Expected more. Solid CM but not for everyone

By colesak, 24-01-2022

I completed him yesterday and so far I can already tell that he's over hyped. I understand that not everyone's fodder situation is equal. So for some people the 230K price tag, at the time of this review, could seem pricey, Whereas for other it's nothing. Well for me the cost was quite substantial for the type of player I got in return.

The High/High works are not for everyone. For my style of play, I should have known that this work rate would not work. He's consistently out of position and is never really where I need him to be. Now saying that, work rates can work in favor or against you depending on formation and tactics. I'll just have to find a way to work around it.

For me he is an average player. To me he didn't really seem worth the price. I replaced Capoue with this card and I feel I need to go back to Capoue because the defense just isn't there. I had him on a shadow and even with that the defense is lacking. Also his body type and height are just not as dominating of a presence in the middle of the pitch as someone like Capoue. That being said.....Paqueta is in another league with his passing over Capoue.

If you wanna run him as more of an attacking mid I'm sure you might have better luck with him. Shadow in my opinion is kind of a waste on this card.

If you need him for the links, or you have the fodder to easily complete him then go for him. You really can't lose there.

If you are a non-skiller, save your fodder. It's January and there will be someone better later on. His weak foot is terrible.

Passing is great. He definitely makes some great passes leading to scoring opportunities. Crossing is blah though. Nothing special so you can't really play him on the wing.

Dribbling is decent. I didn't really feel anything different that several other players that I have on my team. For me he did not match up to Coutinho's dribbling level.

He has great base stats and could really play any position in the midfield, which is great. But there are about 25 other players that can do that.

Links. I got him mainly for the links. Perfectly links some key leagues and countries in my team.

High/High. It's not for everyone, in my case it just didn't work. I prefer High/Med or better yet Med/Med (but this is just personal preference)

Weak Foot. I mean not a make or break deal but when I'm banging in shots from outside the box with Capoue's weak foot and Paqueta can't hit air, that says something.

Price. Again not everyone's fodder situation is the same. There is always someone better on the horizon.

The missing piece - LUCAS PAQUETÁAAA

So.... I used to play with Aouar and Llorente, and i've been struggling for quite some time, i tried to replace Llorente with Tchouaméni but the guy was just to stocky for me. I'm a big Olympique Lyonnais fan so i refused to replace Aouar, when i saw that this Paquetá, my eyes started shinning like two gold stars. Thankyfully i had the fodder and the coins to do him.

Honestly I feel so lucky to have him, pedri and renato untradeable but let's get into the gameplay. Paqueta is absolutely crazy. I have my CMs on balanced and cover center, and they love to go forwards, Paqueta is absolutely the better one of the two at this role. He holds the ball as good as RTTF Renato, 5* skills gives him an edge and his left stick dribbling makes me want to strip. S...

Paqueta is very very good

Paqueta is soo good in the midfield. I played him next to rulebreakers Marco verratti and honestly paqueta is better. He intercepts so many balls and he leads the team up soooooooo well. most time I play Tiki Takas between him and beckham and rip on with either of them. He is so good, and his dribbling is world class. he turns like a figure skater and his left foot is class. his passing is al...
