91 - Headliners SBC

5.0

A must have

By MrBadGuy, 12-01-2021

Hey guys,

I did Mahrez for some reasons: he's 5*4*, RW/RM and has very good stats.

When we look to Premier League we can only see few options when we think about RM/RW player: Salah and Lucas. Some use Raphinha, some use previous versions of Mahrez or even Bale but there is few options to put on your team so this Mahrez is a must have for the ones that isn't very happy with Salah's 4*3* and wants a quality player using fodder (even not using his price is pretty decent).

Mahrez moves smoothly and his dribble stats are amazing. I used him as a CAM (most of my games) but he ran out of stamina too fast and I felt him not so productive as I thought he is as a ST. He moves very well in the pitch and have a decent attacking AI but not as best as many other players for the same value.

His shooting is amazing, lads. Truly amazing. The reason for it is due his Finnesse Shot trait and believe me or not sometimes his 4* WF feels like 5*. I used him as a CAM and ST as I said on this WL and he did the difference: 29 games, 21 goals, 17 assists.

The major con that I found are his physical stats: 63 jumping, 58 strength and 50 aggression. If you don't know how to dribble some major meta defenders like VVD and Varane will put him on their pocket if you use him as a ST.

As long as I use 4-1-2-1-2 (2) formation put him as a winger wasn't an option for me but I bet he'll be very productive on the side of the pitch.

Shooting
4* WF feels like 5* in many situations specially shooting using his finnesse trait
Dribbling stats
Price
Probably will get an update

Physicality
Links (if you don't run a Premier League team or have Kyle Walker, De Bruyne or Aguero)
Sprint speed (92 with a hunter but if he get an upgrade will be much more interesting for meta purposes). Not a big issue but some people may be sad with it.

Formation: 41212-2

Position: CAM

GPG: 0.72

Riyad Mahrez

Better dribbler than Neymar?

So I saw the Mahrez SBC come out for the daily 6pm promo and I knew I had to complete it for my La Liga/PL hybrid. The SBC itself wasn't to expensive so I completed, and although his base stats didn't look to special, this card is insanely good. I used him this weekend during FUT Champs and he was insane. I played him as a central CAM in a 4-2-3-1 behind Joao Felix and he supplied many assists and goals.

Riyad Mahrez

Literally Neymar's long lost brother

When the rttf Atal card came out I decided that I needed to pair him with Mahrez's gold card since I love my skills and saying that this guy is one of the best dribblers I have seen this year yet would be nothing but the truth. As soon as he first touched the ball I knew he was gonna be something special so I'm sure you can understand how excited I was once I started seeing this card in TOTW predictions. I'll admit I was a ...

Mahrez the goat

Riyad Mahrez is an insane player in fifa 21. He's the perfect example of meta. Since this fifa is all about through balls and dribbling, Mahrez sets the perfect example for what to expect from top tier players. Watch the youtube video below to see how well he performs.
