0:01 What's the crackers? Welcome back to the
0:02 channel. Today we are checking out all
0:04 the free Showtime cards. Yes, all of
0:06 these players, Jordan Henderson, they do
0:08 have Showtime skills. You will be able
0:10 to get one for free. Bernarda Silva as
0:12 well. Robertson is there with Edge
0:13 Crossing and of course you have Ariel
0:16 Fort Marinos. These will be free on
0:17 Thursday. Don't make the wrong choice.
0:18 We're going to go through all the cards.
0:20 They will be available on the match pass
0:22 or the campaign hub and they are pretty
0:24 decent. So, we're going to start with
0:26 long reach tackle Henderson. Now, this
0:28 is his build. These are his main stats.
0:30 He's got really good defense as you can
0:31 see. You will need to train a couple of
0:34 skills on him such as weighted pass if
0:35 you want heading acrobatic clearance or
0:38 track back and aerial superiority. He
0:39 does have long reach tackle. Now long
0:41 range tackle is probably the most
0:43 overpowered Showtime skill from the
0:44 selection of four players. But that is
0:46 the build that you guys can copy there
0:48 if you do go for him, which at the end
0:49 of the video I'll show you my ranking
0:51 for these. But long reach tackle on
0:53 display here with Virgil van Djk. This
0:56 is what it is. It's an animationbased
0:58 tackle animation. That's basically what
1:00 it is and it's shown you there exactly
1:02 how it works. So, it is overpowered.
1:04 Next up, we do have Bernardo Silva. Now,
1:06 Silva's with flick. That is his build
1:08 here. Ball carrying and striker instinct
1:10 we're going to give him. And look at the
1:12 strength and attack stats that he has.
1:14 90s out the wazoo. Really, really nice
1:16 speed, acceleration, balance. Doesn't
1:18 have finishing these down as a creative
1:20 playmaker, so that's a small issue, but
1:21 huge ball control, dribbling, type
1:23 possession, and low and lofted pass. And
1:25 of course he does have visionary pass as
1:28 well going to 102 overall. Is he worth
1:30 it? I think he's one of the weaker
1:32 options of the pack. Yes, the passing I
1:34 mean you can do a lot of nice visionary
1:36 passing and a lot of low lofted passing
1:37 but I do feel like the passing at the
1:39 moment you do need to have a complete
1:41 player in attacking midfield and
1:42 Bernardo Silva can't really shoot. So
1:44 that's one thing to keep in mind. his
1:46 finishing is quite low no matter how you
1:47 train him unless you don't want to put
1:49 his speed and acceleration into the 90s
1:51 or you want to reduce his dribbling to
1:54 90 instead of 95 94 and 95 that is
1:55 obviously a personal decision you guys
1:57 can make for yourself but I feel like if
1:59 you're using a player to carry the ball
2:01 and length the play you definitely need
2:03 high dribbling very high dribbling if
2:05 you want to do it now also we do have
2:08 Brazil's Marinos with aerial fourth what
2:10 do I think of aerial fourth well let's
2:12 first concentrate on his defense stats
2:15 95 95 96 and 95 five. Huge tackling,
2:17 huge aggression and awareness and
2:20 engagement rocked up with Ariel Fort. As
2:22 I mentioned, do I rate Aerial Fort as a
2:24 Showtime skill? Not really. I'll be
2:26 honest with you, not really. And I do
2:28 feel that like strikers at the moment,
2:29 if they're going to win a ball, as you
2:32 see Wayne Rooney beating Virgil van Djk
2:33 in the air here, I know you'll say
2:35 Virgil van Djk is not going to win every
2:37 battle and aerial fort is obviously
2:39 going to be slightly different. But I do
2:41 feel that like even center backs like
2:44 Marinho, they will lose battles. I mean
2:45 aerial fort is one of these
2:48 animationbased or one of these showtime
2:51 skill based skills that I don't know
2:52 like a lot of people don't attack
2:54 aerally anymore. We'll get into that at
2:55 the end of the video with my final
2:57 ranking, but that's something to keep in
2:59 mind. Now, last but not least, we do
3:01 have Andy Robertson. Liverpool's left
3:03 back. Actually got quite solid defensive
3:05 stats. kind of reminds me of Roberto
3:08 Carlos attacking, but also 90 engagement
3:10 and 90 aggression for his defense as
3:12 well is pretty huge. The only stat that
3:14 doesn't hit the threshold is 84 there.
3:16 Edge crossing. So, this is an attack
3:18 first left back. If you want a defensive
3:20 fullback, this is not your pick. This is
3:22 not your man. But with the with the way
3:23 the game is at the moment now, that's
3:25 obviously you can bypass a lot of the
3:27 edge crossing or the visionary passing
3:29 or a lot of the animation based stuff
3:31 with stunning crosses or putting the
3:33 ball into really dangerous areas with L2
3:35 if you're holding that or stunning as
3:36 you're seeing here with auto swinging
3:38 the ball in. Obviously edge crossing,
3:40 pinpoint crossing, they will maximize
3:42 the benefit of swinging across in and
3:43 that just goes without saying. It does
3:45 help consistency and that is pretty much
3:47 why people do it if they're spamming.
