He impressed me

By JZB551, 31-10-2017

He is incredible depending of what type of striker you are searching for. If you are searching for a fast player with skills, he is obviously not the right player, but if you are searching for a player that takes incredible long shots, finishes like a god and creates opportunities like fi he was a midfielder, he is the correct choice. I will want to admit that I was scared because of his pace, but his strength helps him a lot because you just cover the ball and the majority of the defenders will not pass. He may have med/med work rates, but his positioning is actually really good.

I tried this player because previously I had Harry Kane, which I didn't liked because of his positioning and his dribbling was horrible. So I changed him to Giroud and I actually liked him more

Pace 4/10- He is a really slow striker, and you will fell this in game.

Shooting 10/10- He is a beast, if you shoot with him it will probably be a goal.

BTW I scored a screamer vs Cech with like a lot of defenders in my way

Passing 8.5/10- He usually creates the chances so he or another player can score.

Dribbling 7.5/10- He has a really bad agility, and his agility is okey because of his strength. Still His ball control, composure and reactions are really good.

Defending 11/10- (Thats not a typo) He's obviously a striker so don't expect him to defend, still he sometimes intercepts correctly when I use him: I putted that 11 because his heading is incredible, he will head the ball always in corner, even if he has a defense in front of him.

Physicality 10/10- This is what makes the card so special, strength is incredible, but his jumping is in another level. I dare to say that his jumping and heading is better than Cristiano Ronaldo's.

My final rating is of 9.3/10

He reminds me of Andre Pierre Gignac 91 TOTS from last FIFA, but slower.

I recommend you to have a fast player to his left and to put him as a right striker.

Olivier Giroud

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

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...

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 ...
