Loading up the game after 2 months of break. Can't even login, stuck at loading screen. CTRL-ALT-DEL, reloading the game. Same ****. Reminds me again how completely dogshit this game and EA is.

If you desperately need a good B2B and have bunch of fodder, yeah he is worth the 2M. But then again, if you have Vieira TS and can wait, he will fit an EVO soon.

Okay, I did my CDM review earlier. He and Vieira are equally good imo. As a CM B2B he is on pair with KdB 94. It's basically a bruiser version of KdB. KdB has better passing/finishing, this one is has better defending stats. This is the best way I can describe this card.

PLayed a few games in champs and rivals with him. Had him next to Vieira TS to try out the CDM position. Nothing crazy special, they are both equally good. He has a hidden anticipate for sure. If you have Vieira on CDM with another good CDM then save fodder imo.

He has incisive+ but lacks the vision and crossing! He has jockey+ but lacks the CB/RB/LB pos! He has B2B++ but lacks the finishing and att.! He has holding++ but lacks any intercept ps.! For 1.2M: all you get is an icon with higher def stats than usual (w shadow on) with one defensive playstyle: anticipate. If you did this then you're just plain stupid. It doesn't matter if this card plays slightly above the stats. FC26 will have even more cringe SBCs because EA will use this year's SBC data. GJ!

Hahah just packed him but already has his 88 card. This one has no speed boost tho.

Good at CM, not so good at CAM. Abily is way better at CAM. Used both as playmaker and shadow striker.

have henry 93, wright 93 and now keane 92 dropped from 83x14.

Got him from a 90x4 pack. I needed a good LM, I was about to do Felix but then this guy shows up haha. The card is not as high as Ze Roberto or Hazard but does the job well. Currently using him at LW with a hawk chem on for the extra speed boost and attacking position. This guy outpaces most RBs with his spider legs. He can be a little bit stiff sometimes because of his length but nothing biggie. Worth the coins? At this moment, he is for me, the second best LW I got? Foden 93 -> Barcola 92 -> Bale 92 at LW, AND the best LM I got, so yeah.

Forgive my lord. I take back every bad word I said about this card. This card is (after the shadow patch?) absolutely broken. Div 1/Elite.

I have a ±25M team. Vieira is like, maybe 10% better than Zambo but also 10x more expensive. When you pay 1.5M for a card you expect that player to be good, not just their aura but AI wise too. Make solid interceptions, take away the ball automatically when close, etc. I have him paired with SBC Kimmich (2M) and that guy is really on another level. So far, this card does not stand out for 1.5M. IMO Save your fodder for now, only do him when he can get a solid upgrade. Atm he has No ++ roles as CDM, WF is still 4.... it's Feb.

what a waste of fodder. there is no difference between vieira and zambo anguissa or something or pisilli. cdm - holding

I have TOTY renard and Buo toty evo as in my main setup. I did Stam SBC and put EVO on him because people said he was too OP. Few things to mention: - He is clunky af and if you do him, put an agile CB next to him otherwise he is going to cost you games. - Disappointed in his anticipate+ animations. He is good but nowhere near Renard or any other high rated CB that has the anticipate+ as main ps. I think Stam toty EVO clears because that one has boosted stats in dribbling and passing. For now, he sits on my bench ready to replace renard in the second half.

how about you go try and test it for yourself and then make a conclusion?

Yeah you're wright. I have them both and somehow he insta reminds you of Thuram because of his bodystyle and same ps+. He is just a shorter, more agile version of him.

Quick review: slap an engine on him and he moves better than Mbappe and vinnie. That press proven is really nice to work with. As I said earlier, a premium version of 88 Thuram. Worth 2M coins? Yes if you want more agile version of Mbappe, Eto and Turam.

Packed him yesterday from champ rewards. Haven't played yet but stats look good. Looks like a premium version of Thuram 88 and Kolo Muani 88. This version of wright should be really good. Review coming up soon.

Packed this guy the last day and his AI is crazy asf. Benched my SBC Bale and 94 Wilson. His speed boost and r1 is cracked. Highly recommend especially because of his AI.

I take back my words: I would not pay more than 1.5 million for her. When EA fixed the gameplay, I think she got boosted as well. I tried Saliba TOTY yesterday in champs and I honestly there isn't that much of a difference between these two. Saliba is a bit stronger than her but I like her AI a little bit more. One thing that I missed with Saliba is the aerial +. Once you get used to it, there is no more going back. One big downside is that she's down to 50% after a full game. No relentless is a big miss. Defo worth the hype, even if she rises to 2 M.

Packed him unt. 3 weeks ago. 157 games played. 296 Goals and 90 assists. People ragequitting in champs and rivals.. I was used to more agile players with poacher as roles but once you get used to Henry....holy crap. I honestly feel bad for my opponents. This is one of those cards like R95 and R94 that can easily boost you to 1000 in Elite. Mostly using 4213 with him. 6 million IMO is a bargain.

cope what? this dude dominating the whole midfield for me. Elite div. imgur. com /a/WUDg1oB

RIP SBC owners? I think people tend to forget how this game works. Yes, your free EVO has better stats, skills and playstyles but this SBC is SCRIPTED in a different way. There is a reason why this card is at 2 million. Different AI. It's a scripted game boys. Get it in your head. It's literally pay to win.

his AI is dogshit at LW. misses even open goals.

