I had my doubts on doing this card but finally I decided to complete the SBC and I got surprised.
I don't consider myself as very good FIFA player but even in my hands it is a very good striker, first of all I would like
to talk about his pace and physical, those stats are the key in this card because he lacks of dribbling. Strikers like Gabriel Jesus
use their agility to open up a space in the defense but this card uses his strength and pace to take down the defenders finishing it
with great shooting stats, he can score from any distance and you can't feel the 3* wf, he does it very well and it really feels like a 5*wf.
The only thing that I didn't like it's that his height does not make any difference, he very bad playing in the air.
- Pace (once he starts running nobody reaches him)
- Shooting (really good shooting from short-mid distance)
- Strength (it's a beast)
- Composure
- Finishing
- Dribbling (it just not that kind of player)
- Balance
- Agility (sometimes it just feels too bad, it may depend of your connection)
- Jumping and head accuracy
- Passing (as I already said he's not that kind of player)
(this is my first review so sorry if I miss a couple things)
So I had my initial doubts however I had the players in the club and I had just completed Gnabry so I thought why not.
And all I can say is I was right to do it!
Haaland will get a lot of stick because he isn't agile or turns like a truck, but that's because you aren't playing him right! he is a FINISHER as the title says, give him the ball in the box and he will score! right foot or left foot or header doesn't matter! he scores them all, his 3* WF might aswell be 5*
So I will finish it off by saying DO IT, He is amazing and will not let you down! just make sure to play someone agile up top with him I personally use Joao Felix POTM as my agile ST and I have Freeze Gnabry and Freeze Thorgan Hazard on RAM and LAM in a 4-2-2-2
So deffo do it if you want a deadly striker and my advice is to use Engine them style for that pace and agility boost
Finishing
Pace
Strength
Heading
Weakfoot (doesn't feel like 3* at all)
Finesse shots
His passing isn't bad either
Dribbling, Genuinely isn't awful however he isn't obvs as agile he is just a finisher
Dear Erling,
I am going to be honest with u. You are not the best stiker in the game, but if you are not a meta **** and u just want to have fun, he is great. I am a Dortmund fan i like to have a left footed striker in my team. Plus i had my club stacked, so he cost me around 50k. I would not recommend paying 350k to be honest. He is an absolute beast on the ball, he can really walk trough the defence. His dribbling is alot better than i expected, he doesnt keep the ball close to him but he has some moves. He finishing is amazing by the way but that almost didnt have to be said his weakfoot is decent feels like 4* i would say. He is fast, but i would recommend some faster players around him. I used Bebou next to him in 41212(2) and baby zola at cam. He let me down in the air tho, he jumps like his pants are full of bricks. His passing is where i was really suprised, in a good way. He didnt miss 1 easy pass for me and gave some great assists. His stamina is good enough but i sub him anyway. And i wish all of u a merry Christmas :)

On Friday, after Lewy won the "The Best" award, I decided to complete his POTM SBC. But it was difficult to build a team around him, because I hadn't a lot of Bundesliga players. Then, EA dropped the Golden Boy, Erling Haaland POTM and Gnabry Freeze, and I was able to complete my team. I confess, I was scared at first, because of the lack of agility that Lewy and Haaland have. Anyways, I started my Wekeend League and got surprised. Erling is a BEAST. Guys, who has doubts in doing his SBC, just do it. He'll not desapoint you. The lack of agility that I was scared at first? Nah. Just press L2 and the defender will go down, seriously. And it's not that bad with engine, I swear. The 3* WF? Seems like 4*, maybe 5* depending of the moment, because his shoot stats are insane. Everyone always thought I was going to "force" with his left foot, but his right foot is very strong too. But if you don't want to use his right foot, it's OK. Be quick, go for the left and shoot. The goalkeeper will not have a chance. Other thing, he's def work hate is high, so, everytime he press the defender. When he loses the ball, he'll quickly try to steal it back, and most times he got it. Also, he's very very fast. With his help, I reached Elite 3 with one game left. He got 43 goals in 29 games.
