87 - FUT Birthday
4.0
GOOD, but not game-changing
By veS1, 04-04-2020

This guy is pretty good option if you are on a budget. There are few better options at his position for his price. However, don't expect a game-changer. He is quite inconsistent. One game he will run the show, the next one you won't notice Lemar on the pitch.


From the very beginning you can see that his dribbling is quite good. Don't expect a Neymar-type player, but still you can skill through one or two defenders. With hunter applied his pace is decent, especially the burst of pace after L1 dribbling. However, he isn't as fast as your Kents or Mbappes. Passing is nice, nothing to brag about.


There was, however, two major cons with this card - positioning and finishing. As you expect from his med/med workrates and 82 base finishing, he lacks quality in the final third. He rarely makes runs on his own and will waste you some chances. One time it was very annoying, as he hit the post from a very easy chance - resulting in me losing the champs game. His 5* WF and finesse traits can be useful, though.


If you can spend some more money, I strongly recommend to get another card, like SS Vinicius. He was much better LCAM for me. If you are on a tight budget, he can provide some good links.

Actually really good
By Limbombz, 09-04-2020

I'm writing this review because I was very pleased with my purchase of fut birthday Thomas Lemar. Before I get into how he played, I'd like to mention I'm a division 4/5 player and average gold 2 in the weekend league (I'm not the greatest player). Anyways, he is actually pretty amazing. Excluding pires and mbappe, he is definitely the best french LM/LW/LF in game. 4* skills and 5* weak foot is obviously great and he is very well rounded. I play him in 433 and switch him to the right side in-game. As an RW he is absolutely amazing. All he has to do is cut inside towards the left, and finesse it in. Almost all his finesse shots go in. He fits the meta quite perfectly and is a budget option for those that can't afford mbappe. I'm not the greatest skiller but from the skills I do know how to perform, he performs them perfectly. The only downside to him personally is that he's quite weak. His stamina is also not the greatest, 85, however, if you keep him at stay forward like I do his stamina doesn't drain fast at all and can easily play the full 90 minutes. I use a hunter on him and would highly recommend it on him. His workrates do not affect the gameplay that much and personally may bolster his defensive stats in the attack.

  1. finesse shot trait
  2. 5* weak foot
  3. 4* skills
  4. Amazing links
  5. Really good dribbling
  6. Low centre of gravity (fits meta very well)
  7. Actually pretty good freekicks (tried once, scored once)
  1. strength, however, his speed and dribbling makes up for it
  2. his finishing is not the greatest, however, he has the finesse shot trait meaning he will score practically every finesse inside and outside the box
  3. medium/medium work rates (personally he has not underperformed because of this)

Surprisingly Solid
By SquagglyCat, 11-04-2020

Pulled him out of one of those 2 83+ player packs so I'm stuck with him undtradeable. Being at Atleti fan, I was upset he was the one chosen to be in the FUT birthday squad but decided to give him a shot since he'd fit in the team. The card stats don't look awesome but he has really played a key role throughout most of the games I've played with him. I used a Sniper chem to up the finishing and make him as agile as possible (it worked). The pace is OK, his agility and acceleration are extremely noticeable though. He won't outrun defenders after he's past them but he gets the first step more often than not. The shooting is fantastic! Although he has the finesse shot trait, his right foot finesse shots haven't worked out for me. The game gives me the animation of the player about to fall after the shot so I stopped even trying. Besides that, both feet finishing is very good and as mentioned before, his dribbling is amazing! He's a small player and the Sniper almost maxes out his key dribbling stats. He feels very responsive and although I haven't used Neymar in this game, I would compare Lemar to Neymar from FIFA 19.

Best card under 100k?
By liamholl1, 08-05-2020

Baught this card for 101k and still think he was a steal. With La Liga totssf coming out he should drop a bit more so you can get him even cheaper. This card with a Hunter chem style is unbelievable. the 99 pace alongside the 90 shooting feels surreal in game, looks like he just walks past full backs at times.


The one thing that surprised me most about this card is that he scores so many free kicks. I'm shocking at free kicks in fifa 20 but he is unbelievably accurate. played him at LCAM role in a 4-2-3-1 (2) and thats where you really see his worth. finesse shots outside the box makes him a huge addition, as defences are forced to guard him, leaving space for other attackers to take.

defending at times isnt great, but thats not what you're buying this card to do


5'7 means sometimes he gets pushed off the ball


Med-med work rate (although I didnt feel it in game, he was still excellent off ball)

Really Good
By oweat, 27-04-2020

I bought him because I thought he might be a decent player and he linked in my team well. Also, I am on a small budget and he was relatively cheap. Honestly I did not expect much from him as he only caused me around 80k. I use him as the central attacking mid in a 4231 narrow and he has been amazing. He dribbles very well and feels faster than his pace in my opinion. He can't always beat the last defender on breakaways but for the most part he does a good job. His finesse shots are very good on his left however his right is not so good. He is pretty good at finishing for the most part and he is just nice to have in the team.
