90 - FUT Future Stars
When the FS promo was released I was slightly pessimistic - more expensive cards that I'll never pack? Great! But after the Frenkie De Jong SBC dropped, I decided to sell my Premier League studs (Hazard, Kante and KDB) and built a new team around the Ajax duo and the absolute gem that is Kai Havertz.
This guy might be the future of the German team, but he's the present of my Ultimate Team squad. Playing at CAM behind Werner and Ibra in a 3-5-2, his positioning is second to none. He's always in the right spots and can often get an open shot away from the top of the box due to most opponents always showing him onto his left foot, assuming that all players are right-footed. If not for manual goalies and that prick Thibaut Courtois, he'd probably have 60+ goals for me already. Instead, averaging one a game will have to do.
In the second half I'll move him up to striker and give Werner a rest, and he's just as, if not more potent - his combination of height and pace is a nightmare to deal with, and he's only going to get more beastly when they (hopefully) upgrade his weak foot from four stars to five.
I was away the past two weekends so haven't tried him in WL yet, but he already looks like he'll be a difference maker for me. Since changing up my squad I've got from 1450 rivals points to 1800, and he's the main reason why. Yes, he's very expensive, but he's outplaying any icon I've had in my team this year in attacking positions. If you can afford him, go get him. You won't regret it.
