Karim the french beast

By xReway, 20-11-2017

First sorry if i do some english mistakes because i'm french :p

I bought Benzema to substitute alejandro Gomez from atalanta, and im very surprised. His stats seems like disgusting for any fifa player but in game he is a true monster.

His WR Med - Low are a bit boring because of his absence of defensiv efforts.

In my squad, there is Perisic, Asensio and Williams who give him a lot a in-depth balls and Benzema doesn't miss these kind of chance. He has a good placement, using LB+A to make him run deep between defenders is very interesting, his pace isnt a lack and also using strenght with LT is a good solution to push off side defenders and sometimes CB which are not too height.

PACE : 90 with hunter

It permits to throw him the ball usually because he is running quickly across the lines. If you can find him alone behind defenders, it's easy to keep the distance

SHOOTING : 93 with hunter

He's a striker, so we want him to score goals and that's what he does, with a 97 on finishing and a 93 on shot power, you can just press shoot next to the goal. Sharpshoots are also very interesting and 4* weak foot too.

PASSING :77

He has more than a minimum required for a striker, but passing isn't a key stat for me because it is very assisted in FIFA. Anyway just keep in mind that his passing is good.

DRIBBLING : 82

4* skills are a true advantage, stop and turn or any spin are very effectives and benzema make it easier thanks to his ball control (86) and his reaction (83). Using LT + RT with him is a pleasure, or just use LB or LT to turn around yourself and make a difference with a pass is something very easy with Benzema. Balance stat (60) isn't a lack because his strenght makes the job.

DEFENDING : 22

The only interesting stat there is the heading accurency (78), combined to his 187cm, he can often score some goals on corners and catch the ball from a goal kick.

PHYSICALITY : 74

His 78 for strenght makes him feels like a tank, combined to pace he can do runs staying front of defender (don't forget to use LT). Stamina (73) is good and if aggression (65) were a 85 it could be a true dream, because he don't care of going on easy balls staying on the defenders foots.

PACE (with hunter chem) like the white usain bolt
SHOOTING he has a beast power so don't hesitate to shoot when you can
STRENGHT his height and a decent stat makes him being a true problem for defenders
DOUBLE 4*

Impressed Me

In every stat, i will write players that feels similar in for example pace that I have tested. Pace - 78 (90): His pace felt pretty good, I like tanky strikers with good shooting, physical and 75+ pace, sp Benzema fits my type of playstyle pretty good. (I also like pacey dribblers btw)

Clinical

Used this guy at striker and i have to say that his passing and hold up play was brilliant. Wasn't too slow with a hunter and his shooting was fantastic. Got me many goals and assists and is very tall and strong. I'm surprised at the other review, because Benzema was great. Don't try him at CAM.

As CAM he is a beast

I've searched for a CAM who fits in my squad and with him I nearly found the best solution. If you use him with hawk or hunter (hunter feels a bit better because of pace) he is nearly perfect. Because of his height and his strengh you can shield the ball with him against tall and strong defenders. He's also perfect for using him in a double pass combination. All in All he isn't the best striker but in the midfield he's very...
