Player Review
82 - Normal
Personally, I really like this years version of Fekir. Used is RW version last year, and the biggest con there was that it wasn't a CAM or ST card. Now that Fifa 18 has resolved that, and on top of that bumed his stats, it has become a really good card for people who are looking for a cheap, versatile player.
He is good value for money this year. I play him mostly at CAM in a 4-2-3-1, with Griezmann or Gameiro in front of him. So far I've found a lot of (surprising) strenghts. First of all, he has decent base pace, shooting and dribbling stats for a CAM or ST. Pair that with a hunter or hawk and it becomes actually very good. A hawk chem style goes very well on the CAM spot, because you don't really need the extra pace boost and instead get some nice extra physical. Most importantly, if you play him with Hawk on CAM, you get a nice boost in long shots. With those being so OP this year, Fekir becomes a deadly threat from outside of the box. His finesse long shots almost always are a goal if you have some space. His shot power is very nice as well, so normal long shots are either a real problem for the keeper or right on the money.
The shooting is easily the best about this card, which in my eyes is the most important. His dribbling stats are really good as well, you feel like you have an agile, quick player in your hands. Passing is good enough for a CAM, especially if you like to give trough balls. He lacks a bit in the Physical department, but hey, don't ask to much for a cheap, non-IF gold card.
Overall, very good value for money, has scored a lot of nice goals for me and if he picks up an In-form, I'll definitely think about picking that up.
- Value for money
- Easy links because French
- Long shots (both finesse and nomal)
- With hawk or hunter good attacking stats
- Dribbling
- Physical, not a good header
- Stamina is a bit iffy, but to be honest, It doesn't feel as low as 67
