George Best

  POSTED January 01, 2000

George Best played as a winger, spending most of his club career at Manchester United. A highly skillful dribbler. Best received plaudits for his playing style, which combined pace, skill, balance, feints, two-footedness, goalscoring and the ability to get past defenders.

 How to play with him

Definitely one of the best RW in the game. His Premium card is outstanding. Fast, agile, amazing dribbler. But that´s not all, try him as a striker too. He can score and assist in any 2 strikers' formation. You can start him on the right and change formation to place him as a striker. His composure is high even in his Basic card, which assures he is insane passing or scoring. The only issue probably is his strength, but he turns so quickly that you will pass defenders easily. 

Cards Comparison

Beware with the Stamina of his Medium Card. It´s below 80 and that could be really a problem. Besides that you won´t find great differences between the 3 cards. Of course his Premium card is absolutely outstanding in every stat. 

Skills, Weak Foot and Work Rate

Right footed,4 Stars Skills and 4 Stars Left Weak Foot. Low Defending Work Rate and Medium Attacking Work Rate.

Prices in Previous FUT

By November 1st, his Basic card was about 1M on Xbox and PS, and 1.3M on PC. By the same time, his Medium Card was valued almost the same. This was related to the low stamina of his Medium Card. His Premium Card was released by mid-December and its price was about 3M on PS4 and Xbox and 5M on PC. By May his Premium Card price was valued at about 1.3M on PS4 and Xbox and 1.5M on PC. 

Background

The greatest player to ever hail from Northern Ireland, Best was a superstar without equal for much of his career. He was perhaps one of the most naturally-talented dribblers in the history of the sport, combining speed, technique, and an uncanny balance on the ball that forced defenders to constantly guess what he would do next.
