87 - TOTS Moments
I dropped out of div 3 to div 4 to get the Mvila objective and this guy really surprised me. He is good in the air, finishing is excellent and even his longshots are good with a marksman chemstyle. His downside could be his stamina or his aggression maybe, didn't notice it that much because I only played div rivals.

Trust me,this guy is INCREDIBLE! I use him as a supersub on ST position in a 4222 formation.He is really fast,his dribbling is very smooth and his agility is nuts.He also has 4 star skills so,La Croqueta abusers,complete this guy until you can.His shooting is fantastic and also his heading.He can easily outjump Van Dijk(He really did).Even if he has 3 star weak foot,they feel like 4.I highly recommend completing him,for only 4 matches*a powerful header and a really fast striker....all in Moussa Dembèlè's person!
Oh,and I didn't mention that he has 99 strenght,so you won't take him down
*=you get a clinical finisher

First of all, this card is really easy to unlock. You only need to win 4 SB matches with a full Ligue 1 squad on minimum professional difficulty. I advise you to do it on the difficulty level you are comfortable to play with your regular squad. I combined it with the FUT Swap objective (70 rating) and used a tragic squad with 2 silvers and 1 bronze (+ full bronze bench). Took me 4 games to get Dembele. If you struggle, just use the best Ligue 1 squad you can build within your budget.
There is also the TOTS M'Vila objective (Ligue 1 goal in 4 Rivals wins), so I decided to put him into my main squad instead of red Jovic. I didn't expect him to be anywhere near as good as Jovic, but I still got disappointed. I had to play 12 games in total to get M'Vila. Dembele didn't do much at all. That's why I took him off most of the games and put Aouar up front.
His pace is alright, but nothing special at this stage of the game. The first problem that I noticed is his M/L work rates. He just doesn't make the runs you want him to do. Due to that, I had to adjust my gameplay and use him as Lukaku type striker. His hold-up play is actually really good and he was able to outmuscle must of my opponents' defenders.
His dribbling however is questionable, 91 agility feels like a lie. It felt like maneuvering a shipping tanker moving him around the pitch.
What about his shooting then? Outside the box he is completely useless and his volleys are also quite bad. The only 2 goals I managed to score with him were rebounds, so I guess his positioning could be a pro. He missed so many chances, one low driven shot even went to the corner flag. His 3* WF felt like a 1*. I tried some shots on his left foot and he couldn't generate any power.
To sum up, Dembele is a very underwhelming card. If you look at it from a different angle, it is understandable that he is not great. He is only 87 rated against all the TOTS, TOTY and Icon CBs.
Is it worth getting him even though he isn't really useable? Definitely yes, it doesn't take much effort and at the end of the day he is an 87 rated card to put into an SBC. Additionally, you gain some SB points as well.

WHAT A FREE PLAYER!!! EA JUST GAVE HIM "FREE" FOR EVERY BODY WHO CAN PLAY SQUAD BATTLES!! i did this player in around hour idk and he is just fantastic. I gave him hawk chemistry stile (if you have money try hunter). He is a really stocky player his physics are fantastic. His 99 heading and 91 jumping (with hawk it is 99) and height 183cm are the best combo for scoring corners from the front post. Next is pace. It is 91 with hawk is 95 but it really feels like 88 or something around cause of his body type(it is really big and wide). His passing is descent for a striker(short passing 87 is great) Dribbling normal too: agility, ball control, dribbling and composure are great but balance and reactions are not so good to be honest.
Shooting is really great though his walleys and long shots are bad.
HEADING!!!

Moussa is an absolute monster! I used this card to do the mvila challenge and decided that he was going to stay he was that good. He replaced david villa (who i still use just as much) who was really good but didnt manage to win many 50/50 because of his height and strength. I found dembele to win everything you might aswell call them 100/0 because he made the defenders his b**ch. He was always looking for through balls and always contacted on the ends of crosses and corners. If you have him and haven't sbc him i definitely recommend giving him a run
Finishing - never misses one on ones inside the box
Strength - never gets pushed off and is somehow stronger than Brian Shaw
Jumping - could play in the nba
Heading - hes not a porn star but he would be fantastic
Dribbling - yes saliva really does fall from his mouth its crazy
Honestly i could go one for so long about this card
Long shots - misses a lot from outside the box but that doesnt matter because you can flick up for volley, chip or shot inside the box
3* weak foot - actually wasn't a problem for me as ive played with flashback dsturridge but can be anyone for some of you
