Future Stars Vitinha - Spend or Swerve

POSITIVES & NEGATIVES

Positives

• A brilliant box to box CM, great offensively and solid defensively

• Superb dribbling and he has a Lean body type

• Great passing, he has 92 Short Passing and 90 Vision

• High/High work rates, which is ideal for a Box to Box CM

• 4* Skill Moves

Negatives

• 3* Weak Foot

• He is quite small and has 77 Strength which makes him quite weak in game

• Poor aerial ability, but this is also expected as his is only 5’8”

PLAYER COMPARISONS – IS HE BETTER THAN? (Ligue 1 CMs)

Centurions Verratti – 667K

• Verratti is better choice as Vitinha only has better Shooting

• I would choose Verratti as he has better attributes in most areas apart from shooting, and also has a 5* weak foot compared to Vitinha’s 3* weak foot

TOTY Honorable Mentions Fofana – 164K

• Fofana is better defensively, but Vitinha is far superior offensively

• If I am looking for a box to box CM I would choose Vitinha, for a defensive midfielder I would choose Fofana

WC Phenoms Guendouzi – 151K

• Guendouzi offers a bit more defensively, but overall Vitinha is a better choice

• I would choose Vitinha as he has much better offensive attributes and only a little worse defensively

OTW Renato Sanches – 725K

• Sanches has better physical attributes, but Vitinha is better is most other areas

• I would choose Vitinha if I needed a more offensive CM, but if I needed more defensive ability I would take Sanches

RATINGS

VERDICT

Vitinha is an incredible attacking CM, his dribbling and passing is superb, he could also be a great CAM, but his 3* weak foot concerns me, but you might enjoy him there.

He does have good defensive attributes however due to his size he doesn’t seem to intercept too much and often gets beat on strength.

Overall this card was brilliant for me, a lot of fun to use and very reliable. If you play him as a B2B CM just be sure he has someone more defensive around him. For me he’s a SPEND!
