Player Review
92 - Icon
I crafted his SBC during TOTY grind as I had completed pretty much everything. I have used both his mid and his prime now and compared to his mid, his prime is a massive upgrade. There is significant improvement in his stats, but the main reason he is better is the H/L work rates. His movement off the ball is very noticeable and his positioning is one of his strongest qualities. He is a “right place, right time” type of player, I found that he very often pops up in the right positions when attacking which leads to goals. However, he does fall short in other areas. He does feel like an icon in game, just not a special one, and it felt like when I needed a moment of magic from him, he just wasn’t able to produce consitantly enough. Depending on your team, he may be a slight upgrade in quality, but he definitely won’t move the needle and is not a card I would be aiming for to achieve the best squad possible.
- Very good positioning, he is a goal poacher
- H/L work rates, makes good runs
- Decent value, easily craft-able
- Good links being from Portugal
- Very inconsistent shooting, he misses the target completely more than he should
- He doesn’t feel sharp on the ball, but he isn’t slow.
- Passing was average at best
- He doesn’t feel special in game
