89 - UCL LIVE
4.5
Benzema? WOW!
By Orw20, 10-11-2018

When I first saw these cards I needed to have one. The card art is probably one of the best I've seen. I bought Benzema or 130,000 and it was worth every coin, when I first saw this card the first thing that came to my mind was "Why Benzema?". IRL I think Benzema is grossly overrated but for a special card that upgrades every stage Real gets to is 100% worth the coins. He is probably one of the most fun strikers that I have used this year, he has good physical, good shooting, he is tall and with a hunter which I use his pace is very decent. To me he is like the Lewandowski of La Liga.


Shooting:

Overall with the boost hunter gives shooting it's exceptional if he is around or in the 18 it's almost always a goal 9 times of 10 he will score. However his long shots are a bit iffy. A long finesse from outside the box will be just as good as any other striker but the driven shots tend to stray from the target if they are not timed.


Pace:

I like Benzema because he is hold up player that can also run if needed. I used harry kane earlier this year and he was great but when there was a chance for a through ball that would surely end up in a goal he couldn't get to it or he couldn't keep distance. Benzema with a hunter has 88 pace. That is enough pace this fifa, I also have a FUT Champs Lacazette and with a hawk he has 88 pace and is great. Benzema is very versatile with pace as he can play many roles on the attack.


Passing:

His passing is alright the long passes as his card would suggest are not good but everything else is fine. He scored 1 of 2 free kicks I took with him and is alright.


Dribbling:

It's pretty good but his agility is a bit low for some quick maneuvers and balance also.


Heading:

His heading of the ball is good without a jumping boost with 99 heading accuracy when he gets a header it has a good chance of going in.


Physical:

One tough BOI he has 83 strength which is enough to hold someone off. stamina is not that much of a problem if he is not running a lot and playing hold up.


Overall:

Great card highly recommend in 5 weekend league games he had 11 goals and then I switched to Div rivals and he has 8 games 15 goals now.

Benzema:

Trust me. Get this card. I have only played 6 games with him but in division 1 of division rivals and I tell you, he is something else. I have previously tried UCL TOTGS griezmann, aguero, etc. He is a combination of these two on steroids. I have scored 15 goals with 3 assists. Incredible finishing. Brilliant long shots. Decent Dribbling. Surprisingly good passing. Good enough physical (scored 3 headers). To be fair however...

End game playmaker

So your main question is: is he worth doing? My anwser would be - of course. For around 120k you are getting an end game player rated 96 on CF with maestro chem. style. I managed to lower the cost of Benzema with some untradables to only 40k. First thing I did was moving him to a CAM role in a 4-3-3(4) tactic. The main aspect I directly noticed was his ball control - it is like he has a glue on his feets. Because of that he...