Pace
Shooting
Headers
His Weak Foot is not that bad
His Agility and Balance is not that bad too
Strenght
Composure (HE'LL ALWAYS SCORE)
His passing isn't too god
Before I even talk about the quality of this card I want to first say, do not build a team around him. Only do him if you need a Bundesliga striker. So how did he do, well he started off slow and was completely outshone by his strike partner Butragueno. I realised what was wrong, I originally put an engine on Håland to fix his agility and balance issues, but they're still just as bad so you effectively make the chem style boost ineffective, so I switched to a catalyst to boost his pace and passing and it made a world of difference. I have played 50 games with Erling now, admittedly some off of the bench, and he now has a record of 32 assists and 53 goals. He's a full blown goal machine with strength that no defender can match and a finishing ability that makes his 3* WF feel like a 4* WF. The one problem however, and it's a big one, is still the dribbling but if you use him in the right way doing quick pass and go's with him then he'll be sublime, just don't spam the sprint button with this card. Would I recommend him? Yes. Would I suggest you pay 370k for him? No. Bundesliga guys will love this card and is worth doing if you have SBC fodder, otherwise give it a miss.
Pace once he's got in behind
Finishing
Weak Foot is sublime
Passing is actually decent with the catalyst
Struggles with crosses if he ends up outwide
Clunky, just will not suit some of your styles of play
Linkability
Skill Moves for some will be an issue
Premetto che sono un Elite 3 Player e gioco in Rivals Div 1 (2200 punti) e ho sbloccato questa carta solo per pura curiosità e ne sono rimasto sorpreso! E' una delle carte più strane che io abbia mai provato e vi spiego subito il perchè, partiamo dal fatto che è una bestia di 1.94 ed è un 3/3 quindi una carta assolutamente lontana dal meta del gioco ma qui c'è la prima buona notizia, ha il body type personalizzato e questo lo rende completamente differente da tutti gli altri giocatori alti e goffi. Ma andiamo con ordine e partiamo da i PRO, ha 3 di weak foot che in game si traduce in 4/5 di weak foot perchè con le stats di tiro che ha segna tranquillamente anche col destro, sia di potenza, di pallonetto che col finesse, all'inizio non riuscivo a fidarmi del destro perchè mentalmente non si è portati a trustare il piede debole di un 3 weak foot ma quando ho iniziato a trustare il destro (anche perchè a 2000+ punti rivals e in WL coprono sempre il sinistro e quindi è difficile arrivare al tiro col piede forte) è cambiato tutto, Haaland ha iniziato a seminare il panico (35 partite 57 goal e 14 assist, 30 partite di WL e 5 di Rivals). Passiamo all'agilità, fidatevi che con Motore si gira bene su se stesso e dribbla tranquillamente ed è qui che sono rimasto ancora una volta sorpreso, si gira molto rapidamente e per un giocatore della sua stazza vi assicuro che è follia pura il fatto che si muova e si giri così bene, certo non è Mbappè o Neymar ma mi sembra scontato! Concludiamo con la velocità e il fisico, è velocè? Si, con i doppi passi prende una velocità senza senso e il fatto che abbia 97 di forza e un buon equilibrio (buono per uno della sua stazza) lo rende un carro armato impossibile da fermare, in velocità ha retto di fisico contro Varane RTTF e Van Dijk spostandoli di forza e tutto questo è assurdo!
Adesso passiamo ai CONTRO, sarò molto sincero e vi dirò che il 3 skill è una limitazione grande soprattutto contro Player di WL e Rivals forti perchè è difficile girarsi e calciare, l'unico modo che vi resta è usare il doppio passo e il bridge. Altro punto debole è il fatto che non prenda neanche un pallone di testa, nel gioco aereo è scandaloso ed è inaccettabile questa cosa per una ragazzo alto 1.94, ma fortunatamente se non crossate molto non sentirete molto questa grande mancanza.
Concludiamo con i punti che non sono ne PRO e ne CONTRO, ovvero i passaggi. Passa molto bene il pallone per essere una punta ma non mi sognerei mai di usarlo COC, non lo può fare e non credo che voi vogliate sbloccare Haaland per metterlo dietro la/e punta/e, in ogni caso se la cavicchia anche con i filtranti e fa dei passaggi corti molto buoni quindi su i passaggi state tranquilli, passa bene ma non fa gridare al miracolo.
