It’s release week for FIFA 21; given the early access and web app grinding it feels more like halfway through the season, but we are only just getting started. This weekend in the absence of the Weekend League, I made it my goal to qualify into Division 1 along with getting my hands on OTW Diogo Jota. I am happy to say that it was a mission accomplished on both fronts and this was largely down to my newest signings: Wissam “The Rat King” Ben Yedder and Allan “Gucci” Saint-Maximin. We kick start this weekend's review by looking at the later of the two Frenchman, as Saint-Maximin received a lethal looking Inform for his goal and assist performance against Burnley a weekend ago. After waiting to see where the dust would settle I ended up picking up Saint-Maximin for 225k and immediately made room for the speedster at the top of my ever-consistent 4-4-2 formation. Due to my concerns with the passing and shooting statistics, I went with the DEADEYE chemistry style and immediately set to work on the Road to Division 1 grind. Allan Saint-Maximin brought the lightning to the perfect storm in the following squad:
I couldn’t help myself. I have been trying to play it cool and avoid going too high with my ratings to kick start the season, but this card needs its praise. Please remember that these ratings are only good for about a month as new cards coming out start to change the landscape of what is an “8” versus a “9”. But having used a variety of cards already in Rivals, in Drafts, and even in Co-op… I can say without hesitation that this is one of my favorites… and one of the best. It all starts with the pace, which is already proving vital in FIFA 21; 95 ACCELERATION and 95 SPRINT SPEED border on the ridiculous, and this card absolutely jets down the pitch. I even found myself moving ASM out to the wing in the second half to terrorize the tired legs of my opponent’s wingbacks… and it was here that Saint-Maximin simply racked up a large portion of his 19 assists. The game becomes simple with a player like this…:
1. Find the wing
2. ASM get in behind
3. Cut into the box
4. Take your time and pick out a pass.
5. Goal & Repeat
Main Statistic - Dribbling
Dribbling Rating: 9.5/10
While this card can absolutely dance on the ball with the close control dribbling and even simple left-stick dribbling… I would rather talk about another key component to FIFA 21, dribbling at pace. Currently, there are only three cards available with the pace (95+) and dribbling (90+) to match the levels of Inform ASM. Mbappe (1.42 million) and Pele (4.87 million) … obviously there are other factors involved in these price tags, but you can’t go wrong when a card valued at 220k can match two of the most important statistics with two of the absolute best cards in the game.
Main Attribute - 4 Star Weak Foot
While Ansu Fati was good… ASM is fantastic. I would say that ASM easily scored over 60% of his 18 goals in 20 matches on his left foot. There is really only a finite difference between his preferred right and lethal left and that comes out when trying to finesse the ball far post. In trying to get OTW Jota completed I had more experimentation with this technique than normal, and while I was successful on two occasions, I did not feel confident attempting these finishes after a couple of terrible misses. But in the end, you have to look at the experience as a whole, and what I experienced was closer to 5 STAR WEAK FOOT perfection than anything else.
Value/Coins & Good vs. Bad
Value/Coins Rating: 4.5/5
Good vs Bad Rating: 5/5
I have sat here for too long flipping back and forth from a 4.5 to a 5. I realize that it is stupid and in the end “who cares?” But I always want to be as accurate and honest as I can and at this point, I am going lower due to the early stages of the game. If this were a month into FIFA 21 and managers had more coins I would go with a hard and fast 5/5 … the card is insane, and the 37 contributions in 20 matches are what I would normally expect in Weekend League where you get the odd match off. However, I can not overlook the fact that there are quite a few cards under this value that can do almost the exact same job… Anthony Martial and the new Ansu Fati POTM are just two that come to mind. They are not quite the Gucci God himself, but they come close for over 40k+ less.
There were two categories that were always going to worry me with this card… pre-chemistry style the 70 STRENGTH and 81 SHORT PASSING were slightly concerning. But yet again ASM sprinkles the star dust over everything and his 70 STRENGTH feels amplified by his pace and 5 STAR SKILLS, making it difficult for opponents to really get a clean challenge into Saint-Maximin’s body. There were a few times ASM was bullied, but overall it was a non-issue. As for the passing… the +15 SHORT PASSING boost to 96 with DEADEYE really did the trick and finding the right angle and weight of pass felt effortless at times.
