Benzema is the guy!

By Eowia, 10-11-2020

Hi all,

I was very sceptical before I bought Benzema and used some other La Liga strikers such as Suarez. I have to say that Benzema is the far best striker I used because he scores everything! And I mean really everything! Volleys, headers, finesse, anything in the penalty box = goal. Pace doesn't seem like under 80. He is not Mbappe or the nightmare Adama Traore but he does a solid job. I don't use him in CAM, I have another "slow - non meta player" Modric there. However with his positioning and passing, I create many chances for him and my second striker Inaki Williams (Rulebreakers Version). Dribbling is also great, his agility doesn't feel below 80. Physically he is for me a beast because I can play against most of defenders easily.

Benzema does a solid job, although he is not one of the meta players. I was able to score 288 goals and I admit there are many Squad Battles on Legendary level but also many online! He scored every game at least one goal for me. His pace is not deadly but the combination of his pace, shooting, positioning and physical attributes makes him the far best striker I used - for me as good as Inaki Williams. I also used IF Suarez but he felt really lazy for me although I am a big Suarez fan!

I can suggest to many of you, if you don't have a deadly finisher and use him with a pacer like Williams. You won't regret it.

Now I sold him for his BIN and bought the IF Version, I will keep you updated how that will go :)

Positioning! He is for me everywhere
Physical - He wins most of the goals easily
Headers - I cannot tell you how many corners I scored thanks to him
Shooting! - Shot = Goal in Benzema language
Passing - with his Positioning he is a great passing station

Pace - if you like meta players
If you leave him alone in a formation like 4-3-3, you won't enjoy his traits as I did - needs a second striker!

But this year he is really meta !!! Its really fun to score goals with him. He is Not the fasted stri...

He cant miss

I got this guy in my 84+ player pick. So i wanted ti try him and he is insane. I play him as a cam in a 4-1-2-1-2(2) and he cant miss almost every shot goes in his shot power is insane and his headers are so good. I almost scored every corner it is like cheeting. His shooting is like R9 but he is not that fast but as a cam he is OK and his dribbling is also not the best. His pas...

ANGEL FALLEN FROM HEAVEN

this man is the perfect false 9 or CAM for the specific people, people will be thrown off by his low balance or pace but use him correctly and he'll amaze you, fast pace passing with him being at the centre is how you should build up, he shoudnt be a lone striker as he doesnt have the pace to go round defenders without doing a bridge or directional bridge (however his attacking positioning means hes always making perfect ru...
