89 - Icon
So first of all:
Yesterday (Sunday,18th December 2022) there was the 88+ Mid /WC Icon Pack
I did the SBC with all I had and packed Socrates out of it
Asked some people in the DC if its a W or L and they all said L
WRONG
I played with Socrates 8 games in Rivals (3 were quits from enemies , 1 was a disconnect so 5 games).He made 7 Goals and 5 Assists (im Div 4,PC)
-Speed (with Hunter)
-Shooting (with Hunter)
-Passing
-Dribbling
-Physis
-Great player overall and definitely not an L if you packed him in that pack :D
-Defending (Hes a CAM so its normal)
-51 balance (didnt really need this)
I packed this man in the "88+ Mid or FIFA World Cup Icon Upgrade" and I must say he is very hard to use. It really depends on your Gameplay but I compared him to Götze and Donovan on CAM, both of them are better than Socrates. If you can handle the heavy stiffness with this man you could make him work, but for me he wasn't performing. Most of the time he gets targeted by defenders or DMs before he even gets to passt the ball, but when he does the pass is 10/10.

Power Shots
Positioning
Pace (takes a while to start running)
