Review
So is it worth it? For me, it's a no unless you're a big fan of the player or Everton. It's a fantastic card that will likely get many more in-forms throughout the season.
While the technical stats are superb, his pace is a problem that holds him back from breaking into the meta.
The 2-star weak-foot is also a bit off-putting and there seems to be more to lose from this card than to gain.
This SBC also costs a TOTW to obtain, which if you don't have in your club already, can cost a minimum of 10,000 coins.