Closing Words
You know things went well when my Good vs Bad rating is used as a glorified endorsement for how amazing the card was. Saint-Maximin has already become a FUT legend and this card will only work towards increasing this status. I know for myself I am struggling with the fact that I need to sell ASM at some point to continue with reviews next week… and the thought of entering my first Weekend League without this weapon in my arsenal is a depressing and worrisome thought. In the end that is the ultimate issue with this card… it is going to cost you, and at this stage in the game, it is probably going to be a big part of your budget as well. If you can, and do end up fitting this mad lad in your squads, let me know how he is performing… I can tell you for me he was the key to moving into Division 1, and I think he would open doors for you too. Cheers for reading.
People call him the cheap Neymar, but he is even better. He splits the defense of your opponent like Messi did to Boateng in 2015. He is faster than the Flash and got more skills than Sean Garnier.
?This man is absolute madness. His pace is out of this world, his dribbling is on point and his passing is great too. He is not an Akinfenwa in words of strength but to be honest he doesn't need it. He passes by defenders so quickly, he is untouchable and because of that his strength is not a necessity.
You would think his shooting is mediocre or below average with just 70 finishing but it's the opposite. Slap a chem on this guy which gives a boost to his shooting play him as a striker and you are gucci.
He will give you more hattricks than matches played. Jokes aside he is a real game changer, because of him I enjoy FIFA 21 like the golden times in the past. The times Doumbia, Gervinho and Ibarbo were like MSN. I play him as a (left) striker in the 4-2-2-2 formation next to Werner IF. Compared to Saint-Maximin, Werner is a good player but not as great as Maximin is. He is about 300K coins right now and he is totally worth it. Try to pick him up ASAP because he will lift your game to the next level.

Speed
Skills are smooth
4 weak foot, really feels like 5 tbh
Great to link; French and PL
Game changer
Best attacker in this price class (and above too)
You will spend too much of your time on playing FIFA because he makes the game so much fun to play
I packed Saint Maximin so i figuered that I had to write a rewiev. I was looking forward to try Saint Maximim's FIFA 21 base card, and I was thrilled when he managed to make he's way to TOTW. Saint-Maximin is just such a smooth player! He sends the deffenders one way and the chop hi's way the other way. Finishes with both right, left AND FINESSE!
For 350k he is a bit overprised, beacuse he will dropp to around 150.
I thought i never feel a diffrence between his normal gold and if card but it it is a huge diffrence the pace and dribbling feels better and the shooting is enough for a winger.
I got this guy untradeable however many months ago. In all that time since, I have used tons of wingers (Neymar, Rashford, El Shaarawy, etc.). This guy is STILL my favourite. Another example of a card that is just way better than the stats suggest.
Pace: 10/10
Obviously.
Shooting: 7/10
Biggest issue with the card. I use a deadeye which puts the shooting up to a decent stat, but that's just a chem style boost. If you're in a decent position it shouldn't be a problem, but he'll miss the occasional 1 on 1 and won't be much use outside the box. 4* weak foot is nice.
Passing: 8/10
Very good passing for a winger. I'm never really in a situation where he needs to play long passes, but i'd assume those likely wouldn't be the best. More than good enough as a LF here though, which is where i've mostly used him.
Dribbling: 10/10 (15/10)
10/10 is the maximum I can put on here. I would give him a 15 if I could.
If you played FIFA 18 you will remember Romain Alessandrini's inform cards. To this day that is still the best FIFA card I have ever used. His dribbling, in particular, was absolutely broken, and he was probably the best card I have ever used on the ball. I've used many many good cards over the years on the ball, including even TOTY Messi last year. Why is this relevant? Saint-Maximin is better on the ball than ALL OF THEM. Good gameplay, bad gameplay, it won't matter. His card is unbelievably responsive. Also, you know, 5* skills. At this stage of the year, it's pretty much essential. Elasticos with this guy work wonders. Cannot say enough good things about the dribbling so i'll just stop there.
Defending: 3/10
I'll just give it a three. You're not using him centre back, who cares.
Physical: 6/10
Stronger than the stats suggest, but still not strong. Stamina gets to be an issue if you go past 90 minutes, and a slight problem around the 75th.
After 534 games with this guy, I can conclude he will likely not ever leave my team unless he gets an 85 IF.
Il make this quick and honest, as a ST or a CAM he's great, but as a winger he's not worth it. He is just wasted out wide and I mainly tried him as a winger but played him a few games in central positions and the improvement from central positions were great. His pace and dribbling with his 5 star skills is beautiful and applying a deadeye gives him alright shooting and decent passing.
All I can say is if you want him playing CAM or ST or maybe if your wingers get involved in goals, but in my opinion he is wasted as a winger especially as someone who costs 300K and you get other players for cheaper such as Son and Sterling
