87 - Player Moments SBC

4.5

King Muriel

By aidangriggs, 22-03-2020

When this SBC came out, it got loads of stick - 150k for this a month before TOTS? I, too, was skeptical, but being an Atalanta fan and having a Serie A squad, I decided to do the SBC.

Boy, was it worth it.

For some context, I'm a Gold 1 or 2 player in FUT champs and usually hover around the low end if Division 3 or the high end of Division 4 in Rivals. My squad is good but not great - probably about 1.5 Million coins worth of SBC players and about 700k of tradeable players.

I applied the Hunter chem style, and he played right striker alongside headliners Mertens in a 4-1-2-1-2 (2).

Let's start with the non-stat info - 4*4*, H/M, 5'10" is very good. Obviously he isn't easy to link, but if you have a full Serie A squad or you can link him with icons, that can make it much easier.

His pace is ELECTRIC. With a Hunter, almost maximum acc. and max sprint speed is awesome, and once he gets in to stride on a breakaway, it'll be VERY difficult for anyone but OPara and TOTY Van DIjk to catch him.

His shooting was LIGHTS OUT. There are some player (Ryan Kent, Moses Simon, Heung-min Son) that just have something about their shots that just make them unstoppable. Now, 93 Finishing with a chem style isn't exceptional, but his finishing was impeccable. And his shot power? Oh My WORD. Again, there are some players that just strike the ball so much harder than 99 Shot Power (Flashback Tevez last year, TOTY Kane the previous year). Muriel is one of them - his shots are just unreal.

His passing isn't special, but easily good enough for striker - 80+ in vision and short passing is more than enough for a striker.

His dribbling is good but not great. He doesn't have the lean body type, and his dribbling won't blow your mind, but again, it's good enough.

HIs defending is irrelevant.

His physicals were one of the things that impressed me the most about this card - he feels STRONG. Stocky body type and 86 strength will make it difficult for most defenders to push him off the ball. I kid you not, he beat Sol Campbell Prime Moments in a shoulder-to-shoulder challenge and proceeded to score on a breakaway.

Now, I know it probably wasn't smart to dump a lot of untradeables in to this SBC right before TOTS, but I am going to thoroughly enjoy this card until then.

The best bargain in Serie A

I like to review players, and this goal smuggling bandit is going to get my first nod for FIFA 20.He is the only sub 1k player in my main squad, with most players being the premium 10-30k Serie A players. I've rotated almost every decent looking attacking player that I could afford, including a long time favorite Belotti, Balotelli, the Quags, Correa, Immobile. Muriel was the standout.I'm...
