90 - FUT Birthday SBC
5.0
Unbelievable
By DCWSimon, 28-03-2020

So about two weeks ago I restarted my account. I just wanted to build a new squad with new players that would come out. When I saw this card I was absolutely stoked on getting him and I was able to do him for 60k with item out of my club. Oh boy, I do not regret that. You got to now that I played him as a CAM and as a striker with the Hunter chemistry style.


The card is only out for a few hours and I’ve played 10 weekend league games with him so far, and I can tell you that he is unbelievable. I’m a bad player overall and I hope to get Gold 3 in a good weekend. This card made it so much fun to play though. Managed to get 8/2 in WL which is insane for me.


His 5* weak foot is incredible. Being able to bang in goals from both feet is really OP this year, so this card is not an exception.


With Hunter he is actually quick enough. Manages to get to the ball early and it doesn’t feel like he needs another pace upgrade.


His shooting stats are insane as well. I noticed that especially volleys are insanely overpowered. He managed to get goals with volleys from angles where I couldn’t even pull it off if there was no goalkeeper. He does it with Ter Stegen in goal.


Passing is enough, I use him in 4-1-2-1-2 (2) where all the players are close to each other. Quick combinations are great with him.


I’ve seen people complain about the 77 balance stat. I gotta admit that I somehow didn’t check that stat before getting him, and it really didn’t influence his game. I mean that I never wondered: ‘Wow his balance must be really bad’. He felt great on the ball and I have no complaints about it.


So his physical stat is the only downside of this card. You can pretty much sub him after 70 minutes, which is fine by me because I have enough good subs. His strength is terrible and I haven’t really seen him win challenges. If you need a player who can win a challenge or two, he isn’t ideal.


Overall I believe that his card is an absolute steal. It made the game more fun for me to play and I’d recommend him to everybody honestly.

Absolute beast

I tried it in division rivals to see if it turned out for me in fut champions, but his passes are too smooth, his shot is brutal and he doesn't feel that agility 84 with that style of chemistry, it's worth every coin, also his passes are a work of art and a joy to watch,both legs are excellent.For me is one of the best fut birthday card they have released in this fifa

shot placed

weak foot

passes well placed

every pass is good

Stamina-but he can play all game long and you don't feel that

A must have
By TomDeleG, 28-03-2020

Alright, I know this card has been out for a day as of writing this review, but it is a must have in your club. As soon as this SBC was released, I completed it. I had to wait though coz I did't finish it until late. After a day's playing with him, he has put a strong contender for one of my favourite cards this year. I originally had the scream Ozil, which was decent but only had a 2* weak foot, and I have to say that this is a major upgrade to that card. In my first game with the card ( a division rivals game) he bagged himself a debut goal and 2 assists, that has become a formality for him as he gets an assist every game. Shooting-wise, the finesse shot trait is extremely useful to this card as he can pick up the ball on the edge and have a great attempt on net no matter what. His physicality has been upgraded significantly and it is a huge bonus as he won't get shoved off the ball as easily as his scream card. His pace is alright, but for him to be regarded as a great card, I feel that his pace needs to be a minimum 88. However the pace issue can be fixed with a Chemistry style. I personally play him on a maestro as his main job it to get past the defenders and play it into the strikers in my team. A major downside is his defending, but what else can you expect from a card with 28 defending and low work rate. He cannot win the ball back so easily in the final third and centre of the park like players such as Aouar, Fred and Kovacic (All of these being objective cards), but it is made up with his attacking play. In conclusion, I would say that it is an outstanding card to have, especially with a PL based team, however there are better alternatives out there for a much higher price. Just do the sbc and try him out

He sees everything in the pitch
By ZeusNeko, 30-04-2020

I did this guy because I´m a bit fanboy of Özil and this is the first usabel card of him in so much time. His passing is just unbelievable, he does short passes in the area that give goals, he doesn´t fail any long pass or cross. His shooting is very good with both feet, but his finesse with his weak foot isn´t like his left footed finesse. His dribbling is very good because of his ball control, but he isn´t that agile, and that isn´t the best because he gets bullied by every defender. His pace is enough to guide a counterattack but he can win in a half-field race.

Mesut Ozil Review.
By alvaro260, 01-04-2020

Hi guys. So I saw the Ozil SBC and in need of an attacker for my squad as I've had gold Aubameyang since the start of FIFA, I needed to do it and it was a decent price. I ended up doing it mostly with untradeables, with only 50k spent. I used him with HUNTER chem style as a right ST in a 442 with get in behind instructions, and this card is amazing. He scores goals, get assists and somehow has 19 goals and 11 assists in only 11 games, although two were squad battles. I'm not sure if he can keep this up however he looks like an amazing card. There are some good arsenal cards this year, like Flashback and Shapeshifters Luiz, FFS Tierney, Player Moments Bellerin, as well as all the Aubameyang cards, as well as the endless premier league and german options, including FUT birthday Bellarabi (I might do a review on him depending on how many likes this gets), so he is easy to link as well, especially with the icon swaps being so good.

  • Pace. I've seen some people use sniper or engine on him and that may work as a central CAM, but as I striker I had to use Hunter and this gives him 96 acceleration and 92 sprint speed, which also makes up for his low agility and balance while dribbling. Despite his Medium/Low workrates, he still makes good runs in behind. This may be because he has 99 attacking positioning and he rarely misses when through on goal.


  • Shooting. Like earlier mentioned, he rarely misses when through on goal. This may be becsause of 90 composure but he has very good finishing, good shot power with hunter. He rarely misses any chances at all and his finesse shots are really good. His curve is 90 and he has the finesse shot trait so most of the time I use the finesse shot with him and he rarely misses. Add that to the 5 star week foot and his shooting is amazing.


  • Passing. Just like in real life, his passing is amazing and his through balls are usually perfectly weighted. Add that to the 5 star week foot and he can pass off either foot really well. I didn't use this much as a striker but I switched him to central CAM a few times and this was heavily noticable there.


  • Dribbling. You may have thought this wasn't a strong point but despite having only 84 agility and 77 balance, he suprisingly feels quite fast and agile when dribbling with the ball. This may be because of 92 dribbling. I know this stat doesn't matter a lot, but he has 97 ball control and this is suprisingly noticable as he never has a bad touch and I feel really safe when he's on the ball because of this.


  • 5 Star Weak Foot. I have already mentioned this a lot, but 5 star weak foot is one of the best things to have this year and it what makes this card so good and what makes his shooting incredibly consistent.




  • Work Rates. I usually don't like attackers with medium/low or medium/medium but for this card it seems to be fine because of the stats and attacking positioning. However, I could only imagine what this card would be if he had a high attacking work rate.
  • Stamina. 83 stamina isn't very good at this point in the game and he gets a bit tired at the end but not as much as others because of his workrates. However, I don't sub him off because he is so good and there are other players in my team with even worse stamina.
  • Defending/Physical. I know defending isn't really important as an attacker but in the past I have used attackers (like Traore and Prime Kluivert) that can suprisingly make a tackle and if they lose the ball, they may have a chance to win it back, but this isn't the case with ozil and it's probably because of his 55 aggression. His strength is alright at 70 and can hold off some defenders, but when up against the likes of Van Dijk and Varane, he doesn't really have a chance.
