87 - PL POTM
4.5
Absolute bargain!!!
By mats0903, 09-11-2019

When I first saw the requirements, I was like - THAT MUST BE A MISTAKE BY EA. But it's not.I've done this card basically for free - as a supersub for WL and his 86 rating - useable in SBCs.

I was very curious of his perfeormance, so I slapped a marksman and used him as a supersub in every FC match today and some Rivals before - 20 matches in total.

At first glance, the card seems to play exactly like the stats would suggest it:

-very good pace, combined with good physical stats

-great shooting

-3*/3* and average dribbling

-okay passing

What really impressed me about this card is his ability to retake and keep the ball - high agression combined with good composure and decent defending stats make Vardy one of these strikers, who can really stick to the ball. That is useful when you press your opponent as Vardy can behave like Kante, retaking the ball hiigh up the pitch and scoring the goal afterwards.

And basically, that makes him the best supersub I have, as he is great in scoring goals late in the game or helping you to hold the ball and defend the result. He helped me a lot to get 12-1 today.

On the other hand, he is not a great great dribbler. Don't get me wrong - he isn't clunky or stiff on the ball but he won't let you dribble like Mertens or do some 4* sm which I found useful sometimes. also his left foot isn't great, but I would rathter give him 3,5 * - he is much better than Salah with his weak foot I would say. And also his passing may be disapointing, especially long passes are ineffective - the short ones are ok.

All in all, I would highly reccomend You doing this SBC - for 20k (or for free as most people have some 83s in their clubs) You get the cheapest Premier League 86 what makes him potentially useful for SBCs. What's more, it's simply great card to use for most people - as a supersub or regular player. Jamie won't score a beautiful longshot after passing 4 opponents with elastico and rainbow flick but he will save your ass, scoring a sweaty, outpacing the defenders or just simply by performing an accurate shot from inside the box.

I would say, he's like Werner IF but 20k instead of 200k, so GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY!

-pace

-shooting inside the box

-high agrression and composure

-decent defending that allows to retake the ball high up the pitch or defend in last minutes

-3*/3* (but the weak foot is okay - he can score with his left)

-long passing

-dribbling could be better

Vardy, a real game changer

I decided to buy this TOTSS Vardy when I saw his stats, and his price who was only 800k at this time. I wasn't disappointed. He is a real game changer, I use him for all my futchampion, and he was THE player of my futchampion. He is real fast, one of the faster player I used in the game. His shoot is amazing, one shoot= one goal with this guy. I'm not a skiller player, so his 3 stars skills wasn't a problem, but it c...

Jamie Vardy POTM - Fantastic Mr. Fox

To begin with, I'm basically a gold 2 or a gold 1 player. When this card was about to release I thought that this would atleast cost me 100k or 200k. But EA had other ideas and has given us one of the top strikers from EPL for about 15-20k. I Play him at ST in 4-2-3-1 as a Get in Behind ST using SNiper Che. Now breaking down Vardy's Stats, Pace: He is super fast and can will make crazy r...

Perfect Get In Behind ST

So I got Jamie Vardy from my guaranteed and slotted him into my team next to my Red TOTSSF Jordan Henderson (who is amazing as well) and I was excited. I play him at striker in a 4231 with Dennis Bergkamp, Moses Simon and FB Saint Maximim at CAMS and Vardy has stolen the show in champs so far. His weak foot feels like a 5* and his power shots across goal or near post are perfect. His pace is incredible, he feels faster than...
