Fantastic player, but . . .

By OldUncleFut, 19-04-2023

This guy is very complicated. I packed him untradeble and I was extremely excited to play with him, but he wasn´t quite what I expected.

He is obviously great, above any avarage player you could use. He has the shooting, the pace, the dribbling, good passing and decent physical. The problem is that sometimes he just doesn´t score what he should score. He misses chances against the keeper when he has tight angles. I personally never time finish, i hate it, so maybe that is perjudicial for the player, but the main issue for me is probably the fact that he has no shooting traits. If he had finesse or, more importantly, the outside foot shot, he would be automatic, but he doesn´t. Don´t get me wrong, his shooting is fantastic, but i think it doesn´t live up to the expectations you would have when you purchase Eusebio; you expect the best shooting in the game, and you probably won´t get it.

I haven´t used any other player as expensive as he is, but if I were to compare him to prime Jairzinho, i would personally say that Jairzinho improved my team much more than Eusebio did, and he is much cheaper. I believe Eusebio is fantastic, and fun to use if you have the card, he is an important landmark in football history and if you enjoy using those legendary players as much as I do, you´ll love to have him, but if you have the coins and want to sign the best st, i would probably go for something else, save a little for Toty Mbappé or prime R9 or just buy FB Jairzinho, because his price tag is just too high.

Shooting: He is obviously great, and he scores worldies, I play him with a Hawk chem style to take that shooting to the max
Pace: With Hawk is 98, and he feels amazing on a good run, not as quick as an Al Owairan, but very fast.
Dribbling: He is not the tallest so his stats do him justice, and altough his body type is not crazy for the moves, the 5 star skills make up for that a lot.
Passing: Is very good for a pure striker and helpful for the last build up of the play.

Traits: The lack of the outside foot shot is a downside on this card, it won´t make it unusable, obviously, but it will make him miss a few chances that make you think "Why didn´t Eusebio score that?"
Physicality: It´s not completely bad, i could even say it´s okay. I expected more because of the body type but being fair he is short so he gets bullied of the ball. He also doesn´t have that top aggression. Stamina is great tho, he lasts the whole game and even extra time
Price: You´re obviously paying the price for the name and the 5/5 but i honestly would go for something else if i had the coins, having used R9 only in drafts and loans, i would take the risk to say i like him a bit better, maybe it´s because of his animations, i would also go for Jairzinho for the price, he can´t play as a St for chem but if you can switch it ingame i think he could be better.

He's a beast

Yesterday i made that 88+ icon sbc, got him, i was actually happy since he costs nearly 3m and i wouldn't ever be able to afford him. Went straight into some matches and all i can say he is a beast. The shot power, the speed, the dribbling, the physical everything is on point. All i can say is that you should get him if you can.
