I don't know where to start...

He is absolutely one of the best players i have used this year. First, he is so fast. It is stupid when you give the ball to him, it doesn't seem to affect to his pace at all. What makes him even better without a ball, is his attacking positioning. He was making great runs behind the defenders, thanks to his High/Low WR. His dribbling is also a big pro. With that kind of pace and 89 agility, he will destroy many controllers.

Another pro is his shooting. Inside the box, outside the box, basically everywhere, he will score you goals like a maniac. Inside the box, he is so clinical with both of his feet. Thanks to 87 finishing and 89 shot power, he will score you almost every single time inside the box. Also his Curve of 84 will let you score some sick finesse shots, even outside the box. 4 star week foot feels like his right foot, i couldn't feel difference when it comes to low driven and regular shots.

Third pro im gonna talk about is his strength. For a 5'10 tall, his strength seem to be super OP. He did bully defenders like Bailly, Varane etc. I think that his 79 Balance compared with his 84 strength makes him feel so strong. With finisher chem style he is a perfect striker.

Basically there are no cons with Futmas Muriel. He could be little taller and have little more Stamina (79), but i felt like those where just minor issues. I didn't get to use his heading because of my style of play, but his heading stats don't seem that impressive, so it could be a problem for some players.

Overall, i would give him:

9.5/10

GET HIM !

Wow! What do I say? This FUTMAS Muriel is incredible... He powers past players like they're not even there and his finishing is immaculate!

His shear ability on the ball is incredible. I've played him in a left cam in a 4231 for about 20 games and the assists he pulled off were great.

Then we come to shooting; he manages to slip to ball into unreachable corners 9 out of 10 times with no effort... Unfortunately because of his composure he puts easy shots wide.

At first, i was doubting to do his Futmas card. When I immediately saw the 72 composure stat, i was really worried. But the nice sprint speed, with strength, shot power, finishing, dribbling etc. I decided to take the risk and give him a try. How wrong was I. He scored 27 goals in 11 games, to be precise.

Just 6 assists though.

I knew it was going to be a great card for just 60k.

Muriel now has 984 games with 918 goals with 461 assists. Magnificient return. Always positions himself to make a run, always finding just angles to shoot, but he does often miss 1 on 1 with the keeper, due to his low composure stat. Dribbling is acceptional. But unfortunately he struggles against Bailly and Bakayoko, but one time he got outstrength by Sterling. I know.. right? Humiliating.

When I saw this card I knew that I had to make the SBC. And so I did. He has now played over 50 games for me, and I still use him in every team I make. I have played him at CAM and ST (around 20 games at CAM) and he plays very well in both positions. But when played at CAM (in a 4231 narrow on the right side) he doesn't get into many scoring positions which sucks a bit, 'cause his finishing is pretty darn amazing. Along with his pace and dribbling his finishing is his best trait, and even though his composure is fairly low, he doesn't feel unclinical in the penalty-area. Overall I've had a blast using this card, but when you read this review, it is far too late 'cause the SBC is long-gone. Sorry.
