Can't get enough of this unique gem

Well, it's pretty simple: I've tried them all RM/RWs of he game (it goes without saying that this is a mere image) and none of them can reasonably compete with Don Luis Figo.

He is one of the very few wingers that gather all the crucial traits for FUT: he is (very) strong, fast, balanced and has a stellar shooting (especially outside foot, almost looks like a glitch...).

I honestly never had the opportunity to try out such a complete winger. He has an impressive composure, can defend decently and protect fiercely the ball when need. Unlike other wingers like Jairzinho or Best, Figo has a genuine ability to "make the game" alongside his midfield fellows: he can deliver silken long passes and deadly through passes into the box.

My feeling about Luis Figo is that he can contribute to every side of the game and not only to creation of danger in his wing. For a player like me that rarely rushes straight forward with fast players, this is perfect. Figo's wide range of skills makes it very difficult for opponents to guess where and when he'll hit. And it really never fail to: he scored 178 times and delivered 186 assists in 307 games for me...

He is surprisingly strong, which makes him take the lead when racing against very fast CBs/LBs if you manage to find him some wide space to run into
He litterally never misses a shot inside the box and right outside the box. Try out his outside foot shot trait, sit back and enjoy. He can almost curve a shot into the net from the corner flag with his right foot. Only Pirlo's outside foot is better IG
He can contribute widely to the tactics of your team. I play him most of the times with Benzema as a CF and these two are literally everywhere: the build the attacks fast, they cut the opponent's passes, they harass the opponent's CBs in a very tricky way (brings some goals sometimes) and they also can make the magic work on a crazy shot. Figo and Benzema are very similar in this way: very complete and high-value-IG guys.
He is a smooth dribbler: 5 stars skills guys! No more comments.
He is Luis Figo, the guy who got a Netflix show dedicated to his transfer from BAR to RMA. That is a self-standing "pro". Honestly, I'm a Madridista and seeing Figo going into wild rushes wearing the RMA jersey is a daily pleasure.
Bonus: he is more than a decent header. I think he scored something like 20-30 goals with headers for me.
Another bonus: solid stamina, no troubles before the 80th minute.

Well, if I had to find something (but I'm really scratching here), I'd say that he's a player that is best in two situations : rushing wide on counterattacks and building with passes until finding the deadly one. Thus he is NOT a Dinho that could pull off tight tricks in small spaces, this is the consequence of his strength that sometimes makes him clunky in the trickiest situations. But it really is 2 % of the time.

Even his price tag is reasonable as very few wingers can offer what Don Luis Figo gets you.
