This must be a joke, I just finished the evo chain on the 90 r9 with strike force, putting him to 97 with loads of playstyles, I open one of the objective packs, and I get this r9 untradeable. I am happy but at the same time a bit annoyed if that makes sense

I was thinking the same but the game is almost over, and I don't think it could get much better than this version, but up to you if you want to wait!

If you preorder you can do this amazing chain : https://www.futbin.com/25/player/56374_481_505_502_493_491_503_496_498_497_501/ronaldo-luis-nazario-de-lima

Everybody who packed him originally did the strike force evo on him, making him untradeable, so he's very rare on the market, and his potential with evos is insane, plus it's r9 and it's an amazing card. I currently have him on a chain with strike force -> tiki taka + -> 99 sho -> 96 dri -> driven prodigy, added basic PS pinged pass and incisive, and will add the low driven+ too. he's right there with the best strikers in the game

Anyone who doesn't like this card because he doesn't have quickstep really doesn't know how to play or how to have fun. First of all he can totally speedboost if you do it properly, but he doesn't need to, he's so jammy when you dribble or use technical dribbling that it's impossible to tackle him, he's got the 2 best shooting gold ps+, and tiki taka + incisive to set up other strikers, he's just pure joy, but if you only need speedboosts why do you even use Henry etc, just pick up a gold mbappe and force speedboosts in your div 8

Agreed but he also is very good in a two striker formation, you put both strikers on advanced forward but put him on "support" and the other one on "attack", I find him best suited there rather than running behind defenders

damn that's clever, I regret putting anticipate and bruiser on him, I thought they would eventually release most evos with 4ps+ allowed, oh well I hope those who can still do this will enjoy this beast

I think it depends which cards. Son and VDV may increase because people will want them in their futchamp team, but the others will probably drop tonight because lots of packs will be opened for liga TOTS. I still think it's worth waiting a bit

I packed him when he came out and he never left my team since then, he's extremely reliable, can score with both feet, crazy finesse shots, great speed to beat defenders, always smooth dribbling even in bad gameplay, and he is surprisingly physical too. One of the best LW imo, his price is a steal

I play on 90 depth and he's at around 65% by the 80th min, if I'm suffering I'll sub him off, or if it goes to extra time, but otherwise you're fine.

He's really good, even if you already have a top striker he is a really good sub for the last few minutes, worth the sbc with all the tots fodder we get

yep, been using both for weeks, best midfield duo you can get right now, gullit holding rodri DLP, they just boss the pitch like 2 giant bullies

How?? I score everytime with his low shots, just tap the shooting button it's a guaranteed goal

90 r9 with Strike Force evo

If all you do is speedboosts and trivelas, you don't need him. But if you like to dribble and have fun, he's the man

I've been trying him as CB and he's the only one who can catch up on speedboosts from henry etc, he's really good. Only flaw is sometimes you can tell he doesn't have bruiser, if you're shoulder to shoulder for instance he doesn't have the ability to shove, but if you know how to jockey and time your tackles he's on par with the 2M+ defenders on the market for sure

Playing him false9 in a 442, he's ridiculous, perfect one-twos, glides on the pitch, and once you get in anywhere near the goals just tap shoot and it's a guaranteed goal, feels like I'm cheating, he scores 3-4 goals per game even against really good players

It took me a while to learn how to use him too but he is really consistent, what I love is how people expect me to cut inside to finesse with the right, and I can just shoot with his left foot and score easily, he is a real threat, and his passing is very good compared to Mbappe etc

Man exactly the same feeling when I saw the goal, I would have done the exact same thing with my controller that he did irl lol

can we get Dybala from this?

You're right about the stats, but by the time you get the upgrade TOTS will be out and there will be better cards for dirt cheap

He's cracked for sure but man this gameplay makes it so hard to test him properly, 95 depth on these servers and I can't even get him to control the ball before he gets jumped by 3 defenders. It always makes me wonder what's the point of buying these cards

The roles do that : playmaker, classic 10 and shadow striker will make your CAM central, only Wide Half will make him play on the wing

yes but no

The gold one can go through Birthday Finale first, it gives it a lot more good playstyles. What's the point of the dynamic anyway most of the time the UI in game is bugged and it shows the regular face

Looks nice on paper, but if you've done evos like that before you know how he'll actually be in game

Yes, it's ridiculous, she doesn't have the shadow striker role, yet I played her shadow striker and she's immense, she's always making perfect runs. I use engine but I think it doesn't matter much to be honest, she's just there when you need it, and finishing is top tier.

