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, I did come up against a weak opponent where I won 7 - 0 and scored 5 with benzema but they were all brilliant finishes against de gea. Incredible value for 120k-ish.

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 feels much faster than the card would suggest. Another noticable ability was his shot power which was really powerfull (99 with maestro). Last but not least are his workrates. Med/Low might not seem ideal for you but for Benzema it is. He doesn't go too far in attacking state of the game so he is always available to get the ball and distribute it to others. Big benefit is possibility to strong link him to Bale which I did.

TL;DR

I am really glad I made this SBC and I encourage you to do so if he fits your team.

Was actually apprehensive as wanted to save 120-150k coins at first. But then saw it could be done cheaper so i thought, just do it

i mean, compared to the Robben Premium SBC, this or the Ramsey one is far easier to obtain

Let's get to it, i play a traditional 4-4-1-1. Put Karim at CF with Hawk chemistry, which is similar to my main squad and the position is taken by Mandzukic.

I found them quite similar other than Karim's M / M work rate. He scored goals for me, created chances, held up play well to support the counter attacks

Used him in the weekend league and did well for me, Div 5 player, finishing Gold 3. In fact i rotated my sole strikers from Carniball Inaki, SIF Suarez and ended with UCL Live Griezzy.

Glad i did the SBC, i now favour Karim playing in this La Liga team of mine

So I was pondering if this card would be worth getting as I already had griezmann and he was doing such a good job for me.

As I already had a good few players in my club that would fit in the sbc I said why not. I manged to do the SBC for around 30-35k

but it normally costs around 130k or so.

Was it worth it?

In my opinion this card's effectiveness is purely based on your play style and how you work the ball on the pitch.

I like to play quick counter attacking football this fifa so Benzema seemed perfect for me.

His ability to hold up the ball utilized Martials and Saint-Maximins pace which allowed them to fly down the wing or go clean through on goal

His finishing is something else all together. I found myself quite often laying him the ball on the edge of the box and watching as he would smash it top corner first time.

His 87 composure mixed with his 92 finishing and 99 shot power left him deadly in one on one situations. I achieved this by using the Hawk chemistry style.

His 32 goals in 29 games for me with most of them coming in fut champs means he will certainly be my striker for time to come.

If you can get him in a striking partnership with Griezmann as Benzema has a tendency to wait for the ball and not make runs in behind.

Benzemas brilliant hold up play and Griezmanns penetrating runs could make for a deadly team.

Appena ho visto questo Benzema e la possibilità di completare questa sfida gratis non ho potuto non farla(anche perchè ultimamente il mio Griezmann 91 non rendeva come prima). Appena completata la sfida l'ho piazzato dietro a Ben Yedder UEL, Neymar UCL e Saint Maximin FS e devo dire che non è male. Tira fuori dal cilindro certi gol ma ne sbaglia altrettanti facilissimi(me ne ha sbagliato uno a porta vuota e avevo tirato di time verde).

Dribbling:

Non è male, non dribblo molto con lui ma quelle poche volte riesce a superarmi i difensori con una facilità disarmante.

Passaggio:

Sicuramente non è il migliore ma qualche bel passaggino me lo sforna.

Tiro:

Ha un gran tiro, sicuramente il migliore della Liga. Come detto prima alterna bei tiri a gol clamorosi sbagliati davanti alla porta(magari è anche il periodo visto che con lui prendo 4 pali a partita) però tutto sommato lo metterei tra i pro

Fisico:

Mantiene molto bene il pallone e molte volte vince i contrasti aerei con i difensori e ha anche un'ottima agilità.

Difesa:

Inutile recensire questo aspetto per un attaccante ma recupera molti palloni in attacco per essere un attaccante.

Velocità:

Per essere un 84 è abbastanza veloce(provato le prime volte senza stile intesa) però se metti falco o cacciatore a questo giocatore diventa completo e abbinato all'ottimo fisico diventa infermabile.
