Shapesifters Camavinga - Spend or Swerve
POSITIVES & NEGATIVES
Positives
-
Camavinga has lightning pace, he has 95 Acceleration and Sprint speed and with an Anchor he becomes Lengthy with maximum pace and you really feel how quick he is
-
He has great dribbling, he does only have 85 Agility but he has a Lean body type with 90+ dribbling attributes so he feels very smooth and responsive on the ball
-
He has High/High work rates which are perfect for an attacking left back or even a left midfielder in a 352 formation
-
He has the LM as an alternative position which gives you more flexibility when squad building
-
He also has 4* skill moves, this is important as it allows him to do the skill move ‘heel to ball roll’ which is very effective
-
As he is French and from Real Madrid he is very easy to get chemistry on and he has a lot of links to meta players
-
(New Gen Only) With an Anchor chemistry style he can have a Lengthy AcceleRATE, and he is one of a few left backs who can do this, he is the only ‘elite’ left back who can be Lengthy
Negatives
-
Camavinga’s biggest weakness is his shooting, he has quite low finishing (79) and his Volleys and Long Shots could also be better
-
He has 84 Jumping, 80 Heading Accuracy and is 6’0”, which means he often will get beat when going for headers

RATINGS
VERDICT
Camavinga is one of the best left backs in the game, and probably the best attacking left back in the game.
He has a combination of great dribbling, pace and skill which makes attacking with him a lot of fun, also when given the Anchor chemistry style it changes his AcceleRATE to Lengthy and gives him 99 Acceleration and 99 Sprint Speed so he really can’t get any faster.
As mentioned his shooting and aerial ability are things which could be improved but all in all there really isn’t much wrong with this card.
Cost wise, if you were to do this from scratch and buy all the gold commons it would cost approximately 375K, which in all honesty would be a fair price for the card but when you take into account you can use the gold commons from your club and all of the packs, guaranteed Shapeshifters and TOTS player packs you get back it really is incredible value.
This is going to be an easy Spend, as he is one of the best left backs in the game which you can get at a really good price with a chance of packing some great players back along the way.
