96 - Premium SBC
4.5
Aduriz the clinical beast
By leobetancur90, 16-06-2020

I thought I'd have a go and get Aduriz through the premium SBC as I use a La Liga based squad and need a solid striker to lead from the front. Have used regular Griezmann as CF recently, however coming up against TOTS defenders the last few weeks he wasn't keeping up. Despite the poor Agility and Balance on this card, Aduriz has a good turn of pace and unbelievable shot. I stuck an Engine on him so his balance increased to 76, which is enough to help him turn defenders in and out in the box. For some reason his finesse shot has been underwhelming, especially compared to Griezmann's- however, his 99 positioning means he's always in the right place at the right time. He has missed a lot of chances I would have expected him to bury, but I need to get a bit more used to him- also the fact he's in the right place at the right time every time is perfect if you want to play him as a target man.


He has 19 goals and 3 assist in 9 games for me and certainly feels like he can lead the line for me with in a 4-2-3-1 formation. I tell him to Stay Forward due to his 66 stamina, however he's been able to finish 90 minute games no issue and terrorize defences. His strength and aggression don't feel as high as the card stats say, but he bullies defenders usually then smashes it into the top corner. He also has a great header on him. If you're after a player than can smash in goals for a reasonably low price, honestly, look no further.

  • Shot power and finishing
  • Header
  • Speed (feels 90ish)
  • Passing- solid passer for holding or linking up with CAM
  • Agility, first touch lets him down on occasion despite 99 ball control
  • Feels like he gets bullied off the ball some times I wouldn't expect that to happen

Ignore the negative comments.

This card is an absolute beast. Although yes he has shocking stamina , balance and agility also only 3* wf i still thought i was do the sbc as i have a la liga squad and have been wanting to upgrade for a while from my joao felix future star and so far im very glad i did, he has scored in 6 consecutive games and of which he got 2 goals in 2 of them (a average div 4 player) also has 7 assists in 6 games. Really liking this ...

Bit weird ngl

This card is strange. He scores some mental chances but then misses some chances, that aren’t easy, but I’d expect him to score. His pace with an engine is good. Feels about 90-92 pace. His shooting is not as good as it says, but he’s still got a lot of power. His dribbling is good, but, not that good. His passing is brilliant. Fantastic through balls. His strength and aggression is the best I’ve used, miles better ...
