95 - Flashback SBC

4.5

Great Player, you should do him!

By JannisFG, 06-06-2020

Hey guys! Yesterday great Mertens came out and I thought of spending all my untrades from over the last weeks to complete him. And now, after playing the first 10 Weekend League games with him, I am totally convinced by the power of this card. Before I'll explain the pros and cons, I just wanted to say that I played him as a left striker next to Son TOTS in a 4-2-2-2 formation with a basic chemistry style because I thought this would boost all necessary stats (Sprint Speed, Shot Power, bit of Passing/Dribbling and the strength).

Pace! With 99 Acceleration and 95 Sprint Speed, this guy is easily one of the best strikers if you have space e.g. in a counter attack
Shooting! Yes, he can be used as a striker because of his deadly finishing 98 and the shot power 96 with basic is also really good. He nearly scores every shot inside the box with his right foot.
Positioning! There is one stat (Attacking Position 99) that is completely underrated. If you are playing against a depth 1 player, it is not too hard to find the gap in the defence. He runs perfectly.
Passing! Yes, he really feels like one of the best CAMS even though I played him as a striker. If he drops back, his passes and his vision allows him to play the most important role in my attack.
Dribbling! Nothing but to say that this is the most agile player I have played in FIFA 20. I did not notice the 88 composure.

Weak Foot! Yes, on his card it says he has a 4 star weak foot but for me, this is more likely to be 3 star. Inside the box he did not finish well with his left foot, but with his dribbling he can turn to a good position for his right foot so this is not a big issue.
Physical! Of course, I didnt expect Mertens to be a powerful type of player. But you notice his strength very often and he feels kinda dead in extra time with his stamina.

From Gold 3 Player to Gold 1/Elite 3

I was saving all my coins in the beginning of FIFA to buy this card as my main man next to first Kai Havertz and later the Havertz IF, however by the time I had those 280k, he rose alreay up to 340k and was extinct... So I was longly thinking if he would be worth the 400k which I had to spend in the end for a fresh one and boy, I dont regret it at all <3 He scores from all positions, he is so agile and fast that his stre...

Hard one...

Mertens can easily score when put in the correct position but if faced against any strong defenders he will struggle.He will be pushed off the ball 9/10 with the 1/10 being if you get a lucky bounce.
