How Star Performer Lacey plays
| Stat | Value | Stat | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agility | 93 | Acceleration | 91 |
| Balance | 92 | Sprint speed | 90 |

| Vision | 85 | Long shots | 87 |

| Strength | 70 | Jumping | 61 |
The good
He is quick and very sharp on the turn. 91 acceleration on an Explosive AcceleRATE, 93 agility and 92 balance at 167 cm, with Quick Step and Technical, make him hard to stay with when he drops a shoulder and comes inside.
The final ball is the real weapon. 85 vision, 87 crossing, 94 curve and Incisive Pass give him through balls and whipped crosses from the right, and 87 long shots with 88 shot power make the cut-in shot a real option too.
The bad
He is tiny and light. 70 strength, 61 jumping and 65 kg mean defenders can push him off the ball, so he needs space more than contact.
77 finishing and a 3★ weak foot limit him as a goalscorer, and he only plays RW and RM. There is no PlayStyle+ on the card either.
What the creators say
Viperlization called it a really good SBC and highly recommended it, with one condition: he would only complete it if you add a passing PlayStyle+ to the card, which he put at about 25,000 coins on top. With that, he found the passes inside from the right wing hard to defend.
He played Lacey with the Finisher chemistry style, which took his agility close to the maximum, and expects him to make more assists than goals. His criticism matched the stats: right side only, and easy to push off the ball.
What the community thinks
| Vote | Result |
|---|---|
| SBC price | 92% positive (1,007 votes) |
| Card rating | 95% positive (522 votes) |
| Tier placement | 27% put him in the second tier (640 votes) |
| Most picked chemistry style | Hunter (60%), then Finisher (19%) |
Among the live player SBCs, only Brobbey (93%) and Schertenleib (91%) get a similar price vote. The tier vote is more modest: players like the value more than they rate the card against the very best wingers.
Our verdict: worth it for a right winger
If your team needs a right winger in a Premier League or England squad, Lacey is worth the 47,000 coins. He turns quickly, delivers the final pass and fits the cut-inside role well, and the price vote shows few players regret it.
Skip him if you want goals or a winger who can hold the ball against big full backs: 77 finishing and 70 strength are his limits. The extra PlayStyle+ that makes him special in the creator’s eyes also costs more coins, so count on more than 47,000 in total if you go that way.
