So overall this player cost me around the 200K mark, this is mainly due to some positions (usually CB) relying on two specific silver players that were price capped like mad in most teams. My best advice for completing these challenges is two-fold: 1) Each team is only asking for 95 chem, which means as long as you get 10 players in position you can have one completely out of it, so finding a cheaper alternative for a costly position is possible. 2) Toluca doesn't have a goalkeeper in the game, so don't wait around on hoping someone will put one up, they only need 90 chem so you can play two players completely out of position.

Moving on to Gignac, he's exceptional and has been one of the most consistent players in my team. His physicality means he not only wins almost every header (on average 9/10) but he can hold up the ball and muscle every defender, which gives you a lot of opportunities to play him the ball on the edge of the box and then hold it, turn and shoot. I personally gave him the Hawkeye chem as I figured a buff to his pace would be useful especially as he's competent in each aspect of being a striker, scoring a surprising amount of goals from running on to a through ball. Then it also adds to shooting making him more lethal and physicality to really stop anyone even trying to muscle him off the ball. In short he has been mainly used a a super-sub, he comes on and will win me games, he gives any team a great focal point and plays like he can do anywhere in the final third. His high passing stat means he can play through balls and short passes with ease and without worry of them being wayward. I also used him in a front 2 with Mbappe and he was excellent once again, set Mbappe up a lot. He's become the main striker I use, even if he only has 4 chem in the team, because he just plays well beyond any striker in chem and with the chem styles boosts.

I really thought SBC Gignac would be the perfect French beast striker I needed to complete my squad. Well, let me get straight to the point, he is not. Although he has great shooting / physical stats, as well as fine dribbling and pace, something feels off. In-game, Gignac just lacks on every aspect. His speed of action is too slow, his passing is inaccurate and he does not make the right runs. On top of that, his finishing wasn´t all that great for me either and his physical underwhelmed me aswell. It's okay, but I thought he would be the guy that outmuscles everyone and scores every chance he gets in the box.

Now I have to put on a sidenote that when Gignac does shine, he really shines. Against weaker opponents he can easily get you a hattrick every game. But when playing FUT champions or in high divisions you do not often play against opponents that are considerably weaker (at least I don't). So most of the time, he is just an absent player on the pitch.

Everything I said before is in perspective to his price. When he was just a cheap stiker, I wouldn't have complained this much. But considering he cost me around 150k, he is just a disappointment for me.

I would only recommend him if you don't mind spending this amount of coins and your looking for a supersub to win you matches is stoppage time. Other than that, do not waste you coins on this man!
