His performances helped transform Newcastle United from a mid-table contender in the Premier League to qualifying for the Champions League in his first season at the club.
Now in his second season, he bosses their midfield in the group stages and with that Bruno Guimarães has his UCL Road to the Knockouts SBC available in EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Team now!
The Brazilian midfielder’s SBC is extremely expensive, coming in at a price of 266.2K coins and needs 4 segments to unlock the card.
He has some absolutely incredible stats and characteristics such as:
- 74 Acceleration and 77 Sprint Speed with the potential of having the Controlled Lengthy AcceleRATE will make him fairly fast over long sprints
- He has good outside of the box shooting with 84 Positioning, 84 Shot Power and 83 Long Shots with the Trivela PlayStyles
- Incredible ball distribution with 89 Vision, 90 Short Passing, 88 Long Passing alongside the Incisive Pass and Long Ball Pass PlayStyles
- He is very good on the ball with 85 Balance, 87 Reactions, Ball Control and Dribbling, and 89 Composure with the Press Proven and Flair PlayStyles
- Solid defensively with his big frame, 86 Interceptions and Standing Tackle, 82 Defensive Awareness and 81 Sliding Tackle
- 81 Strength and 87 Aggression means he will have a good chance of winning physical duels
- 90 Stamina means he won’t need to be substituted for 80+ minutes
- High/High workrates are good for a box-to-box CM
His ideal position in game would be as the defensive CM in a 4-4-2 or a 4-3-2-1. His playmaking abilities and dribbling going forward while his high defensive and physical stats to retrieve the ball make him perfect for this formation.
He has a similar player profile to that of Base Hero Yaya Toure and UCL Road to the Knockouts Konrad Laimer. He isn’t as good as Toure, has more drawbacks but is also a fraction of the price. Laimer at the time of writing this article is extinct at 190K which isn’t far away from the SBC price.
The card does have a few drawbacks such as:
- 78 Finishing means he might miss easy chances when he does get into the box
- 79 Agility with his height means he will be a little clunky
- 79 Jumping with 66 Heading Accuracy makes him really poor in the air
- 3-Star Skill Moves and Weak Foot are a little underwhelming
What Chemistry Style to use for UCL RTTK Bruno Guimarães?
The suggested Chemistry Style for UCL RTTK Bruno Guimarães is: ANCHOR. The combined boost in Pace, Defending and Physicals not only enhances his qualities, on full chemistry it also gives him the Controlled Lengthy AcceleRATE.
UCL RTTK Bruno Guimarães: Complete or Yeet?
I should look at this price on full release day and just chuck it out but the card is so good I’m forced to take another look. Newcastle United are in a difficult group, so his upgrades aren’t certain but if you take a chance at them winning, then for 266.2K you will have a solid midfield card. My verdict: Complete only if you think he gets the upgrades.
