Detail Review

Pace

+ As Eusebio is an advanced forward, you might not feel much explosiveness from his acceleration, so his stepovers and knock-ons aren’t particularly appealing. However, his top speed is out of this world. Once he starts making runs for the ball, there is no use trying to catch him. (9.7/10)

Shooting

+ Undoubtedly the best shooting in the game as of now. Whether it comes from a close-range tap-in finish to a finesse shot from outside the box, he can strike it all with bullet speed and power, even during awkward chances where volleys are required. (10/10)

Dribbling

+ Eusebio's dribbling feels indescribably smooth. His dribbling with the joystick makes him almost impossible to dispossess, thanks to his top-notch agility and balance. His control over the ball is effortless; it looks as if the ball is glued to his feet during his first touches. (9.8/10)

Skill Stun

+ His ability to stun opponent defenders with his skill moves is incredibly reliable, with lane changes that feel instant, heel-to-heel flicks that are super clean and sharp, and fake shots that are consistently deceiving. (9.8/10)

Playmaking

+ Not only is Eusebio an insanely clinical finisher, he is also a very reliable playmaker, as he can drop deep to help connect from both defense to offense, moving left and right to deliver the best passes (9.7/10)

Weak Foot

+ With an optimal 5* weak foot, Eusebio can both shoot and pass confidently with both feet, making him super unpredictable, as he has the versatility to create golden opportunities even at difficult angles. (10/10)

Stamina

+ Unlike other strikers with a 4.5* stamina that tends to fade around the 75th minute, Eusebio’s stamina is surprisingly solid, letting him last a full match without tiring out or needing to be substituted and still manage to outrun defenders with ease. (9.8/10)

Physical

+ His physicality is super strong, as he rarely ever gets bodied or bullied by even the strongest defenders, making him able to not fall down whilst consistently holding off the ball close to him whenever opponents get near. (9.6/10)

Positioning

- His positioning feels underwhelming; he only dares to make off-ball runs once per match, and his said High/Medium work rates feel more like a Medium/Medium, causing him to go deep into midfield instead of being the striker he is supposed to be. (8.8/10)

Overall Rating: 9.7/10

Final Verdict

Without a doubt, Eusebio is the best ST in the game, with top-tier sprint speed, decent acceleration, and unmatched shooting. His dribbling is silky smooth with powerful skill stuns, making him a beast up front. However, his positioning feels unreliable, and he rarely makes off-ball runs. Since his card just dropped, he’s not very appealing yet and will likely get a performance boost soon, but if you want a goal-scoring machine who’ll last you half a year, Eusebio is the best option there is.