I play her as a lone CAM on SS, and I preferred incisive/tikitaka to trickster for that position, she's immense, even without the role she's always in a good position, making the runs, and her through balls are amazing, it really changes everything

dont care what the say, this is the sexiest card I've ever seen

He isn't bad as shadow striker, he finds good positions and his shots are good, but against the press meta and good defenders you start to feel his lack of passing playstyles, I think he's more valuable as a striker

If you want a playmaker CAM that consistantly links up with strikers, she's the one and only best option. Cruyff or Maradona are a bit more prolific for scoring goals, but as a pure playmaker there's not a better a card than Putellas right now, she's got everything

Icons + araujo

Yeah, was hoping to sell him and replace with Yaya but he's just too good

I actually did test options and I think the answer is "basic". It keeps him lenghty while boosting all the important stats like agility, shot power, short passing, strength, and sprint speed

I thought he would cost 7M the first few days, it's an insane card

He's a bully in midfield, just stand in front of players and watch them panic, then win the ball and just shield there's no way he loses it. top notch passing too, he's expensive for this position but he's definitely in the top of the basket

After testing FS Cruyff, GG Maradona, TOTY Pele, TOTY Bellingham and TS Zidane, I can safely say she is the best CAM on Playmaker for 4213. Her ball control and through balls are consistently perfect, and she scores incredible finesse shots if you give her a tiny bit of space. Other players on that list have great qualities, but for that specific role she is the complete package, with the extra benefit of being able to press back and win the ball too.

If you're wondering why she went up 1.5M in a few hours, that's because I considered buying her this morning. Don't worry as soon as I buy her she will drop to her lowest price.

He is the best CAM in the game right now, beats the press with ease, Cruyff might be more juicy as a striker but as a playmaker nothing beats this Maradona, his finesse shots are deadly too, just impossible to sell him even if he continue dropping

Try playmaker and use him to slow down the attacks and force opponents defenders out of position

Same, I thought the difference would be minimal but it's huge, this card is beyond cracked for me as a CAM, his finesse shots are ridiculous

It's a crazy card but do you think there's any chance he'll be around 8M? On the basis that people can still evo the free one to a close enough version?

I play him with engine cause I like that he can quickly change directions, but if you use him more in the box hawk might be better for you

I can see why people who bought him for this price and expected immediate results can be disappointed, but trust me take some time to get used to him, he is unique, he's got that special juice like the mbappe cards, he'll phase through defenders when you need it most, or tackle back after a ball lost out of nowhere, and once you master the way he can twist and turn you will make defending a nightmare for your opponents

I'm sure he is, he's immense, just want to try out the best cards, game is pretty much dead anyway

I did the sbc because i had a ton of untradeable 89+ and he cost me nothing, he is amazing, but not 4M worth amazing. Get the regular gold who's already fantastic and use your coins to get more fun players around him

Same, wanted to sell TOTY Pele to try this Cruyff but his price isn't coming down, guess he's quite rare in packs

He just came out, not much supply, by the end of the promo they'll probably have much closer prices as they are pretty similar in quality

People are also missing the point that with trickster+ L1 agile dribbling is a lot smoother, it makes a big difference in the box. That being said even with a full sbc pile of 89s it's still expensive

my guess is that he will require loads of high rated teams considering everybody has stacked sbc storage with the 82x20

Ended up selling toty Saliba too for her untradable, this game is so weird man, Saliba has evertything to be exceptional on paper but he was getting pushed to the shoved like a baby by players with 60 strength, or failing to properly tackle a player right in front of him. It's a shame but if the game is going to be messy like that might as well spend the coins on fun attackers

Don't listen to the robots who can only reply "skill issue" here, he is indeed better at CAM. Not that he's not exceptionnal as a striker but there are more suited players there. As a playmaker he is fantastic.

Decided to test him just to have fun, he is amazing as a playmaker, he feels like a proper 10, all his passes are beautiful and he's got that special aura thing you can't explain. There might be more meta options there but he is very fun to play with

Guys what do you recommend, I packed her untradeable and already have rush mbappe untrad, should I play a 2 ST formation, play her on the wing, or straight up replace Mbappe? I feel like she'd be wasted on the wing and mbappe is kinda hard to put on the bench

So glad I didn't sell my precious club legend for this useless evo

He was already class before the patch but now he's just so filthy, I'm making all the AI defending kids ragequit cause they don't know how to stop him, game is fun again finally

I personally prefer incisive+, he already glides on the pitch anyway, it's nice that all his through balls are perfect

If you play a formation with 2 cdms, try him on Deep Lying Playmaker but with "build up" instead of "defend", he is just everywhere on the pitch, harrassing opponents and finding gaps, I know it's not the best time to spend coins with toty around the corner but this card is really amazing, completely changed my team

Agree with you, it took me a bit of time to get used to her, she's quite different to her base icon card, I would add in her cons that she does get pushed over quite easily by all the Saliba Konate VVD etc, but if take a touch away from the defender she can turn fairly quickly. I agree also Engine works best on her, she really benefits from the agility and passing boost. My advice to anyone trying her out is to not force things with her, don't try to do everything alone, just let her be, she'll be in the right place at the right time and she'll score more often than not

You guys are like robots that's all you have in your vocabulary, I'm div elite and get 13 or 14 most weeks, got 15-0 twice this year, I have a stacked team, I didn't say she was bad I just said I expected more from this card, I'm still slaying don't need you

