97 - TOTS

4.5

He's a CAM not a ST..!!!

By LordSarang, 23-05-2020

I packed TOTS Benzema in La Liga 81+ picks and oh man, I was overjoyed.. The stats looked so good and I needed a ST in my team and he fitted in perfectly...

I couldn't wait to get started but little did I know my joy was short lived. Even with those mouth watering stats as a lone ST in 4321 he was awfully bad not sure if it's the work rates or if it was agility/balance, I always found him drifting to sides and when he is in range he used to miss absolute sitters. I was so damm annoyed and was looking at Bundesliga TOTS ST's to replace him with, and then it happened a rival's game I was chasing from 2 goals down and I changed to an attacking 352. All of a sudden Karim was everywhere literally making brilliant runs, stringing passes, off ball movements without even me triggering them..!!

It was as if my karim was possessed. He got himself a 4 goal and lead me to victory. Only for me to realize he was playing at CAM when I saw the match rating tab as I had updated my 352 custom tactics. I mean come on who plays Benzema at CAM ? Have you seen Real Madrid play does he ever play at CAM ? No, but think again he is always at his best performance when playing as a SS/CF and if he has an absolute finished partnered with him he would do wonders.. Remember when Karim and CR7 played together. Once I got this thought I went to market and got myself a PIM Kluivert who would suit me team, budget and could play as target man as well. Since then there is no looking back all my attacks go through him. He is the architect of my attack and surprisingly he comes reasonably behind to defend as well..!!!

Also I have very basic instructions on him nothing too special. When I used him at ST I hated him, now he's the most potent attacking player in my team and I absolutely love this card.

In fact this is one of the best card I have used this FIFA.

If your thinking about getting a CAM with french/liga links he would definitely suit. Go try him.

At CAM, brilliant off the ball movement. Always at the right place at the right time
At CAM, PACE PACE PACE. He is so fast he will be off before the defenders can think about catching him
At CAM, pass master. Close to the PIM pirlo passing level.
At CAM, Shooting is excellent. Inside the box he finds the net 9/10 times.
At CAM, can come back and help in defend
Very smooth, When dribbling feels like butter..!!!

Finesse shots outside the box, I know I have put shooting as pro but his Finesse shots from distance isn't good and it's purely down to not having that trait. If your a person who prefers to take lots of Finesse shots from distance with your CAM then you will find him disappointing. But inside the box no mercy..!!!
Price. I would wait for him to fall below 500K mark as at his current price of 1M you can find better CAM's

Benzema School Report

Chemistry:Karim is excelling in chemistry this year. He has strong relationships with his classmates (in particular Bale and Hazard), however, can disturb class with Raphael Varane sometimes as they get on so well. Thanks to our pen pal chemistry programme, Benzema also gets on well with those abroad in France (Mbappe and Lacazette).Grades:Karim is experienci...

Karim Benzema

You will be suprised

When I saw this card and his price I taught I will do him to restore my fodder after Lenglet sbc. But I decided to use him to finish off the coman sbc (Score 5 goals with french players in wins rivals) I played 9 games wih him and he scored 6 goals and got 2 assists. After using this card i bought his 97 Benzema. Conclusion he is a must do sbc he can either be a good super sub, good starter in a cheap starting 11 or atleast...
