Christian 'CHUCHO' BENITEZ

[Kubbas]

Birmingham's record signing, apparently in the region of £6,500,000 rising up to £9,500,000 based on other stuff, and thats a lot of money for a club like Birmingham City to pay for a striker who has only proven himself in the Mexican League. A lot of South American strikers don't settle in England, so obviously it is a risk. I don't think we'll see too much of him at first and the Blues fans are going to have to be patient however I think if he's given a while he could cut it in the Premiership. His goal record is decent, theres no doubt about that and has proven himself as a consistent goalscorer, but we have to bear in mind the adaptation process.

Explanations:

Balance: A rather inconsistent feature of his, sometimes he can be a real pitbull and show a good amount of strength however some other times he can play very weak, obviously he has a very low height and weight, so his balance needs to be higher anyway to compensate that, I've put it at middle-ground so an a 'yellow arrow' day he'll be fairly strong whereas on a 'blue arrow' he'll be rather weak.

Speed: Extremely quick and is real threat for opposition defenders when he runs at them with pace, his main asset is his acceleration though, as he is extremely quick off the mark and hits top speed almost immediately, he may not look as fast as making him out to be, but try it in game, his low height and weight make him faster than you'd expect .

Agility: His main asset really, he can very easily twist and turn away from defenders and combined with his pace and dribbling ability, make him very hard to play against. I think he'll surprise a lot of defenders with his quick movements next season.

Header & Jump: Rather surprisingly, he is decent in the air. Don't get me wrong, he isn't going to beat Christopher Samaba in the air but has quite a good leap and can header fairly decently.

Special Stars: He loves to dribble he is always trying to take on his man, very typically South American in this aspect also he loves to try tricks and I've even seen him do the flip-flap, in addition to this, the way he shields the ball with his technical abilities is also very good.

Here's a better picture for him


Do you not think he deserves dribbling*, His passing stats also seem to low.

[Kubbas]

Yeah i was thinking bout his driblling and you are right that it can go up

I think photo is ok

Woah is he really as good as the first post suggests?

[Shadowx55x]

'bout F'ing time someone creating stats for him. ive been asking about him for a year now lol.


in Ecuador his name is spelled Cristian Benitez. but we'll see how its spelled next season.

stats in the first post are a bit generous for me, then again, i dont see him on a normal basis unless he's playing for La Tri ( Ecuador )

[jmg721]

These two sets are quite different in a lot of areas...can we get a consensus?

[JuveJoffre]

He was better with WFA 7.

[N3KR0]

this guys looks like a monster, i think he will do something with birmingham.

[Ken]

There are 2 set of stats by Kubas and Jaga for him. We need a collab or maybe one of them.

[fishdalf]

Well the obvious thing from the first post is he's stronger than that.

[BigStu]

HIS SHIRTNAME IS CHUCHO

[Fides]

Anybody has new view on him?

[Paddy]

I'd prefer the 1st set.

[Rated-R]

I'd prefer the 1st set.

I also

Perhaps ascend a point acceleration, and a couple TS in my opinion should be not too far to Guerron, Bosingwa, Clichy, Wright Phillips is those stats

TS : 88-89
ACC : 90

Agree. WFF: 7. Uses both of his feet so well.

From what he's shown at Birmingham his SA looks a touch generous, he's been extremely wasteful this season pretty much everytime I've seen him struggling to show any sort of placement in his shots at times. I really wouldn't have thought there'd be a full 5 point gap with his strike partner Jerome. He really is frustrating, showing glimpses of quality one minute then being absolutely poor.

Any thoughts on raising his Aggression even more? He plays off the shoulder alot and is pretty much always the furthest Birmingham player forward ready to pounce on the counter attack.

[Jez]

I actually don't want to reply to this, because I am entering the rhelms of brown-nosing, but I must say, you're on a roll with your suggestions tonight mate! Agree, again. I should maybe come up with my own suggestions for other players at some point tonight but I honestly can't be arsed.
Adding *Lines wouldn't go amiss though. There, there's my suggestion.

[deity86]

You're lucky I forgot to add a suggestion for *Lines or you would've just been sucking up

Without checking my OF I think I have him at an 89 for Aggression though I could easily see him sitting on a 90.

As for SA I'd feel more comfortable with him sitting on a 79.

[BigStu]

90 for AGG is what I have him on, 79 for SA sounds about right, though not complety sure on lines
