Again, this is a medium-tier player. Don’t expect to drop 50,000 coins on him and have him completely change your team. That said, he’s a solid enough card at a reasonable price. Once you slap a shadow chem style on him, he becomes a quite good box-to-box center-mid. If nothing else, he’sa shiny new cardto spruce up your team.
In all seriousness, EA Sports needs more of this content inFIFA 21. There just aren’t enoughmedium-tier SBCsout this year. Everything has felt overpriced because of how often they’re dropping Icon SBCs onto the community. Those are incredibly popular and cause fodder prices to rise to a ridiculous degree. SBCs like this are fun for everyone to complete and provide more casual users with a way to upgrade their team without buyingFIFApoints. Which is exactly why EA doesn’t want them.