So I decided to do him with De Bruyne. The reason these guys are priced so high is: they automatically defend for you. No other CDM besides Vieira (haven't played with De Jong's so IDK about him) does that. Anticipate+ is really nice to work with shadow. You're almost always in time for intercepting their balls. I don't use the long ball that often but I should, maybe I'll pair this guy with the new Schweinsteiger's icon SBC from Anders. The price is 2 m while offering a good DLP role as CDM or CM. If only had more roles or WF*5 I'd say he is worth it but then again he was 1.2 m 2 weeks ago.

This guy got buffed. Feels more stronger than ever. Theo 89 evo is on the bench rn. Carlos has prio becaus of dead ball and whipped+. If I think I need Theo I swap him during the game. Simple as that. If I play 442, Carlos is playing as RM along with ginola.

Cheers

You guys using him as AF or TF?

This weekend's gameplay is the worst I've experienced in fc25. Couldn't do ****, my players switching on and off. **** this company. **** this scripted game. If you're a EA employee then **** you too.

100% bro. She's on the bench this WL.

All the negative comments here are sadly true. This card is amazing overall, he has the best freekicks, corners feel different, his trivelas are out of this world but he just can't defend that well. I have DiLorenzo 89 at RB and everyone picks Carlos and goes through my defense. If you give him anchor, he is too slow (no lengthy). If you give him a shadow he is still too slow but also lacking physical and you need physical on him because he is only 160 cm.

Div1 here. I have Renard toty, cannavaro toty, marquinhos sbc and buongiorno. Buo is my favorite. This guy is like a **** wall man. Renard however, I don't know if she is really better than the rest. Sometimes she costs me a lot of goals and some games she performs like a real monster. Either she is out of position (maybe bc lack of intercept playstyle?) or way to **** aggressive and I get a red card. Maybe the servers just suck badly on Friday, idk. I have to give her more time. So far, it's OK. I wouldn't pay more than 1.5M.

I thought the price was too high at first because of lacking roles like CAM SS, BUT I play him at RW and I noticed that all you have to do is press R1 and bully Theo.

She is super good. I tried her loan and put a catalyst on her (cheapest for a loan). Damn she was crazy as a CAM SS. Insta completed her yesterday. She has some really really solid AI movements as A CAM. Complete her if you want a good CAM, for CM and dominating the whole midfield I would pick De Bruyne over her.

Packed him from 83x10. Holy crap, despite being only 93, this bad boy Henry with 20 playstyles benches every 94 striker I have. I haven't played Vinnie or Mb TOTY but I mean I don't really care anymore if I have Henry. This guy has some special aura.

Ok, I haven't had much time to test the finesse shots, also being busy doing Bale. His speed boost is insane man. You don't even need the technical playstyle, he already has a perfect body type for it. Few things to mention: Dribbling when taking off might be a problem sometimes because of how crazy the speed boost is. Either you can give him a finisher or a deadeye. I used hunter all the time. Don't use hawk, you need the extra finishing and be explosive all the time. Worth it? 1000%. Even if Theo is defending there, once they mistime their anticipate, you're gone. Diaby on cocaine.

Shame no CDM Holding ++

As of now, for me, this card performs better than Theo 88 somehow.. Using him as falseback. The only downside is that you have to bench him after 60/70 mins. His stamina is ass but EA did this on purpose otherwise this guy would be too OP.

Going to team up this one with Bale. The quick step + rapid while being explosive should be amazing. This guy has the perfect body type and not to mention his finesse curve at 96. Unfortunately no technical but not a big deal. Review will follow.

Thank god I managed to snipe his base card for 65K. Absolutely cracked asf.

You're welcome. I think it's necessary. The reason EA gave us a 93 GK for this price on the first day is because otherwise 88 GKs won't do much vs timed shots from 94-97 players.

Just like players, GKs play some games good, some games bad. Check performance after the games. If I had to rank: Casillas 93 -> Donna 90 / VDS 89 -> Schmeichel / Courtouis 90 -> rest. Buffon is the only one that I did NOT try so this ranking excludes Buffon. Casillas is very short, keep this in mind so you need to put him on GK defend. Make sure his diving is maxed out. This guy saved my ass so many times in champions last night. Easily the best GK I've used so far. Again, don't sweeper keeper or GK balance him no matter what and make sure to time your rush out right.

I play 4123 w him as solo div 1. But I know how to cut inside and shoot. LW is kvara EVO 91. RW is either sane or Salah. The pressure is insane.

People asking dumb questions like Diani/Voller or Griezmann as ST. You are comparing apples w oranges. Two different strikers. If you know how to play him then HIM. Otherwise go with two striker setup. Jfc.

Packed him. Running 4213 as AF. Absolutely cracked I tell ya. Even benched my Smith. No other player dribbles and shoots like him. What a joke.

Using him as holding CDM - ball winning. This card shouldn't be 20K. Absolutely cooking for me. Using powerhouse btw.

Have Kounde now at RB, so Zanetti moved to LB. Absolutely cooking there. Very agile compared to Theo. The only problem is his PHY. Could put anchor on him but you won't get catch the maxed out pace attackers.

I packed her untradeable. She is crazy good. Solid movements and fast with hunter on (what I use). I mostly used her as a solo striker (AF) and I must say, even with these crazy stats on paper, she gets bullied a lot by VVD or any good defenders. Females are just built differently. Best is to use her with two strikers. I also noticed I had trouble with Buffon 91. Then I put deadeye on her and almost every shot from distance went in but you don't have any pace so that's a big downside as a solo. I also tried Griezmann TR 89 and believe it or not, Buffon 91 couldn't catch 1 so there's that.
