Play this guy in the front 3.

1850 - 1950 Skill Rating in Elite Division on PC.

Packed this guy after investing almost 400k into PL and Ligue 1 upgrades. Not the most pricey one but one of the ones that I wanted the most PURELY because of his variety on the pitch. Other than *MAYBE* CB, you can play this guy in any position on the pitch which is the best thing to have untradeable in your club. Considering his in-games and that 4* 5* combo, thought that giving him a chance in the front 3 wouldn't be a bad shout, and it wasn't.

Played him as a left ST, next to Zaha. CRAZY GOOD. After giving him a Finisher Chemistry Style and playing Cancelo on 10 chem, this guy was crazy in every possible way. Because I have Coutinho and Zaha as the skillers in my front 3, a 5* wf player was what I NEEDED for the team and this guy is exactly it.

FAST, insanely responsive with a Finisher, with that Unique Body Type, even considering his height, good skill move executions, no heavy touches ever. Inside the box shots not the most consistent, but go in more often than not. 81 Finishing for a base stat is not the highest but it is good enough to score almost every high percentage shot BECAUSE of his shot power and boost from Finisher. Outside the box shots are crazy good. Not going to talk about the ability to go either on the left or right in the box or even taking Finesses with either foot. Stamina: nothing to say, 99 stamina is easily noticeable and perfect to be able to use move this guy to other positions to give space for the super subs. Feels stronger than 80 strength because of that body type and height and very good aggression. Almost never fails to deliver a pass, unless from very bad angles or they are low percentage passes overall. Defending when putting pressure up top is so good. Tall and strong to be able to intercept passes, with the bonus of high base defending stats, WITH that huge pace stat. Best part being that he most likely won't run out of stamina.

Lacks consistency with the tougher shots in the box.

5* skills: I'm just being picky at this point. Nothing really to complain about so I tried to be a little more judgy.

Aerial Presence: gets out headered quite a lot by shorter guys.

Cancelinho

I got him in my reds, I was so happy and many of you will be. Cancelo is the perfect card for the meta right now. Let me cut to the chase:He is so versatile, from a b2b in the 4321 to a rm in the 352. He can do it all. I know you are getting him for your in game 352, aren't you? Well, he is the perfect player for that.He feels good on the ball, nice as a b2b. I have a fin...

Concelo Review

NO ONE CAN SAY THERE IS A BETTER FULL BACK AT THIS TIME THAN CANCELING, EITHER IN REAL LIFE OR ON THIS CARD!Spending close to 1 300 000 for a player that in a while may be worth a lot less may seem crazy but I really needed a player of this class for my team and I do...

João Cancelo

Most balanced RB in the EPL!

This review is based on the early stage of the game, I'm comparing him to other fullbacks I've used and played against such as Cuadrado, Bissaka, Navas... Firstly Cancelo does not feel like a fullback at all, he feels extremely responsive and passing and dribbling is surprisingly good. The 4* 4* along with his good technicals makes him hard to stop for opponents I'd often use him to drift into midfield and dri...
