The star of the half time make me realise they did have some calculations on stats even as a goalkeeper for their saves and performance. Why is it so hard to show the goalscorers and heatmaps after the match like PES used to do? PES also used to give stats like pass completion, shots and saves 🥲 It will make it easier for us to assess our team performance based on those stats...
Even when I make his reflex and reach by 100 points he can't seem to save sh*t. I prefer my spanish league selection courtois...Any points is appreciated
Federico Valverde has always been one of my most fav players as I am a fan of Real Madrid and his workrate is out of this world and this UCL POTW version is crazy good. If you want a midfielder that literally does everything, this is the card. Idk which crazy person putting his playstyle as a holeplayer but pls give him a raise
The first thing you will notice is how ridiculously fast he is for a CMF. He's everywhere across the pitch, wins the ball back, then immediately joins the attack. His engine feels endless thanks to his elite stamina, allowing him to dominate both halves from kickoff until the final whistle
Even as a hole player midfielder, Valverde defends like a second DMF. His interceptions, pressing, and aggression constantly disrupt opposition attacks. He's the type of player that forces mistakes simply by closing players down. I pair him with epic De Rossi and I feel safe.
Why this UCL POTW card special than his other versions?
Long-range shooting from outside of the box, late runs into the box through the middle AND he also automatically operates as RMF even I put him as right CMF and also a clinical finisher as he can shoots from outside and inside the box.
He isn't a flashy dribbler like Neymar or Musiala, but he's smooth enough to beat pressure with his speed and physicality. Once he gets moving, he's incredibly difficult to stop. This is arguably his biggest strength. No matter where you play him, he delivers.
This card is the definition of a complete midfielder.
He attacks. He defends. He presses. He scores. He creates. He never gets tired. If you packed him, you've basically secured an endgame midfielder (for F2P) who can compete with many Epic and ST cards.
If there's one POTW midfielder that genuinely feels like he has no real weakness, it's this UCL Federico Valverde. He's the kind of player you'll still be using for hundreds of matches, and this is mine after 600 matches later, a very decent stats.
What's your best and still POTW in your main squad that you're still using a lot even after so many epics and BT later?
