Best Beginning PL #9

By CoffeeBlack97, 30-01-2019

In a game where speedy wingers are a dime a dozen, you need a central focal point. Olivier is just that. His aerial threat and strength specialties help him win corners at the front post (META), and he doesn't get bullied off of 50/50 balls. If you just boot your goal kicks straight down the middle he will win every one of them and get you that many more possessions. Get him on his left foot in the box and its GG EZ. I refuse to believe he has 3 star weak foot, as he will put any shot attempt with his right into the 8th row. Obviously he isn't on par with Kane or Aguero, but his goals per cost ratio is incredible. Use him until you can afford your end game #9. His stamina statistic is low, but he doesn't move all that much so he can last an entire match. It isn't worth it to put a hunter on him, because he will still be slower than defenders. Put a Finisher to further buff his shot and strength. It is also worth noting that he gets several custom comments from Martin and Andy which make him all the more fun.

Left foot within 20-25 yards is straight cash.
Cost - cheap AF for a very effective CF/ST
Wins front post corners better than any other EPL player
French and EPL makes him a chemistry delight
Wins goal kicks when you clear it down the middle

Right foot from outside the 6 yd box
Not a wonderful passer or dribbler. Find him in the box or leave him alone.

Giroud-Solid Target Man

I've played Giroud as somewhat of a target man hold up player. I have kinda tall goalscoring wingers like OTW Richarlison and Headliners Pepe, both of them could be strikers. I use Giroud to play the ball into and he can play it into Pepe and Richarlison to score. Not to say Giroud hasn't scored goals though, his finishing is amazing, especially his shot power. Giroud has scored quite a few goals for me. The 3-star skills I...

Olivier Giroud

my version of FB IBRA

Giroud is amazing, legit like scores so many headers for me from crosses and corners and even when you shoot with him its mad. so much strength too obviously only downside is the pace but its really not that much of a problem when you put him with fast players around him, might be good with that new FUT birthday willian CAM!
