86 - Winter Wildcards SBC

4.0

Not bad

By noelboz, 19-12-2021

I needed a replacement for my Rashford and Wilfried Zaha just happend to be a perfect replacement it seemed. Card looked really good on the eye, a juicy WF upgrade with a nice shooting boost as well, just for about 160k.

To be honest this is a very fair price for this card as I believe he'd be more expensive if on the market. He also definitely feels better than the Rashford I was previously using which made me happy.

I about 14 WL games with him, where I tried playing him primarily at LAM in a 4231, but I also sometimes played him at CM or at ST in a 41212 narrow formation. For me he excelled the most out-wide but he honestly was not a bad striker. CM was good too but don't expect much from him in defense and stamina isn't a strong point for him.

Since I was playing him out wide I decided to give him the engine chemistry style, almost maxing out his already insane pace and dribbling. And honestly, it felt so good. His dribbling is top-notch and he genuinely feels fast unlike some other players that have high stats but the stats feel ''fake'' in-game. And also if you are a skillmove fanatic like me you will love doing stuff like ball-roll scoops and elastico's, he executes them very fast and neatly.

I also must add that his passing is very underrated. Since the engine chemistry style boosted his vision to above 85, he receives a boost on assisted through passes which is very nice. Other passes such as ground passes and crosses are also high-end.

Also having this high balance, combined with somewhat decent strength, a good body type and being pretty tall in general makes it very tough for the opponent to knock him off the ball, really enjoyed that about him

I however had one really big letdown about this card, and that was that he really sucked at shooting. I probably should've tried boosting it with for example the hawk chemistry style, but I went for the engine instead because I preferred that. I do recommend going for hawk if you for example play him ST because he really needs that finishing boost. Despite him having 4 star WF, shots with his left just felt like he had 3 star WF to me as they usually lacked a lot of accuracy. Shots with his right were alright, but from a bit more difficult angles it almost felt impossible to score with him. However his high shot power usually makes the ball fly into the net despite it nog being the most accurate shot, and green timing the shot makes it even harder for the GK to save it.

Overall I think that I do not regret completing this SBC. He is a nice upgrade compared to my Rashford and did pretty well despite me complaining about his shooting. For 150-160k I think that this SBC is very good value and I'd recommend this card to anyone that actually needs to upgrade one of their attackers and has the links to fit him in.

Cheap for his card
Very fast
Crazy dribbling
Pretty strong on the ball

Shooting felt really bad a lot of times
Stamina when he is in a position where he has to run a lot (Didn't really matter on the wing or at striker for example)

Wilfried Zaha

Incrredible

Wilfired Zaha is an incredible player. I packed him on day 1 out of a one player pack and wasn't expecting him to be this good. Ive been using him as a secondary striker paired with antony and they fit each other perfectly. The best thing about his TOTS is that his passing is incredible. He compliments another 5 star skilled so well and his passes with a deadeye are S tier for a striker. The one downside I see to him is his...

Wilfried Zaha

Can't believe this card is so cheap

I did this card just because I wanted another super sub with 5 skill moves, but the stats really caught my attention, so I decided to try and use it in my first 10 WL matches, although it plays on 7 chemistry. Guys, you can't believe how agile and clinical this Zaha version is, 4 WF is a HUGE impact and you can outplay your opponent in the wings with eas...
