Suprisingly good at CM

My mate told me his puskas card was fantastic and was using him against me constantly at cam. I decided to try him at lcm in a 4312 because I like fast cams, and giroud isnt fast.

Giroud wins all the headers from goal kicks and is fantastic in corners defensively and offensively. His physical is unbelievable, he holds off anyone and everyone allowing enough time for my strikers to make runs, he pushes attackers off the ball very easily. I give him the stay on edge of box instruction, his longshots are fantastic, especially if he is in space or if your opponent isnt expecting it. His pace is his biggest flaw, cant really go on runs with him or chase fast wingers. My favourite part about him is when i am passing the ball around on my right side with my rb, then cross it far post when giroud arrives in the box, 9/10 times its a goal. His low tackling is irrelevant as he can just push defenders off the ball with LT or L2.

Olivier Giroud. Where to start? Most magnificent beard in professional football? Check. Sexiest man in professional football? Check.Puskas award for an insane goal? Check.Cheapest icon in FIFA 18? Check. He's ticking all the boxes. Used him in 20 games so far and boy is he something. I've mostly played him as a CF behind Mbappé in a 4-4-1-1 with Martial and Ousmane Dembélé on...

Olivier Giroud

Underated

I packed Giroud from guaranteed sbc and at first i was disappointed but after playing with him i don't anymore. I play him as my central cam in a 4231, i had tots pjanic there originally. No way is Giroud going to replace him entirely but he will play from time to time because he is just a fun card to use. His first touch is great probably one of the best in my opinion. I think we have a been there when we do a driven pass ...

Olivier Giroud

First Giroud card that feels fairly quick !

I treid pretty much every single Giroud card this year.Everyone who tried is aware of what kind of player it is.He kills it with his left foot every single time, scores from every distance, wins every header and simply cannot be pushed off the ball by any player, the only way to take the ball when he is shielding properly is to foul him. On this 94 version he also feels magnificent on the ball...
