I've just written an Ibra review, showing my team in that as well, and that might be why you're here; to find about more about the Tottenham Hotspur stalwart that is Christian Eriksen. His 5*5* makes him unbelievable, and he is hands down the best CAM I've used on this game, however, he does have something missing, but it could just be my playstyle because I have never used an actual CAM for this whole game cycle, I normally use a striker or winger.
PACE: 8/10- Eriksen isn't rapid. He's slow, but he's not. It's super hard to explain, but you wouldn't play him on the wing. He does the job, but there are better options if you want a pacey attacking mid. He's slower than Ibra but faster than normal CR7.
SHOOTING: 10/10- If you want a clinical finisher, Eriksen is the guy. Hasn't missed for me (yet) in 7 games, with virtually everything sailing into the top corner, whether it's a finesse or just knocking the leather off the ball. The 98 shot power is so, so good, and the long shooting is unbelievable. If you want, you could play this card as a striker, especially with the 5* weak foot.
PASSING: 10/10- It's Eriksen. Need I say anymore? Can pass on both feet, over the top through balls, ground balls, driven passes, crosses, the lot. Unbelievable passing, basically the reason you get this card.
DRIBBLING: 7.5/10- This is what I meant when I said something was 'missing.' It's lacking a bit, but at times Eriksen isn't that responsive and turns terribly in bad gameplay. He does have the ability to take on players one-on-one because of the skills, but he's not a silky dribbler like Matheus Pereira. I can only imagine that Firmino and Bruno Fernandes Summer Heat cards are probably better in this area.
DEFENDING: 6/10- It actually surprised me. It's very decent, can win the ball back if needed and can play in a centre mid role if you want. Wouldn't go higher than a 7/10 because it's probably still worse than normal Kante.
PHYSICALITY: 7/10- Like before, it's alright. He can run the whole game but gets bodied off the ball quite a bit. At times, does show a bit of resistance and the aggression kicks in and beats players with low stamina. It's decent.
VALUE FOR COINS: Yes, he is worth for every Serie A team. Does have that 'missing' thing, but still hands-down the best pure attacking midfielder I have used in this game. He's probably the B-Tec Firmino, but not worse by much which makes the value very good. If I had to recommend something, I'd personally rather a Perisic or Modric at CAM because their dribbling is better, and Eriksen at striker.
Thanks for reading!

I've never written a review on a player before, but when I tried this card I thought I should. I know I'm not the first to review him and I know this probably won't be seen by that many people but I thought I might as well give another opinion on him for anyone interested in getting him.
I've used him for only 10 games so far but I still think that's enough for me to get a good idea of what sort of player he is. I used him in the squad attached in 4-2-3-1 in game at CAM on 8 chem with basic for about 4 games then engine (either works fine for me and I didn't notice a huge difference). I wouldn't recommend playing him anywhere other than CAM/RAM/LAM or CF/ST on false 9 as I think he's too slow to play out wide and I think you wouldn't be getting his full potential at CM.
Most of the goals I've scored were from the edge of the box and were finesse shots and it's to be expected really as it's Eriksen and he has 99 long shots so most went nicely into the corner. Along with this he scored a couple of free kicks from similar distances and got himself a couple of assists. Nothing to complain about for any of this.
His dribbling with his new 5* SM upgrade is good and he feels quite responsive and he can slip past defenders every now and then, however, I would recommend putting an Engine chem style on him as he is just slightly too slow and not quite agile enough.
As for the value of the SBC, I think 250k is good value for a player of this calibre, however, I imagine most could do it for much less at this stage, so I don't really have any complaints about that.
If I could compare this to any other card, I would probably say 92 or 94 Bruno Fernandes (who I would totally recommend doing if you have the time) as they both have similar stats, but primarily because of the 5* WF which is probably the highlight of each card.
If I had any complaints it would probably be that he isn't that easy to link, however, most people have several icons at this stage and there are countless other players you could link him to (e.g. Lukaku, Martinez, Politano, Barella, de Vrij and countless other good Serie A players) so this complaint is only minor.
I don't think he's a game changer for the elite players and I'm sure they'd rather stick with their FB Mbappes and TOTS Neymars and Ben Yedders and Ronaldos etc. but he's a very fun card to play with and I'm sure anyone that plays with him can successfully get something out of him and I would 100% recommend him to anyone who is a fan of Eriksen like myself or who has a Serie A team.

That's it for the main review, I hope it wasn't too bad and it at least helped someone decide whether to do him or not.
Passing - top tier, possibly the best passer I've used all year.
Shooting - fantastic long and short range, especially finesse shots. Also great free kicks.
Dribbling - 5* skills is great and he is very good on the ball, but I would suggest improving it with a chem style.
Pace - I wasn't sure whether to put this in pros or cons so I've put it in both. He's fast but he's never going to beat Adama or Mbappe and I'd recommend an Engine or Hunter to fix this.
Value - Very good value for a card with 5* 5*, but I didn't really like having a time limit on this SBC.
Stamina - it's 99.
Work Rates - personally I would prefer High/Medium, but High/High does mean he has the ability to play at CM should you want to.
Defending - I didn't really utilise this while I played with him, but I'm sure with a Sentinel / Anchor / Shadow he could get the job done at CM but I wouldn't venture to CDM as even with a Sentinel, 71 defending doesn't quite do it for me.
Pace - As I said above, he's quick, but not rapid.
Agility - he feels clunkier than a lot of other CAMs but this wouldn't stop me from using him.
Links - not the easiest, especially the nation, but certainly not impossible.
Physicality? - I put a question mark because I didn't see his strength as a problem, I just think it would be nice if it were a little better. Also his aggression is a little low and jumping is low but I don't think that's a problem for anyone.
Eriksen was the biggest club legend for me in FIFA 17, so when I saw this card I knew I had to do him. I played him mostly on CAM in this WL and i have to say that he was what I needed at the moment-the perfect playmaker. His passes are perfect and in every aspect of them he is always faultless. His shots were also very effective due to his 5* WF and great shot power,the only thing that really irritated me was lack of the Outside foot trait which would make this card sick. Even though Christian helped me a lot in this WL and I managed to get 22-8 score. I would say that he is the best choice for CAM in Serie A this year.
