (94 strength), powerful, accurate finishing (95 shooting) and can outpace almost any defender.

His hooting is unstoppable- almost every shot goes in and his 4* weakfoot feels like 5*- he never misses.

Pace feels better than the stat would suggest, he can run past the vast majority of defenders without a problem, and if not he can use his strength to shield the ball nicely.

His dribbling is surprisingly solid without any kind of boost- I've seen other players use him on engine but i'd suggest hawk since he's always going to be a bit clunky because of his base strength and height. using Hawk just gives him lethal finishing and the strength to hold off any defender.

Heading is second to none. on Hawk, 99 Jumping (+ 6ft2), 97 Heading accuracy and 94 strength makes him a serious aerial threat, he's scored a lot of headers for me.

Passing is a lot better than his stat would suggest- has a lot of assists for me

Linkability

Not the best, not the worst. I've moved him to CM (ST in game) to link with all the other Liga Portugal Obj players and due to his nationality he links fine with my other players.

Even without any other Liga Portugal players, due to the amount of OP French player cards out there he's alright to link, though could be a little restrictive if you want to link multiple leagues together since he plays for a shit club- a green link is impossible.

Overall

100% recommend, even if just to use as a sub. He's got all you need in a target man, and could be a game changer late on as a sub- adding some pace and lethality to a tired team.

Banza

I usually don't write review. but after trying this card for 10 game, I had too. he is f***g amazing. At first I taught he would feel kind of clunky but oh my was I wrong. this card is absolutely nuts. Slap a marksmen and he will finish everything in front of ya. Headers, left and right. If you give him the chance he will score. He is strong on the ball and will fight strong CB with no problem. High low WR as well. For 80k ...

This card made me write my first ever review.

This may very well be the best SBC card so far this year in terms of value and quality. This card plays at the level of a TOTS and we are only in November. In my opinion he is a top 10 striker on this game. He has everything you want in a striker. He's 6'2'', he's fast, he's strong, he can finish, he can jump high and head the ball accurately, he's got 4*4* and H/L workrates. This is by...
