Whether intended or not, UFL makes you smile when you consider the skill set of Vinicius Junior. The Brazilian’s “acting talent” is at the maximum level.
One thing is indisputable: Vinicius Junior has a lot to offer in terms of soccer. Whether it’s finishing, speed, or dribbling, the Brazilian is one of the best players in the world. Accordingly, his digital avatars also have high ratings in soccer simulations. This is also the case in UFL.
Together with four other players, Vinicius Junior’s item is one of the best-rated. In addition, his virtual qualities can be further improved by means of a skill set. Equivalent to the PlayStyles in FC 25, certain abilities can be assigned to the card – whether it’s crossing god or ball control.
However, selected players already have level four of a set activated by default – and that includes Vinicius Junior. But this is neither the PlayStyle “crossing god” nor “feint right, go past left”, but rather “acting talent”. This is primarily intended for offensive players and ensures that the opponent is more likely to see a yellow card after a foul.
In the community, this has caused a few smiles – but is Strikerz Inc. reflecting reality? There are frequent discussions about Vinicius Junior’s class on the pitch. But there are also frequent discussions about his performances when he throws himself to the ground with a pained expression after minimal contact. It is not known whether the 24-year-old was deliberately chosen for the maximum level or by chance.
Strong item that comes at a price
If you want to recreate reality in UFL exactly, you’ll have to dig deep into your pockets for the Madrilenian’s item. 242 million credit points and 200,000 reputation points are on the price tag.
Whether the prices are justified is another matter. But it is a fact that it is a top-shelf item. There, the card is at the top with four others. Both the Brazilian’s item and those of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland and Jude Bellingham each have an overall rating of 91.
