92 - FUT Freeze
4.5
1.7 Mil?
By MarcusCashford, 05-01-2021

I recently built up a nice amount of coin and decided to send a large amount of a good player. After looking over my options, I decided to send 1.7 mil on this Mane. I had high hopes for this card as after I slapped a hawk on him, he had 99 Shot power, 99 finishing, 98 pace, and 96 agility. I started him off in a 4-5-1 just to get full chem, but shifted to a 4-4-2 to start the game as him up top next to moments memfish depay. After using for him 12 games; 8 rivals and 4 squad battles, I found out that this card was super fun to play with. He broke on some runs faster than a Mbappe and a TOTW Rashford and had the agility of a Neymar on certain skill moves. When he tried to, he would always get behind the defense on his runs and had enough strength to shield off the ball on contested runs. The issue was if he decided to run. I found myself begging him to run and spamming LB (on Xbox) to make him go forward. I even had times where my Freeze Aouar would make runs past him even though he was playing in the midfield. When Saido did decide he wanted to try though, he also did not always finish. His 99 shot power sometimes felt like a rocket, but also sometimes felt like a ground ball to the keeper. He sometimes buried it top corner, but also sometimes yanked it wide right from inside the box. He felt great on the ball and sometimes had glimpses of a game-changer, but other times made me disappointed. He is a fun card to use, but not at a 1.7 mil price tag.

Once he gets the ball, he is electric with it. The dribbling and sheer pace of this card were everything I could have asked for and more. He was very hard to dispossess of in both squad battles and rivals, and his heel-to-heel skill move gave him a speed boost that got past most defenders easily. He never got tired in any of the games I played even when I had him come back on defense and always get in behind. He truly is a sprint god and maybe one of them if not the best player when physically on the ball that I used so far in FIFA 21.

The two cons I have for this card is really his consistency and the price. It seemed that Sadio got behind the defense only when he felt like getting behind the defense. There were numerous occasions where I was screaming at my TV for Sadio to go and he just stood there staring at me. When he did decide to go even if I had to hold down LB to trigger the run, he was gone, but it seemed those times did not happen enough. He was also somewhat inconsistent in his shooting. Some shots were bullets that would not have been saved by any keeper in the games. Other shots were practice balls right next to the keeper or way off the net that made a bronze look like Neuer. With those things being said, I think he is not worth his price. After rising him, I would be more comfortable spending 1 mil to 1.2 mil on this card. It just seemed like there are better and more consistent options at the striking position than this.

Sadomaso Mane

At first i need to say that i am a german and my english is not so good. Mane is the best player in my whole team. I played him as a striker with Hunter and he's so good. The dribbling and shooting is unbelievable. His anticipation is very good too. In my opinion you need 2 types of strikers in fifa 21. A fast one and a big one. Mane's Partner is Kramaric POTM and both cards are a dream. They harmonize perfect...

Unbelievable Card

I normally never write reviews or post squads onto FUTBIN but after using this card, I thought it would be an absolute shame if people didn’t know how good of a card this is. Last year I was fortunate enough to pack Mane’s TOTY card and was majorly disappointed and all I could say was that he felt like a fraud. So when I packed him this year I had my doub...

CHEAP MBAPPE

He is so amazing, if you see the stats he is mbappe but with 4 skill moves, he is so fast and with a great shot, making skills with him is insane and his physical es really good, he has scored a lot of goals from corners
