Slightly surprising Benzema

By danitikitaka, 27-04-2019

I got trolled when I packed this card thinking it would be ST Mbappe but no it had to be Benzema. I needed to use some la liga players in order to complete 86 Wass CM weekly objective so decided to might as well use him and later put in him some icon SBC. Played him in a decent Squad 4231 in game and at ST, he is good at receiving the ball with his back to goal, as he is not a supreme pace whore. I slapped a Sniper chem on him as I like my players to have very good ball control, as this game can punish you with one bad touch and your opponent can kill you on the counter attack. His positioning is very good, I found to be where I wanted him to be, with 4* skill moves I was croqueting my way into the box which is really handy. His heading is very good also, even though it shows low jumping he won most headers for me and scored a beauty header from quite some distance. I would recommend playing his a CAM, due to his workrates he suits that role, plus he has more assists than goals for me, in 18 games scored 10, assisted 15. At this point of the game most should have some world class firepower up front hence why I only used him in this challenge, in comparison to my other strikers Motm Rodrigo, POTM Reus & Gary Lineker are 100 times better than him, he was still fun to use , I guess it was something different than pace pace pace. Overall I would say he could suit a fitness team or a physical CAM sub, great at times but there's just better strikers tbh.

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...

Benzema? WOW!

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...

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...
