79 - Rare

4.5

The most CRACKED Serie A strker

By AHairyApe, 14-10-2020

Man, I normally don't do reviews on here, but THIS...THIS CARD IS RIDICULOUS!

I saw someone recommend Luis early on during the 10 hr trial period from EA Play and I decided to get him as a cheap starter option.

I never knew that he would literally be the best striker not named Cristiano Ronaldo at the moment in Serie A. He will just not stop scoring for me and has the track record to show it.

Any FUT OG's remember how good he was at udinese paired with Di Natale? Yeah this card reminds me of that: Blistering pace, great dribbling, and a way to score with either foot.

He's chipped keepers, gotten in behind and finished clinically, and so much more. There is literally no reason to pass on this card.

Rebic is very similar, but you have to choose what you want from your striker: better dribbling go Muriel, better passing go Rebic. With that said, Muriel's passing is actually not that bad, he's gotten his fair share of assists.

Let's get into the stats:

Pace 5/5: Enough said, a hunter chem is overkill, but it's worth it. This kind of pace is what you need early FUT cycle.

Shooting: 4.5/5: I don't think I can give a perfect score here, but he's damn close to it. He can finish most chances with ease.

Passing 3/5: It's not AWFUL, but it's not great either. He can easily do well with link up play, but don't expect him to pass like he's pirlo, it'll not work out well.

Dribbling 4.5/5: I can't give a perfect score because his dibbling stats aren't top tier, like what you would get from an insigne type player, but for his build and pace, the dibbling is an added plus. 4* skills comes in handy and can make Center Backs look foolish.

Defending: N/A

Physical: 3.5/5: He's not gonna score headers or use him body to protect the ball, but his pace and dribbling make up for it. He can shield the ball from most players but don't rely on it.

Overall: 4.5/5: Like I said, he's not Ronaldo, but put his instructions on get in behind and behold the masterclass that is Luis Muriel.

VERY pacey

Scores a LOT

Does his job and does it well

Luis Muriel

If you have Serie A squad, get him!

This is my first review, but this card made me do this. My squad was lacking Serie A striker, and when I saw this card come out, I had to buy it. I play Muriel in 4222 with CR7 up top and sometimes it feels that Muriel is the better player. I have played 8 WL games where he has scored 11 goals and assisted 4 against pretty good opponents aswell. Muriel is very similar to base Mertens, so if you have used and liked him, you ...

Luis Muriel

Colombian God

He absolutely blew me away, Muriel is easily a top 5 striker on the game. The fact that he is only 280k is bonkers. He can play in a lone striker formation as well as in a two striker formation. He suprisingly wins loads of headers, even from corners he is a menace. Give him a go, he is a starter and a super sub depending on your team.

Luis Muriel

What a beast

I got lucky enough to get this guy out of a player pick and at first he was just a super sub for me, but after scoring 4 goals off the bench in 2 games I decided to shift the squad around and try him out, and what a card this guy is. He has the pace to rival the flashback Mbabu's at CB, his shooting feels insane with the stats that he has, and with a marksman he has the strength to win ...
