88 - IF
4.5
Insane ST
By brubru19, 13-11-2018

He will make the job as a striker if you're not letting him alone in front.

I got him in an unsealable pack this is a beast.

Great striker. His first touch is really crazy and makes him able to be on a good shoot position. His shooting is also incredible : his finishing is clinical such as his volleys.

Good passing but not enough to put him at CAM (according to me).

The 4 star/4 star combination make him pleasant.

His physical stats are undoubtedly a problem because he will not be able to make a header or win any 50-50 challenge. I also found his left foot good but not amazing.

Which brings me to my next point, Mertens's physicality and height. Mertens has so many posi...

The Perfect CAM....Striker?

There is a lot to talk about when someone mentions Mertens and the way he should be played. Usually, conversation involve sentences like these; "O noes, he smull, -NO Stenthg butt he fastt >:("These usually don't answer anything and leave you with more questions than you had in the beginning.So where should you play Mertens? Fam, I don't know. What I do know is that I play him as a striker. So......

The beast affordable CAM

Mertens is quite possibly the best affordable CAM in the game. I was lucky enough to pack him in my Gold 3 rewards. Whether he is coming off the bench or starting he is a joy to play with. His long shots are insane and usually go in and feels very agile on the ball. Although quite weak and slight, he often intercepts the ball when the opposition is playing out from the back. His passing is also superb
