Mertens is very unlike other OP forwards in FIFA18 : he ain't strong. If you get in contact with some Rudiger, Bailly or even average defenders, he will stumble and eventually lose possession. YET, his top balance and agility makes it very easy to counter your opponent's anticipation and to espace physical battle. In this way, he is very close to Messi since he really drives your opponent nuts. And the best part of it, he has a clinical, ninja right foot. Too quick to counter, too precise to save. The man just scores every game, look at his stats in my team ! But can you handle such an OP card ? Try it and you'll know.
