DeanWe went from daily defender SBC's to daily strikers, today EA dropped a 93-rated Flashback Angel Correa and what a nice looking item it is! Given how well Sorloth performed for me yesterday, the Argentinian forward has a lot to live up to!
This new Correa comes with the Rapid+ Playstyle and a large passing boost (+7) vs his previous item within the game, the problem is we won't be comparing him to his 88 rated inform, as his 85-rated Centurion item fits the TOTS Attacker evo and that 93-rated evolution betters this flashback stats wise.
You can check out the Flashback Correa here and the evo version here!
Correa was obviously given the lone Striker role in the team, replacing yesterday's player review star, Sorloth.
I went for the Hawk chemstyle which makes his item look pretty incredible with the 97 pace, 97 shooting and 90 physical.

How did he perform in-game?
+ 5* Skills
+ Pace & Dribbling, I may as well include these two together as although he is quick without the ball, with it...he is just as fast and that's thanks to his high level dribbling, in-game correa was very responsive and that made him so easy to use.
+ Correa's goal scoring ability was also impressive, he was one of them players who would take a shot and it look like it's lacking in power but would still end up in the back of the net, his trivelas were effective thanks to the playstyle+ and his general cross goal finishing was also really nice!
+ Passing, for most part in attack he can do it all...(minus the negative upcoming) his short passing and link up play was solid and even his through balls had their use, he was also capable of whipping in some nice crosses despite not having the overpowered whipped pass playstyle.
- Heading, this won't surprise anyone but he of course does lack in the aerial department.
Flashback Correa - Cop or Flop?
I'd stay straight away even though it's a good usable item it's certainly not a must complete SBC, there is a lot of forwards of this level in the game now and each week that goes by more will be added, I also much preferred Sorloth as my striker too and he's much cheaper than this Correa, that been said the price for the SBC, I believe to be fair.
I'm going FLOP just because of alternative options.
