87 - Flashback SBC
Neymar is one of those players in Fifa 22 that sticks out. His 91 gold card was one of the best cards in the game and I personally used him for months now. However when I saw this FB Neymar, I was a bit sceptical at first, but after a few games, I can say his FB is better than his gold.
Played him at striker with a deadeye because the FB seems more like a striker than a winger, therefore it worked perfectly for the gameplay.
WF/SM
He got downgraded from a 5* to a 4* which is the first downside of the flashback. That 5-star weak foot is what made Neymar, Neymar. However, it isn't the end of the world because it is still usable overall.
PACE
His 95 pace is one of the great boosts his FB card got compared to the gold card. You don't need to put a hunter anymore to up his pace like in his gold card - therefore
The 95 pace makes a huge difference compared to his gold. You can instantly tell his pace when he gets the ball and he is just a lightning bolt on the pitch.
SHOOTING
His +2 shooting makes all the difference compared to the gold. He can actually finish now. That was one of the problems I had with the gold. He could move in tight areas but sometimes he just couldn't score with his shooting. This FB in my opinion has better shooting, and he seemed more consistent with his shots overall.
PASSING
Of course, they had to downgrade something with his card to the gold. But honestly, his passing with a deadeye is actually not that noticeable with his gold. Therefore I wouldn't say much about it. However, it shouldn't bother you because his passing is somewhat decent but not as good as his gold.
DRIBBLING
Ok, unpopular opinion maybe but his dribbling is actually better or the same with his flashback than his gold. The FB dribbling compared to the gold is a -1. However, when you look at the in games, there's really barely a difference except the composure going from 93 to 85.
His agility and balance go up especially the balance getting a +6. Which makes him even smoother on the ball and more responsive. Now that is my opinion, others may argue otherwise. However, after playing with his gold for a few months, I can say the FB feels more responsive with his dribbling.
PHYSICAL
The physicals get downgraded on his Flashback, but really it doesn't matter that much because he gets a +9 on stamina which makes him a lot more usable.
Verdict:
This card is a MUST complete even for the ones with the 91 Neymar because he just feels better to use and can shoot. Plus you get a cool Santos dynamic pic.
However, I would only do it if you have the fodder and if you were to do it from scratch which is around 250k.
