89 - Headliners
Have mercy, this is my first review.
First and foremost, I was lucky enough to get Vinicius from an untradeable pack. I've been using this card in my squad ever since.
Vini has now completed over 100 games with me.
I play the ingame formation 4-2-2-2 and have played Vini on the left as well as on the front.
He's definitely playable in either position and a nightmare for defense. Although I prefer to play him as a striker with Deadeye chemistry.
If you don't have some mastery of dribbling, the card becomes difficult to play.
He reminds me a lot of Mbappe, although in my experience Vini is more agile than mbappe but a little worse in the end.
His short pass is awesome 98 with deadeye. As long he plays as a striker the long pass won't show up pretty often..
Outside the box: his right is a hammer, his left is not the best option with 4 stars, but depending on the situation you can also finish with the left.
Inside the box: just pull it off, right or left hardly matters.
The positioning is almost perfect, I play him without any instructions.
- Pace 99... no comment
- Dribbling 99 Agility says it all
- Finishing
- Positioning
- Physicality
- Long Passing
Pace and dribbling is clear of almost everyone else in the game. His dribbling is too strong in combination with his 99 acc, this sets him apart to players like neymar ww, who got exceptional dribbling as well, but not when you suddenly try to just run past players. His shooting is broken sometimes, especially his outside foot shot (why I play him right strker), just shoot and hope to glitch past the keeper. Apart from his pace, he doesn't play to his stats. Real stats are: 99 pac, 96 dri, 89 sho, 85 pas (it's really good actually), 80 Phy.
Pace
Left stick dribbling
Skills come off nicely
Responsive af
Shooting (outside foot shot is broken)
Stamina
Passing
Meta but fun (other than mbappe)
Endgame
Will most probably get an upgrade
Expensive, but value for money is good
Headliners Vini is quite good. There is no need to write too much about him. He can run though defensive lines if played as ST, on the wings he is also quite fast. Dribbling is very responsive and inputs are registered even on bad match making.
Warning: If there is another Vini in opponents team he gets boosted too. Really you ask? Yes I say. If the opponent has a Vini gold in Teamor on the bench or any of the thousands lower versions (TOTW or SBC verion) the game does not differentiate between both. (thats why I rate him 3 stars)
Therefore you should invest in another more unique player as a lot of users have the SBC version or any TOTW. There are people having his Gold just on the Bench in case you face this dude.
Very good if no other Vini is ingame
Too much versions exist nullifying his superiority
