90 - FUT Birthday SBC

4.5

A must have

By TomDeleG, 28-03-2020

Alright, I know this card has been out for a day as of writing this review, but it is a must have in your club. As soon as this SBC was released, I completed it. I had to wait though coz I did't finish it until late. After a day's playing with him, he has put a strong contender for one of my favourite cards this year. I originally had the scream Ozil, which was decent but only had a 2* weak foot, and I have to say that this is a major upgrade to that card. In my first game with the card ( a division rivals game) he bagged himself a debut goal and 2 assists, that has become a formality for him as he gets an assist every game. Shooting-wise, the finesse shot trait is extremely useful to this card as he can pick up the ball on the edge and have a great attempt on net no matter what. His physicality has been upgraded significantly and it is a huge bonus as he won't get shoved off the ball as easily as his scream card. His pace is alright, but for him to be regarded as a great card, I feel that his pace needs to be a minimum 88. However the pace issue can be fixed with a Chemistry style. I personally play him on a maestro as his main job it to get past the defenders and play it into the strikers in my team. A major downside is his defending, but what else can you expect from a card with 28 defending and low work rate. He cannot win the ball back so easily in the final third and centre of the park like players such as Aouar, Fred and Kovacic (All of these being objective cards), but it is made up with his attacking play. In conclusion, I would say that it is an outstanding card to have, especially with a PL based team, however there are better alternatives out there for a much higher price. Just do the sbc and try him out

Unbelievable

So about two weeks ago I restarted my account. I just wanted to build a new squad with new players that would come out. When I saw this card I was absolutely stoked on getting him and I was able to do him for 60k with item out of my club. Oh boy, I do not regret that. You got to now that I played him as a CAM and as a striker with the Hunter chemistry style.The card is only out for a few hours and I’ve p...

Amazing CAM, he can do it all!

So I have OTW Pepe and POTM Auba so Özil fits straight into my squad no problem, and my god hes amazing, anyone who didnt take time to do the objective to get him is serious going to regret it! I play him as a right CAM in a 451 or a central CAM if I switch to a 4231 he can play both amazing and cutting in on his left foot makes him lethal

Mesut "Avatar Eyes" Özil Review

Mesut Özil is a great player attacking wise, but shockingly terrible defensively. I played him with Maestro at CM in a 433(2) for fun mostly in Division 6 Rivals and fun I did have. The best thing about him is his Dribbling and through balls. It feels like you are playing with Slender Man when you use him. His skinny frame allows you to get out of tight situations as well as his amazing ball control and dribbling stats. Hi...
