92 - FOF

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 and our player freaks out and can't control it then proceeds to lose the ball but this Giroud traps the ball every time. He can distribute the ball great from the middle of pitch for tots ronaldo and with his medium/medium work rates he doesn't defend to much and it always pushing up with the ball. His physicality is insane when he has the ball at his feet he can hold off any defender i don't care who it is tots ramos or prime ferdinand then can't push him off the ball. His shooting is 95 rated so expect him to finish everything with his left foot, for his right foot he can finish 90% of chances inside the box but when it comes to long shots try to get him to shoot with his left. He does move like a truck with his low agility and balance so you can't move in and out of challenges I would just run straight at people with his high strength and aggression. His pace is noticeable as well but in the 4231 the central cam does not need that much pace so it's not an issue for myself but as a lone striker or any striker position i can see it becoming a bigger issue.