In conclusione vi dirò che se siete fan del giocatore o vogliate farlo per divertirvi non ve ne pentirete e ve lo assicuro! Può circolare senza problemi se sapete come usarlo ma in ogni caso non è un giocatore per competere, io l'ho usato in una squadra full non scambiabile in attesa de i TOTY. (Se ho fatto errori di scrittura abbiate la pazienza di perdonarmi).
Vi auguro buone feste, a presto con una prossima recensione. Ciao Boys!

Oh My God. This man. Is incredible. Haaland is probably my favorite player irl so this sbc was just too perfect. He had his beanie on his image and i knew this was gonna be an incredible card. I used engine to improve his balance as much as i possibly could. At first i didn't love him but when u start to learn the ways of Erling, he is the most dominant striker you will use. He scores for fun. His dribbling is underated, his 3* weak foot just doesn't matter, and his shooting makes me scream without the s. Finesse shots, power shots, you name it he scores it. What a payer.

When I saw this card I immediately wanted to do him as I love him in real life but the 3*3* combination put me off a bit; as with the Agility and Balance. But how wrong I was. The clunkyness is a bit annoying but if you shoot at goal it will go in. His strength is sublime which really helps with his hold up play but if you don't like the bigger strikers I wouldn't really recommend this but if you are just trying to have fun like me definitely do him. He is quite fast despite the low agility and balance combination. Also don't pass with him, but he isn't that type of player anyway. I used him alongside Cunha Headliners in a 442 and they were both brilliant!
Pace - quite fast
Shooting - everything goes in
Strength - VERY strong. Holds up everything
Composure - Always finishes under pressure
Passing - just don't pass with him
Jumping - He won't score many headers despite his height
Agility + Balance - Use him with a more agile striker and he is perfect
I'm a fan of Haaland in real life, so when this SBC came out I had to do him. Had a lot of SBC fodder in my club so could do him for about 100k. I've used him for this weekend league and at first I was super enthusiastic, mainly because he has the best finishing I've encoutered this FIFA. Absolute beast. He scored me 46 goals in the 30 WL games. Furthermore I noticed his dribblling, passing and pace are all decent. Seems like a perfect striker.
But... after a few matches, I started to get slightly annoyed with his flawes. Although he is strong, he gets put of the ball easily by players like Varane, Gomez and van Dijk (which everyone seems to have now). His strenght is negativaly impacted by his length and lack of balance. Also his lack of acceleration is a problem. Maybe it is my playing style, but after a full weekend league my conclusion is: awesome finisher, mediocre at everything else. As much as I like him in RL, he's just not made for this FIFA and it makes me sad. Hopefully a winter upgrade will reduce his flaws just enough to use him again. Because to conclude with a positive note: he is an absolute perfect finisher!
- awesome left food (and his right is good enough)
- it's Haaland
- does not feel as strong as stats suggest
- mediocre passing, pace, finishing and driblling
Hello, i am probably gonna get a lot of downvotes because i think haaland is not that good. I am a decent player, usually gets gold 2/1. But this weekend i got gold 3 and all the blame goes on this guy. I play very attacking so my defense is being molted by cunts who play 1 depth and pacey attackers and counters. I need to say that he could work for you but for me he was trash, like everything, his shooting was inconsistent he had a game with 7 shots on target and 1 goal. He misses alot of chances like alot alot. He also gets bodied by literelly anyone over 80 strength.
Shooting, He has 13 goals in 14 games i had one disconnect were he scored 2 but it didn't count. He did score a few penalties.
Pace, pace is very inconsistent he gets outpaced by gomez but then makes an insane run
Strength, he has 97 strength but he gets outbodied by joe gomez, varane, van dijk
Heading, misses headers he does win almost all of them.
Pace, also a con inconsistent
Shooting, FUCKING terrible he misses atleast 5 shots on target every game, expected that he'd score anything
Dribbling, to big for dribbles
He is a game changer because he makes you lose and he bottled gold 2 for me
