Player Review

After opening my first pack (3x85+ mid upgrade) during the TOTY promo, I packed this beautiful guy and couldn’t believe my eyes. Not only because he is a 97 rated TOTY but because he fit perfectly into my team alongside Kante and Moments Ziyech.

When I saw his pretty cheap price (for a TOTY card on the first day), I wasn’t expecting too much. He played as offensive CM alongside Kante in a 4-4-2 formation and applied Shadow. My previous CM was HL Kimmich and he was always one of the best men on the field. But a 97-rated Jorginho sees no completion there.

But enough smalltalk.

He feels super smooth on the ball and he is one of the most responsive cards I used this year. Even when the game is laggy, he seems not to be affected at all. He can dribble through tight spaces and the ball sticks to his feet, kinda like Messi does.

His passing is elite tier. I checked his passing accuracy after every game and it was never less than 95%. And believe me I am not the best tiki taka player. Long pass, short pass, crossing, through ball. It doesn’t matter. He does all.

I took several shots outside of the box and let me tell you. He bangs them like it’s nothing. His long shots stat (85) doesn’t matter because of his shot power and curve.

Defensively he brings on the table everything that you need from him. I even noticed that his AI does those automatic interceptions like Kante does when the ball is obtainable. A nice extra that I wouldn’t expect.

I think it’s clear to say that his pace is more than enough for his position. And with a Hunter or Shadow he can reach everyone with ease.

The only downside is his jumping and strength but if you use a stronger/taller CM next to him, there is no reason to worry.

Funny thing is that I thought his WR are H/H but they are M/M. Despite that he is all over the place.

To sum up: This man changed my whole teams offensive and defensive behavior. I usually struggle at 1800SR in Elite and win 50% of my matches. I played 10 games with him and won 9 of them, while 3 of them ragequit. I never thought I would find someone who does Kimmichs job better and Jorginho does this and much more. I have used many expensive CM/CDMs and if he price continues to fall, he will be one of the best coins for value CMs in the game.
