92 - FUT Birthday

Has to suit your style of play

By StinoMaasje, 05-04-2020

So when this card first came out, I wanted to try this straight away. I had been using Griezmann in the beginning of fifa 20 and I really liked him back then. I bought him for 1.530.000, which is a fair price for a card with stats like these in my opinion. I put a hunter chem style on him to boost his pace, then I put him in striker in a 4-2-3-1 formation with Neymar behind him. Played a few rivals games with him and then went straight into the weekend league.

The first few games I really had to adjust my style of play. Before him I was using Mbappe in the striker position. Due to his splattering pace you outrun defenders pretty easily, and with his strength he also wins a 50-50 every now and then. Even with the hunter chem style, Griezmann didn't even get close to that pace. I wasn't expecting him to, but the difference was pretty big in my opinion. Griezmann also get's pushed of the ball easily in comparison to Mbappe. If your style of play is to play deep balls behind the defender, I would suggest Mbappe over Griezmann.

Then when I started to adjust my style of play, Griezmann's presence became more noticeable on the pitch. I started using him as a sort of "false 9", where I didn't play with through balls anymore, but by building up attacks slowly and keeping the ball in posession. This is where Griezmann stood out. Let me tell you this: If Griezmann gets the ball within 20 meters from the goal and he is able to get a shot off, it's probably a goal. Left foot, right foot, power shot, finesse shot, it doesn't really matter he can do it all. In 30 games of weekend league he managed to score 46 and assist 17. Especially his finesse shots from the edge of the box are something else.

Another point in which Griezmann stood out, is his passing. One word: phenomenal. I've seen this man giving trough balls to other attackers, disgusting. At some point he was even giving through balls which Xavi in his prime wouldn't even think about. Even in the shitty gameplay this weekend (at least, my gameplay was shitty) his passing was on point.

Overall, I would recommend him if he fits your style of play. Don't expect blistering pace from this guy of physical presence, but do expect an insane shot (with both feet) and insane passing. I'm switching back to Mbappe after this weekend because he fits better into my style of play.

(For context, I am a division 4 player who usually finishes gold 1 in weekend league)

A Real Gamechanger

I was really sceptical before trying Griezmann as it meant splashing all of my coins on him and usually I put pressure on them to perform in game and when they aren't an 11/10 I get peed off but this man really lived up to expectation. I decided at the last minute to change my team back to a 4231 and play Griezmann at CAM and what a good decision it was. He feels so slick on the ball and his balance and agility really are t...

Undeserved? Who Cares?

So I basically purged my club of all LaLiga rares doing the La Liga upgrade SBC. Boy was the purge worth it. I believe it was in my fifth pack that I got this magical man. You may say his inclusion in the TOTS is undeserved but that takes nothing away from the fact that the card is absolutely incredible. I played him at central CAM in a 4231 and he completely transformed my team. The pace upgrade can really be felt, he's ab...
