Guedes 80

Guedes is a Gold card rated 80 overall on EA SPORTS FC 27 Ultimate Team, with the Real Sociedad, LALIGA EA SPORTS and Portugal links shown on the card. He plays on the left wing, though he can also be used at RM, ST, LM, CAM and RW. His standout trait is finishing from distance, with shot power at 89 and long shots at 82. His base rating rose from 75 in FC 26 to 80 here.

Guedes suits a wide attacking slot, most naturally LW or RM, where he can cut inside onto his right foot and shoot. Power Shot and Low Driven Shot back up that threat, and Rapid plus AcceleRATE Explosive help him get past defenders over short runs. His 4-star skill moves and weak foot make him comfortable receiving the ball in tight spaces. Watch his defensive numbers: defensive awareness of 24, interceptions of 50 and a face DEF of 37 mean he gives little back out of possession and needs cover behind him.

Guedes is for players who want an attacking winger or forward with serious shooting power and pace, and who are willing to protect him defensively. He is less suited to squads that need a wide player who works hard without the ball.
