96 - TOTS
This card is really nice to use. Big Benz doesn't really live up to his 6ft 1 stature and 99 strength but makes up for it with shooting, attacking runs and speed. I have to say I was surprised about how good Benzema is. I bought him as a big striker, someone who can hold the ball up, but also have enough pace to penetrate the opposition defence, and he did more than that. His runs in behind were second to none, he was getting plenty on one on ones with the keeper and usually scoring them. Also his shooting his mad. The guy doesn't miss. When he shoots he almost always gets it on target (in a good scoring position), and if it is placed right, gets it past the keeper. Benzema's first time shots are deadly, in and around the box he doesn't miss. Anyone looking for a affordable, value for money striker should go in for Benz, he's everything a striker should be.
- Brilliant shooting
- feels a lot faster than his card says
- not clunky
- makes excellent runs in behind
- holds the ball up well
- Doesn't seem as strong as his card says
- Doesn't win the ball in the air a lot
- His positioning inside the box isn't the best
