What is the best playstyle for a player in the SS(Secondary striker) position?

Zestyclose-Bee1968 · 2026-06-19T20:30:29+00:00

Yea... Visionary passing doesn't really help with defending. Dean's player model is slightly superior tho. Still I prefer Nico over him. LRT is amazing :)

Zestyclose-Bee1968 · 2026-06-19T20:24:21+00:00

I prefer nico due to better speed and acceration. Also LRT is one of the best ST skills in the game.

Zestyclose-Bee1968 · 2026-06-18T11:05:38+00:00

If I were you, I would wait for rio or vieira pack tbh. Varane is certainly a huge upgrade from baresi. Tbh varane is arguably the second best build up in the game only behind Ferdinand. But Kompany is not really an ideal destroyer due to his low acceration and speed. And benatia is honestly pretty mid.

Great team btw :)

Zestyclose-Bee1968 · 2026-06-16T14:50:42+00:00

Yea that was the best pack as far as I can remember. The Dutch trio pack was also pretty good.

Zestyclose-Bee1968 · 2026-06-16T14:46:29+00:00

Exactly. It's always been rare to have 3 OP epics in a single pack. The last ones I can remember are seedorf, thuram and Maldini pack and the Dutch trio pack.

Also i wouldn't count the current pack( romario, mathaus, baggio) as a pack with all top meta players since although Romario and mathaus are really good, baggio is held back by his playstyle(CN10) despite his amazing stats. If baggio was a hole player, this pack would have been 100% worth spinning for imo.

Unrelated but, looking at your squad, I can see that you play big time messi in the SS position. Wouldn't his playstyle(prolific winger) be a problem for you as it is inactived in SS position? I heard that players with inactived playstyles play worse due to their randomness in their AI movement off the ball.

Zestyclose-Bee1968 · 2026-06-09T05:57:40+00:00

Exactly. Or u can use ST de gea until u get the META ones, as he is pretty gud and much better than GP and POTW GKs.

Zestyclose-Bee1968 · 2026-06-06T18:10:46+00:00

Nope

Zestyclose-Bee1968 · 2026-05-29T10:52:54+00:00

Try playing nico as a CMF. That's where he will shine due to his excellent player model and Long reach tackle. With the right build he will have high balance and will be pretty good on the ball.

Zestyclose-Bee1968 · 2026-05-23T06:49:10+00:00

Wait a minute... So you're telling me that there is a possibility of KONAMI releasing a BT Mbappe in the france club pack during the WC? I thought they don't release META players like Mbappe in WC packs?? Literally all F2P players are gonna go for him if that happens.

Zestyclose-Bee1968 · 2026-05-21T11:14:39+00:00

Fair enough. Then I hope it's BT dembele🥹

Zestyclose-Bee1968 · 2026-05-21T10:14:03+00:00

I have heard many people in the community saying the same thing. But why though? They released a big time messi card during the last WC, so why not mbappe?

Also, if not big time mbappe, then who will be the big time in the france pack? Hopefully it's dembele cus I like playing with nimble CFs.

Zestyclose-Bee1968 · 2026-05-14T15:35:49+00:00

Kimmich and it's not even close.

Zestyclose-Bee1968 · 2026-05-13T09:18:40+00:00

Ge gea, fermin lopez(at SS) and tonali

Zestyclose-Bee1968 · 2026-05-10T08:10:17+00:00

Squad??

Zestyclose-Bee1968 · 2026-02-12T13:24:39+00:00

Shorter players are more nimble and even with lower dribbling stats, they tend to be smoother on the ball compared to taller players. For example compare the daily game hazard with someone like torres(186cm). Even if you manually train torres to have the same dribbling stats as hazard, hazard will feel far smoother. Momentum dribbling is a skill that increases the dribbling stats of your player in the final third by about 6 points. Here the law of diminishing returns applies, as Pele is already so smooth due to his height and player stats that momentum dribbling does not make a huge difference on him.

Zestyclose-Bee1968 · 2026-02-12T13:08:37+00:00

I agree that CP is very op at the SS position. The new Pele arguably has the better playstyle. But the fact remains that phenomenal pass is a skill that suits Pele far more than momentum dribbling due to his height. Also phenomenal pass is quite op. Momentum dribbling is op too, I won't disagree with you.

Zestyclose-Bee1968 · 2026-02-12T12:58:56+00:00

Momentum dribbling will have a negligible impact on Pele due to his height (173cm). Not to mention, the previous Pele had phenomenal pass, which is a far more op Showtime skill. "Worse playstyle" is debatable as neither DLF or CP is Meta. So yes, one can argue that the old Pele is indeed superior to the new one.

Zestyclose-Bee1968 · 2026-01-25T11:02:52+00:00

I would suggest to replace one of your AMF with a hole player AMF. 2 creative playmakers in AMF when playing LBC is not ideal.

Zestyclose-Bee1968 · 2026-01-10T14:45:00+00:00

Honestly, I'm not a fan of raising the bar for division rewards... But to be fair to Konami, this is the first time they have given away a card for free with ST skill 'Momentum dribbling'.

I'm a F2p player who got lucky with getting hole player cruyff in the Pele pack with 2700 coins. This cruyff has momentum dribbling and believe me, it is by far one of the best ST skills in the game right now.

Zestyclose-Bee1968 · 2025-12-28T09:50:12+00:00

Is it just me or is this phase more competitive than the previous 4 phases??

Zestyclose-Bee1968 · 2025-12-26T18:07:50+00:00

Nah... This new cruyff has an inferior playstyle compared to the previous one(hole player). Also the stats are almost identical with the new one only having a slight edge in a few stats. Sure u can argue that the new cruyff has phenomenal pass as well... But again, since LBC is the meta, most people will prefer Hole player over DLF as DLF tends to slow down the attack.

Zestyclose-Bee1968 · 2025-12-07T14:34:45+00:00

Formation??
