André Castro

Superb goal vs Sporting CP

[RB7]

I just came back from the stadium and after I watched him vs Belenenses for the League's Cup I feel he deserves an update.
Balance higher to 77, he's getting chubby and stronger.
Response up to 77 too, he's not that bad there.
Agility could be 79.
DA 78 is too high, should be 77 and DS 75.
SPS and LPS up to 74 and Teamwork should go up to the high 70's too.

Updated.

He's been doing really really good. He's a nic eplayer.

[Fixer]

Needs many updates. This boy has been amazing me since he came. I can throw some notes like:

- He has shined mostly as an AMF, unblocking the attacking play of the team with the things I'm going to explay now. I think he could use It as main position.

-He's really underrated for attack. Intelligent, decent inside the box and always willing to get to the box. Imo he could perfectly be a 76-77

- His top speed Is a bit higher imo. He's made some good runs (Also with the ball wich I'll ask for too later) and showing decent speed. Imo he could be at 82 TS along with his current acc

- He's pretty agile, not that he's garrincha but he can pull up some good movements to get rid of defenders and he's pretty fast at hitting the ball in some situations too. Imo 84 could do It.

- His dribbling Is really good too. He's abl eto keep the ball close and run with the ball at really high speed. 83/82 to me

- He Is a yellow short passer for sure. He's able to send some really amazing last passes and he's surely a guy to look for for the playmake. He's also a pretty good long passer and I've seen him do good crosses and long passes to the other side of the pitch.
My suggestions: SPA/SPS: 81/82 LPA/LPS: 79/80

-His shooting Is one of his strongest points. He's able to kick the ball with an incredible and amazing strenght and fairly good accuracy. He's also amazing at volleying and his connection feet-ball Is great. I suggest these: SA/SP/ST: 74/85/79

-As for technique his first touch Is pretty good, he can be pretty classy but still haven't seen him in extremelly hard controlling situations. Imo he could sit at 83


Add *passing and that's It!

[Fixer]

I'll get sporting players updated If nobody answers. Just for the shake of accuracy.

[Xyder]

Go for it even if anybody answer.

[Fixer]

I'll get It done asap. Obviously, they're open for suggestions.

[BiG TeL]

He has Passing* but not the Card... Editor mistake?

[Xyder]

Fixed

[Fixer]

He could go back to Porto. It's still unsure If he's to be picked up by Sporting again. I hope so tough, he's an excellent player.

[Luisao82]

P. Bento called him to the NT. Has this guy any match fitness?

[PMC]

are there any news in Portugal about Castro being loaned to CFR Cluj? Apparently they're close to get him

[Fixer]

P. Bento called him to the NT. Has this guy any match fitness?

Played kinda often for Sporting last season, not as much as the previous and he was not that fit...but he's a pretty good player, specially on AMF position. Good middle shooting, not bad passing and some work rate. Certainly useful, Good signing for Cluj If they get him.