I don't know why I just can't get the best out of her, got her untradeable and tried to play her next to Mbappe but she gets bullied by any defender, and apart from her speed boost she doesn't offer many options, I guess she is too similar to Mbappe in terms of what she brings, her finishing is top notch but at this stage I'm not sure she's top tier, plus having 2 advanced strikers upfront is a recipe for continous offsides

I'm confused how is this card mid? He's got 90+ everywhere in defense and physical, decent enough pace, good passing, good body time, great roles and one of the most broken playstyle + in the game for a midfielder. He isn't end game by any means but it's a really good card

I use wide playmaker on him as LM in a 442 and he's just always in good position making crazy runs or getting unmarked. The role++ thing this year feels stupid but you don't really have a choice if you want to make the best of each player

I got lucky in futchamp rewards and had the coins to buy a top LM, was reluctant to pay this amount of coins for Ribery but decided to give him a try. What the f is this card? It's so cracked, I'm running through defenders like they're not even there, it feels like cheating. Some games I'm getting completely dominated but I just need to do the technical dribbling with him and no one can tackle him, then shoot any way I want and it's a goal. I feel so dirty using him, he's the definition of pay to win. If you have the coins to buy him definitely give him a try you'll be amazed

dalglish is great but his passing is irritating. Di natale is much more reliable

442 works well with a false 9 in my experience, it solves the problem of having your strikers too close to the defenders on the build up, and opens up gaps either for his finesse shot or for a run in behind from your other striker

What do you mean? It's the best CDM in the game, he's got top stats in every area, great PS+ et roles. His gold card was already immense but brought down by its very low pace. This card is insane.

I thought futbin comments were exaggerating with his power shots but holy F they were not! Got him in the first icon pack and barely used him but recently re-did my team and found a spot for him in midfield, and his long power shots are absurd, they always go top bins, sometimes the keeper doesn't even move! It's such a benefit for the team as well because once the opponent gave you enough space to score one, they become terrified of him and start pressing with their defenders, opening all sorts of gaps in their defense. Now I understand his price

This card is different, I finally got enough coins to buy him and he's just special, feels incredibly fast and I usually dislike Poacher because of the offsides, but Butra makes those perfect cutting runs to stay onside and beat the defense, it's the first time since I started playing EAFC25 that I can consistently find through balls for a strikers. And of course when you're through with him you can just shoot any way you want it's a goal. I've had so many ragequits this futchamp with him, I feel like I'm cheating

I just checked and he isn't, only gets sold below 800k, it's just there aren't many on the market so futbin shows the last ones that didn't sell at full price, but he wouldn't be bought for 1.3M even if there's only one on the market

I've used him for a long time now and he was great for a while, but now in div elite his biggest flaw (his pace) is starting to show, he doesn't track back fast enough to help out the defense, so I often find myself having to use my CBs earlier than I would have wanted and that's where I get in trouble. It's a shame because everything else is great about him, his passing, composure, etc are all amazing, but unfortunately he's become a liability against more skilled opponents who can skip my midfield with ease

I'm not a top player just div 1 and 10-11 wins in futchamp, but after 134 games my Torres scored 256 goals, he's just insane, even when I feel like I struggle to create chances he somehow gets goals. His finesse shots are ridiculous, even with his left foot. Top tier striker for sure, his price has gone up since I bought him but I don't think I could replace him anytime soon

If you like to play behind defenders use Hunter, if you like to build up with him and hold off defenders use marksman!

The combination of his stats playstyles and role make him so broken in game, I don't think you can get a better striker in the game without spending 2M. He has everything, pace, bodytype, agility, shooting, trivela, finesse, chip shot, headers.

I told my friends I was going to buy him today, and his price instantly shot up, literally the highest he's ever been. It's like the market knows

If you give him the target striker role he makes such good AI runs, he's always in a good spot, and pretty much every shot is a goal with him. I don't know if he's worth the price I paid for him but he is definitely a top tier striker under 1M

she has really good playstyles and a lot of pros use her making it a popular card for less than 50k

I wasn't planning on doing it, but I tried his loan card and he felt phenomenal, I didn't know you could score so easily with a player. Still quite a lot of fodders to use on a single card, I'm still not sure if I'll do it or not

He's still immense for me as a balanced CM, his only flaw is he gets tired after half time, I usually have to replace him by the 60th min or so

I used both, and the Prime is definitely better, he has that extra strength that you can feel a lot, for me he feels very similar to WC Lucio. I don't know if 400k is justified though if you can use that money to improve your team in other areas, the mid is already really good

If it helps you, I have both him and Lucio WC in my squad, and they feel very similar. I had mid carlos alberto before and he was a lot less physical in challenges, this one is a big beast. I would say one thing though, because of his workrates he quite often steps forward, so you need to be good at defending aggressively, if you like to defend by falling back and waiting he may cause you issues, otherwise he is fantastic and so smooth on the ball it makes it very easy to recycle the ball under pressure. Top card for sure, but not for everyone

He started LB and I think that's what counts for IF cards. He then played in a 3atb when Carvajal got injured. If he gets an IF it'll be a LB card
