94 - TOTS

3.5

Disappointed, but not surprised.

Hi all, I just wanted to share my honest opinion on this new Darwin Nunez card. When I saw his in games and weak foot/skill upgrades I couldn’t wait to try him out, so I did. I managed to pick him up for 920k right after his price range upgrade. As the title suggests I didn’t really get along with Darwin. Although his stats look unbelievable on the surface, his size, body type and workrates lowered my expectations and in hindsight: rightfully so.

Pace:

One of the most frustrating aspects to this card. You’d expect him to be rapid, but in game he didn’t feel anywhere close to 98 pace. A card like mid-Cruyff feels waaaaay quicker to me. This is probably because of the sheer size of him.

Shooting:

Darwin managed to score in basically every game he played in, but it wasn’t necessarily due to him being clinical in front of goal, if anything he really underperformed finishing wise. Similar TOTS cards like Zaha and Talisca seem to be more reliable.

Passing:

Absolutely woeful. I tried him in both a one and two striker formation and in both scenarios his passing let me down. His through balls get intercepted very often and his short passing fell short to my expectation as well. He was a liability on the counter attack.

Dribbling:

Probably better than I initially expected. Quite similar to the better CR7 cards and miles better than someone like Ginola. He manages to turn quickly but meta skill moves like a scoopturn and elastico flew quite far from his foot from time to time. Doesn’t have any glitchy animations like Mbappé or CR7. Felt quite similar in-game to TOTS Son and Talisca on the ball, which for me isn’t smooth enough.

Physical:

Just like the stats suggest, he’s a massive unit in game. Managed to outmuscle TOTS VVD several times and got to loose balls other strikers wouldn’t.

Overall:

If you like to have a strong striker that gets you a goal when needed: try him out. But do not expect him to be able to turn like a Mbappé or Felix. He feels too clunky to me, which made me get rid of him despite not losing a single game with him in my team. There are tons of better options within/under the same price range.

Shot power does feel like 99
Sheer size and strength of the lad
Stamina, man has 3 lungs
Runs in behind are similar to Mbappé’s

Underwhelming finishing
Weakfoot feels more like a 3*, similar to Gelson Martins.
Pace doesn’t feel remotely close to 98
Dribbling similar to CR7, without the animations
Dreadful passing
Workrates (drops back quite often, despite instruction to stay forward)
Ridiculously expensive

What a card!!

Got Nunez out of my 85x10 and thought he looked like an interesting and fun card, he did not disappoint. He has very good ball control and feels very agile and he is very very good physically and scored a lot of headers for me in the WL. Would recommend for anyone with any sort of budget because he is that good and he played like a card worth hundreds of thousands, quite hard to link but with an icon easy to get on 8 them a...

DarWIN Nuñez!

As I'm portuguese, every year I build myself a portuguese or Liga Portugal squad as my secondary team for whenever I'm bored of playing with my main one so, when this card was released, as a Benfica fan, I knew I had to get him asap and oh boy I wasn't disappointed. Even though he's tall and he has a body type a lot of people dislike, I found him to run really smoothly as he turns and dribbles very well and for some reason ...
