Player Review

96 - TOTS
4.0
Quality attacker but don't expect miracles
By EdBennett, 15-06-2022

I've tried him out in a number of positions- as a RF in a front 3, as a CAM, or as a ST, and I personally think he's best as a CAM or Striker.


While he's a good attacking option- he has fantastic finishing and electric pace, he's not quite what I expected and imo doesn't live up to the stats. I also use 96 EOAE Insigne and imo, Insigne is leagues above this guy.


Pace

Pace feels great; very quick, no complaints here

Dribbling

Dribbling definitely does not feel 99. I've tried him on Marksman and Maestro, and I personally think Maestro is best for his dribbling, but whatever chem style he's on he feels clunky and somewhat rigid on the ball. Don't expect silky-smooth agile dribbling, expect powerful, fast dribbling. I personally prefer the former but his dribbling is not bad.

Shooting

Shooting is one of his biggest assets. While definitely lacking good finesse shots, he can pull off anything else to a top standard, and his shot power is so high he doesn't need finesse shots really.

Passing

Again, his passing is fantastic. Short, long, cross or through mall he hits them all perfectly. This is a really useful asset for an advanced playmaker, as it hugely helps with ball retention far up the pitch.

Physical

Largely good- he's strong on the ball and when on Marksman, actually scored a couple of good headers for me too. However, I'd say his good physical stats actually act against him since they just make him feel more clunky.


Overall

Overall, how he's down to a fair price, I'd recommend buying him if you need a winger and can link him. He's definitely the best RW in Serie A, and although this card does have plenty of flaws, it has a lot going for it as well. Fantastic shooting and passing and electric pace make up for the clunkiness in dribbling and actually offer you some different options with regards to where to play him in-game. For 105k he's a good buy

Berardi (fut champs)

After looking at several comments about him in conjunction with me playing him for 17 games in weekend league, I also noticed a weird heaviness about him, most likely due to him being 6 foot. I didn't like him at striker so I played him at CAM. His shooting and passing are exceptional, especially his long range goals. You can notice his height in game but I noticed him often striding past players in the midfield like Zidane...

Good ST option

This man is rapid and has amazing shooting. Hes more of a ST than a winger because of his height. The dribbling stats are not what they seem however he feels a bit more heavier than advertised but that doesnt mean hes bad. He makes perfect runs and has amazing timing. I would defo recommend him at ST for the price hes at.

Berardinho

To start things off, I want to say that I packed this legend and decided to try him out. I played him as a CAM alongside mid-Eusebio, and OH MY, his pace is electrical, and he has great finishing ability. But he may feel kinda clunky sometimes, and his 99 dribbling doesn't feel like 99. His passing is the best one I've ever tried on FIFA, he assists every game, through-ball, short passes, all of he is the best. His strength...
