Player Review

What can I say about this player?

Imagine (with hunter) a card with 99 positioning, 97 finishing, 93 shooting power, 88 long shots, 97 agility, 92 ball control, 91 dribbling, 90 balance, 92 curve, plus fantastic passing in all his ranges. Add to that 5 skills and 5 weak foot, all the shooting traits and good animations... 

What have you got? 

A Neymar on steroids capable of shining on the pitch in any attacking position, for a fraction of the price of what the Brazilian would cost.

Now, how to use him? For my team, his best position is ST with "Dropping back to defend" instructions, within a 2 striker formation. This way you can easily find him in the CAM, CF or ST positions indistinctly and take advantage of his wonderful passing and no-nonsense shooting. 

Close your eyes, and press the pass with any midfielders, and Griezmann will receive the ball, dodge opponents and deposit the ball in the back of the net, or assist the unmarked teammate for him to do it.

To give you an idea, Griezmann offers me better numbers than Jairzinho 90 by far. His dribbling is better, his shooting is similar, and his passing is better.

Why is he so cheap? Because of his pace. His positioning is the best I've seen this year, his speed on the ball with the explosive trait is incredible, and maybe you can't get away from your opponents at speed easily, but who needs to run with Neymar even if he really runs a lot?

With this card I've got 3 goals and 4 assists in a single FChamps game, or several times 5 goals, and on average he's involved in 2 goals per FChamps game for me.

For comparison, he feels in-game like an average Cruyff or a TIF Neymar, but with more defence.

It should be cheating to use him.

PD I will say you 2 words for ending: Corner and Bicycle. If you catch how he needs the ball and what number of attackers is better, you will score with Grizzy half corners you have. 6 in 10 FChamps matches this morning. And yes. stats are trusted.
