23 Games as ST in 4231 and LST in 4222

By sale44, 04-05-2020

Packed him untradeable and used him in WL instantly, since I have Sane and Fernandinho in my squad anyway.

He had 36 goals and 7 assists in 23 games, with Laudrup being his main partner on 20 goals and 22 assists in 30 matches.

4231 - ST with Sane - Laudrup - Raul behind.

4222 - LST with Laudrup as RST, Sane and Raul behind

Info about my skill: I started FIFA 20 playing about 6 weeks ago, and sacked 20-10, 20-8 and 22-8 records the last three WLs. I hate playing for possession myself, have a fast playstyle and hate full meta squads.

Mahrez is my first "real" endgame player and it took me 2-3 games to bring his complete power on the field. He feels quite quick and besides the "low" reactions, he is still able to get rebounds with fast tackles after losing the ball. 5* skills are exceptional as a fast ST and 4* WF felt like 5* for me in some situations. Some of his passes just got me like "wow, even better than what I had in mind" and his finishing is satisfying in nearly all situations, with a few weak shots when the GK was close to him. His first touch is great, setting him up for shots really well.

99 stamina is sick. He can still rocket past defenders in minute 115. Med/Med workrates are truly not the best, but it was ok for me in most situations, sometimes I had to pass the ball one more time around him to wait for him to get in position. He does feel strong in some occasions, but gets bullied more often if the dribbling is not on point.

My gut says he would be awesome as central CAM in 4231 as well, but losing efficiency as CAM in 4222 or outer CAM in a 4231. I haven't testet it yet, since I need him as finisher.

Perfect CAM

Played with him as a central CAM in 4-2-3-1Honestly, he feels amazing. His dribbling is spectacular. Although he is a bit high, he feels very light. His long-shots with his shot power are very good. He can strike top corner from 20+meters easily. His work rates make him sometimes stay at the edge of the box, and slowly join attack in the build-up, which is meh. His pace is fantastic, so you can easily play him at the...

The sweetest Winger

This player is the most agile dribbler I've ever played. 5 stars of technical moves give him a touch of magic. 4 weaker foot stars are perfect for playing on the right wing.If Manchester city passes their playoffs, I believe this card will be one of ...

Riyad The King of skills

I used this Mahrez CAM, RW and ST I tried it and he is a machine. He can dribble so good that he feels like Neymar. Mahrez is so clinical for me and he scored many goals. He has 5* skills so he feels amazing. 4* weak foot feels like 5* weak foot. This card is so similar to Neymar.
