91 - FUT Birthday
5.0
A surprise, an INSANE ST
By hbart, 10-04-2020

I came to a point with FIFA where the game became boring and a bit dull, i decided to spice up my life with the United legend himself ;). I started him at ST (with a sniper chem style) in a 4231, with FUT Birthday Costa at LAM; Ben Yedder at CAM and Mbappe at RAM, and boy he did not disappoint. The 5*5* upgrade combined with his 94 shot power is game changing, left or right foot inside the box he will score.


There are only a couple of minor issues to consider before buying the card; his strength stat at 63 is not a lie, his skinny stock in game doesn't help him in the area. Di Maria doesn't have the finesse shot trait which does lead to some of his shots from outside the box to be underwhelming.


This version of Di Maria is however insane, in DIV 2 and WL (G1/E3 standard): Games - 54, Goals - 67, Assists - 24


Do not, i repeat DO NOT waste my guy out on the wing.


Pace: 9/10 - No surprise he is rapid, can break any backline with ease.

Dribbling: 9.5/10 - Scoop turns into shots are OP with him, has the sticky effect hard to tackle and take the ball off him.

Shooting: 8.5/10 - Inside the box he is unstoppable, makes great runs and has very good positioning

Passing: 10/10 - Very good passing and has a very good FK on him.

Defending: N/A - Irrelevant

Physical - 8.5/10 - Stamina is not an issue at striker has lasted full 90 + ET on numerous occasions

Shooting from outside of the box is unpredictable.

Physically has a weak stock in game (not major)

Formation: 4231
Position: ST
Games: 54
GPG: 1.24
APG: 0.44

The perfect player

This is my first review of any player ever, but for Di Maria it's totally worth it to write one. My god, where do i have to start?This player, with double 5*, he's phenomenal. Give him the ball and he will dribble past any defender on the game. Even the overpowered flashback Boateng can't handle him. The dribbling of Di Maria is so smooth that it makes it so hard for any defender to catch him. In front of goal...

Wow

I packed this card in the Ligue 1 guaranteed TOTSSF pack and was initially a little disappointed. I stuck him in a team and tried him out regardless, and wow was I proven wrong. I played him as the central CAM in a 4231 and he was incredible. Just for context, I used him for 10 games in division 3 and am a consistent Gold 1 level player in Champs

A Must Have!

I was lucky enough to pack untradable Mbappe and because of that i thought why not do the Di Maria SBC since he will be in my team for a good amount of time because of the link. I went into it with low expectations because of the 2 Star Weak Foot as i am sure most of use looking at this will have reservations about but i can say that when i used him in game ( Fut Champions ) i didnt notice it really at all. He played CAM fo...
