86 - FUT Birthday
5.0
Best Prem CAM for the $?
By ballingbad, 20-03-2018

PL Mertens?

This FUT Birthday Mahrez is most comparable to Mertens, so if you like Mertens but need a full Prem side, Mahrez is your guy.


My card has a HUNTER Chem style so his finishing+passing+dribbling ability sitting behind two pacey strikers was very good.

  • Feels Great on Ball - 91 Acceleration,97 Agility, 89 Balance, 93 Ball Control, and 93 Dribbling + 5* skills
  • Great Finishing - 4* Weak Foot with a Hunter Chem style made his low driven shots unstoppable. 88 Curve helped when finesse shots were needed
  • Passing - Great passing stats accompanied by his threat to shoot or make advancement on his own allowed for easy passing and through balls to pacey strikers.
  • Pace - in the Prem he would only be rivaled by Sterling's PTG card, but with 4* WF compared to Sterling's 3*, he beats him out especially considering price. Makes rapid runs and gets in behind when needed.
  • Price - For under 100k he is a no brainer to me, that being said his price may drop even more as the FUT Birthday promo ends. 100k may seem like alot but in a narrow formation your CAM is the most influential position in my opinion, so hes well worth it.
  • Stamina - as the CAM he is constantly on ball or making runs, so he may not feel as crisp from the 75th min on. Lozano  Alessandrini or newly released Kaka may be needed for late into games
  • Strength - if you are looking for a physical beats, Mahrez is not the one.

Buy him now.

Words cannot describe the orgasmic jubilation you will experience when using this card. I play him at CAM and can honestly say he's the most fun player I've ever used there. He's better than prime Deco, Rui Costa, Del Piero, etc... I've seen a lot of youtubers compare him to Messi, but the truth is that he's quite different; imagine a taller, slightly less nimble Messi with 5 star skills. He does however have similar pace, ...

The God

This man is an absolute God. I picked him up on snipe for only 90k with a Hawk card on and that is a steal considering what he is going for right now. This Mahrez card brings the fun back into FIFA. His 5* skills are fun to utilise and he feels amazing on the ball. He is THE PERFECT alternative to Messi in my opinion. He is my favourite player to use in the game. He is so fun to use. You have complete control over him, he i...

unstoppable

alright so fut birthday mahrez, simply put he pulls the strings and has a deadly presence in your attack. his agility is very noticeable in game and one thing i found surprising was his aggression. his aggression in game is much more than what his stats say, this man ran down and battled bakayoko off the ball. he is not easily pushed off the ball, but don't try to go shoulder to shoulder with someone (doing this wastes his ...
