90 - FUT Birthday

Best Player I've Used This Year

By rvag, 19-03-2018

What. A. Player. I don't like obnoxious reviews but I cannot understate how good this card is. I am a huge Dortmund fan and by extension a huge Reus fan but I won't let my bias sway this review. I've used good players this year: SIF Ronaldo, SIF Messi, SIF Aguero, IF Aubameyang, etc. Reus is my favorite among all of them and felt better than all of them, except maybe Messi. Messi has a better shot but Reus feels a lot stronger so they kind of balance out. Everything about this Reus card is sublime.

His pace and strength are very good, and the stamina boost to this card is very noticeable: it feels much better than his normal gold card. His finesse shots, long shots, and low-driven shots all feel great. His free kicks are great as well. I know scoring direct from free kicks has fallen on the wayside this year, but this card will change that for the better. Anywhere near the penalty area and Reus will slot home a free kick with ease.

As for downsides, he isn't a giant so winning headers isn't a guarantee but he has decent jumping and height so they may come every now and then. His skill moves feel a little aggressive, meaning the ball won't stay on his feet as tightly as you'd want. But this may create goal opportunities so it's not a huge downside. The only other con is that he has the injury-prone trait so he does pick up an injury every now and then but injury cards are relatively cheap this year so, again, no problem.

All in all, if you have the coin I would recommend buying Birthday Cake Reus. He is a fantastic player and my definite favorite of FIFA 18. As a final note, I know I have a good team around him but he could honestly play in any team as long as you can afford him. Let him be the trophy among your low-rated golds and non-special cards: he will deliver.

Marco Reus

My Fifa Career is Complete

I can't afford this card, but I used him on my friends account for 30 games. Best card hands down. I am a huge Dortmund fan, and my favorite player is Marco Reus, so of course there is a bit of bias, but holy **** what a card. Literally flawless on basic chem. I mean all of his important stats except for strength balance and stamina are 95 or better. His only weak points o...

Marco Reus

One of the best cards on the game

I was ecstatic when i got him in a bundesliga premium upgrade, and he is the best card that I've used this FIFA. He is just perfect in every way, the pace and dribbling combo, the pinpoint shooting, it makes a lethal card and can also keep defenders away amazingly for such a small player. A GOAT that if you can afford and link, is an essential.I would also reccomend if u can to play him upfront.
