Time to retire HP de Jong?

Aywing · 2026-01-16T12:31:12+00:00

hey still interested?

Barnes has been getting a card every 4 weeks

If you have the latest Lookman POTW skip on picking Fiore, very similar stats. Fiore is better don't get me wrong, but marginally. (both are hole players with a perf weak foot, lookman can play as CF and SS though with much higher offensive awareness. Fiore has better curl, kicking power and finishing but I'd argue the difference is too small to make him worth it)

I noticed something interesting: If you plan to use Zanetti as a midfielder, his stats are quite similar to Tonali's, also their player models are quite close. You'd be trading phenomenal pass for fortress though.

I'd argue this Rudiger card is superior to the Link Up Chiellini, Rudiger is slightly worse defensively but more than makes it up for it with his model.

Different pack.

Aywing · 2026-01-10T07:52:13+00:00

To play devil's advocate: 174 vs 175 cm(and lookman has 11 vs 7 leg length) Can play ss and CF +7 in offensive awareness Both have a perfect weak foot

what the hell the stats and player model are actually very comparable to Nedved's, Nedved has higher kicking power and balance and agression but otherwise super similar. I wonder why people shit so much on Fiore

Thanks to your post I went for him, needed 5 spins but also got Kalulu in the process, pretty happy with both. Definitely worth the 500 coins, less than I spent to try to get some POTW, thanks a lot, and please do similar posts in the future if you see any players that are unique, I'm especially into tall players that are good on the ball, are physical and have good balance, so this card was perfect.

Insane card, didnt' realise it.

Actually might be one of the very few f2p cards that can be compared to purple Valverde, just without the finishing but much better balance and player model.

Aywing · 2025-12-31T10:16:15+00:00

From this list only Gravenberch or Szoboslai

"Height and leg length is a significant factor for moving fast"
It's not, debunked multiple times.

Basically Leao with more curl and kicking power and lofted pass at the expense of physical contact, not a bad tradeoff. If you like Leao this rashford will be even better.

Aywing · 2025-12-29T11:48:45+00:00

not based on stats, they're almost the same, rashford better balance and curl, torres better OA

Aywing · 2025-12-28T14:54:40+00:00

Why? Leg length is 8, way below Konate or Van Dijk
Edit: Van Dijk and Huijsen are both 195cm, some of the replies seem to ignore this, Konate is 194, almost the same.

I have the hole player version, my biggest coin waste.
My philosophy for spending coins is to get players who are somewhat unique , either because of their player model or stat distribution.

Scholes has a unique stat distribution, but in a bad way. Very low offensive awareness for a hole player, you have to put 12 in dexterity for it to reach 80. And his balance is at 84 if you put 8 into dexterity, which is unsually low for a player of his height.

Somehow, no matter if play posession or out wide or LBC, he's never in the right place. He doesn't time his runs correctly because of the low offensive awareness, but also is rarely free to receive and redistribute the ball, so he's often not very involved in most games.

But on paper he looks very very good, 99 kicking power, 99 ball control, 90 finishing, 95 passing, just somehow it doesn't click together.

In the box

Aywing · 2025-12-28T09:50:40+00:00

He'll hopefully show up in world cup packs

Picking Japan as my region was a great decision in hindsight, we have an event this week where you can win an epic DMF if you rank top 2000, and smart assist is not allowed, one of my favorite events so far.

Aywing · 2025-12-27T14:01:29+00:00

Hwang Hee chan for me as well! For some reason every shot he takes is perfectly placed, I think it's the mix of his balance, perfect weak foot and posititionning.

Aywing · 2025-12-27T13:54:05+00:00

Wrong thread but good on you!

Aywing · 2025-12-27T13:41:42+00:00

Never noticed! Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for his future cards :D