3:48 But a lot of people attack on the ground
3:50 there. That's where Robertson I think
3:52 you need to be careful. Robertson could
3:54 be S tier. He could be the ultimate pick
3:56 if you actually play a lot of crosses.
3:58 But as you see here right in the 87
4:00 minute, this is kind of how a lot of
4:02 people attack is how I score this goal.
4:03 We pick up the ball here with Jabi
4:06 Alonzo who's our main creative force. We
4:07 hold the tackle off. We split it to
4:09 Wayne Rooney who's making the run from
4:10 AMF as a whole player and then it's
4:12 popped in the back of the net. Now I do
4:14 like his stats, don't get me wrong. He's
4:16 got really good defensive stats, huge
4:18 speed, acceleration. his kick and bar is
4:21 just one behind but massive stamina. So
4:22 you'll be able to get up and down the
4:24 pitch and equally play with a subtactic
4:26 as well which is always nice if you're
4:27 used to playing with a subtactic that
4:29 you can switch from a four to a three at
4:31 the back and push him into a left
4:33 midfielder. And I of course he also does
4:36 have a few nice stats. So in in like
4:38 kind of like final thoughts of this I
4:39 think Bernardo Silva is probably the
4:41 weakest followed by Marinos. Now I know
4:44 people will like get Marinos and say how
4:45 can you say he's weak? It's just because
4:47 most people don't attack aerally at the
4:49 moment. And then also on top of that, we
4:52 do have Robertson who comes in second in
4:54 this or third best. And then I think
4:55 long reach tackle Henderson is going to
4:57 be the man to get in this. If you
4:59 disagree, let me know in the comments
5:01 below. But this is my tier ranking. I do
5:03 think Robertson, if you play crossing,
5:06 right, is an S tier card. If you don't
5:08 have, if you're free to play these cards
5:10 in this tier list is not to be compared,
5:12 you know, as in if TM was on this list
5:14 or Patrick Vieira was on this list
5:17 comparing him to Henderson. Like Vieira
5:20 would be like an SSS SSS, like he'd be S
5:22 by 10. Obviously, there's not going to
5:24 be a comparison there, but a lot of
5:26 people don't have long reach tackle
5:29 cards. Henderson looks unreal. 90 speed,
5:32 which is insane. Really good defense and
5:33 can pass the ball and dribble and hold
5:36 and tie possession. very very solid for
5:38 a free showtime with long reach tackle.
5:41 It is insane. If you play out wide, if
5:43 you cross a lot of balls in and if you
5:44 want to vary your play, which a lot of
5:46 people are like playing possession now,
5:47 even going away from the meta, just have
5:50 a bit of crack. Robertson can be S tier
5:52 as well within these batch of four
5:53 players. Is he S tier in the wider
5:55 scheme of things with comparing it to
5:58 Roberto Carlos? No. And Marinios, right?
5:59 I know I'm going to get a bit of flack
6:01 for Marinos and Silva being a A tier and
6:03 a little bit below these two boys,
6:05 Robertson and Henderson. I just feel
6:08 that like 90% of people that I come up
6:10 against, they don't use the wings. They
6:12 don't cross balls in. If somebody's
6:14 going to spam balls, one single center
6:17 back that's aerial for such as Marinos
6:19 is not going to actually stop. It might
6:21 work for a game or two, but eventually
6:22 you will succumb to the spam because
6:24 it's just overwhelming at the moment.
6:25 But most of the time you're going to
6:27 have to defend the ball on the deck, on
6:29 the grounds. Um, and just when people
6:31 are keeping it on the deck, you know
6:32 what I mean? They're keeping it low.
6:34 They're not putting the ball up high.
6:35 They're not using target men. And then
6:38 Bernardo Silva, again, I just feel like
6:40 his finishing is slightly off. There's a
6:41 lot of players that have got really good
6:42 attacking stats. Unless you've been
6:43 playing the game for the last couple of
6:45 weeks, you're probably going to have
6:47 five, six, seven, 10, 15, 20 players
6:49 that have got comparable stats to him.
6:50 In saying that, there are no wrong
6:53 choices here really. I mean Henderson I
6:54 think is the top choice but if you have
6:56 five six like really good long-range
6:58 tackle cards if you've got five or six
7:00 crossers with edge crossing you don't
7:02 need to get Henderson and Robertson
7:03 that's why it's very difficult to have
7:06 every factor in this but on the surface
7:08 with these four players just being
7:10 compared in a compartmentalized vacuum
7:13 sample size this is my ranking of them
7:14 this is who I think you should sign if
7:15 you're looking for the best bang for
7:17 your buck Henderson and if you're
7:19 looking for obviously something
7:20 different Robertson but Marinius and
7:22 Silva can also do a depending on your
7:24 team, your tactics, your quality of
7:26 play, how good you are on the sticks.
7:27 But that is it. Let me know who you're
7:29 going to spin for. I will catch you guys
