Jaap Stam vs Formiga in EA FC 27: which card is better?
Jaap Stam vs Formiga: stats, PlayStyles, roles and live prices of both EA FC 27 cards side by side.
Verdict
Jaap Stam's Ultimate Scream Hero is an 88-rated CDM who can also play at CB, set against Formiga's 90-rated Base Icon at CDM and CM. Both carry 90 DEF on the face, but they get there in very different ways, so the choice comes down to what your midfield needs.
Stam is the physical wall: 93 standing tackle, 93 strength, 89 PHY, Jockey as a PlayStyle+ and Bruiser with Aerial Fortress for duels. He has only 71 PAS. Formiga is the passer and ball-winner: 85 PAS, 85 DRI, Intercept PlayStyle+, plus Tiki Taka, Long Ball Pass and Incisive Pass, and 92 stamina with Relentless. Her 162 cm frame makes her far smaller than Stam at 191 cm.
I would pick Stam for a deep-lying destroyer who wins duels and covers CB, and Formiga for a CDM who recycles possession and links the team. Both are Evolution-eligible.
Formiga wins 26 of 38 attributes.
