At +5 compared to his base, the 86-rated Lemar Showdown card is very tasty.

Other standout stats include his 93 Agility, 90 Ball Control and 89 Dribbling.

His Passing and Shooting stats are also world-class. 84 Finishing, Short Passing and Vision make him a creative force.

Based on Atlético's performance against Chelsea on Wednesday he could also see a +1 (Draw) or +2 (Win) boost.
