90 - IF
At my first WL i`ve got rank 3 and packed this mad lad on my player picks. Since then, he is the most important player of my team by far. He is just too good and can do anything. Sonny turns very easily inside the box and because of the 5* WF he can be soooo unpredictable. His shoots are just BIZARRE, at least 65% of them go in, from every place he can score. Also, if you use him as a CAM he can perform really well because of his long shots, his finesse trait and his passing. Having a 91 stamina helps him so much to last the whole game, and this is just SOOOO good, because he is very decisive.
Pace
4* 5* Combo: Make him very versatile
SHOOTING: He can score in EVERY situation easily with his shooting. Unbelievable.
Passing: Can perform really well at through balls and short passing.
Dribbling: Very agile and good at the ball.
Stamina: Easily play the whole game.
Price: Comparing this version to the normal one, i think that the upgrade costing 300k is not worth it.
Strength: Not a big one, but sometimes he gets bullied of the ball.
He is insane, like realllly insane. I used him at left striker aside Chiesa in FUT CHAMPS and DIV 3 and 2 Rivals. His frame and height make him harder to push off the ball than I initially thought. Shooting is unreal, because of the 5 star WF especially. Gets slightly better shooting animations than CR7 himself sometimes. Shot power is RIDICULOUS. don't reference the attribute, its 99 regardless of the chemistry style. Especially turning around he can generate a lightning strike to the other corner of the goal with ease. Pace is more than enough, same with his passing. RARELY he feels clunky on the ball during bad gameplay, but It does happen every so often. Never runs out of gas, even in OT. He is 150k better than his gold card I guarantee you. Absolutely class player and is the best striker I've used all year. Is on Ronaldo and Suarez level if not better.

I got him untradeable in a pack a few months ago and was excited as hell to use him- the best LW in the PL in real life, and a 90 inform for free.
Although his face stats and 5* weakfoot suggest that he would be a monster in game, sadly he's just not that good, I personally much prefer Mane' base card, and there are far better attackers for a quarter of the price in other leagues
Attributes
Pace- Feels quick but not rapid in game on hunter- strange since his pace is 99 on hunter but many other players feel a lot faster to use.
Shooting- Shooting is superb, he's a fantastic finisher from just about anywhere, longshots, finesse shots, you name it he can do it to perfection and the 5* weakfoot is HUGE. Sadly though, this is really all he can do to a high standard.
Passing- Passing is good but not amazing, short passes are fine but long passes are a no go, again there are other attackers out there that are much more well-rounded and don't have these problems
Dribbling- Really not that good at all. He's an awkward player to use, as even on engine his dribbling is clunky and somewhat unresponsive- he takes too long to turn and feels clunky to use, so you can't fully take advantage of his exceptional shooting since he isn't able to work himself in to good positions often enough
Physicality- Despite being clunky at dribbling, he's not strong either and can get bullied off the ball by good defenders pretty easily- so he doesn't really have a set style- he's not a slick dribbler like Fekir or Ben Yedder, but he's not a physical forward like Haaland either- it leaves him in an awkward territory where he doesn't really have a 'thing' that he does.
Defending- Not really that relevant for a forward but much better at defending from the front than most attackers I've used. Heading is bad.
Overall
Sadly since I love Son, I really wouldn't recommend this card at all. the only reason he isn't 50k (currently 170k) is because he's premier league. He is too clunky to be a slick, Fekir type forward, but doesn't have any physicality at all so that leaves him in an awkward position where he doesn't really have a thing at all. Shooting is superb and pace is good but that's just not enough if his lead-up play is bad, having used Mane, I'd say go for him over Son since although his shooting isn't anywhere near as good, at least he can actually create chances for himself or other attackers, and he's 120k cheaper. Spend your money elsewhere.
