How do you use this PlayStyle?

It’s used by players to have a better touch while sprinting and receiving a ball and also used for less bouncing when players touch the ball after receiving a pass.

What is the most effective way to use this PlayStyle?

Most effective way to use this Playstyle is to choose a player with a silver one and not go for PS+, as it’s not really worth having that PS+ spot occupied by this one. It’s not the best PS+, but the silver one is a nice bonus. And if you have a luxury and players that are using multiple playstyles – it’s decent.

What are the Pros and Cons of this PlayStyle?

Pros

• You worry less while receiving a strong pass or holding a sprint button
• Allows you to trick an opposition who’s expecting a bounce after you just received a ball

Cons

• PS+ basically has no advantage over normal PS
• There are better PS+ that wouldn’t be possible to use on a players that occupy this PS+
• Luxury playstyle to have that has no significant impact unlike some other PS+
