88 - Rare
4.5
baby t-rex
By Davidtheguy, 15-10-2020

I had a great start in Fifa 21 - I won my 4 matches in the start of Rivals, I packed tradeable Sterling, Salah, Militao and untradeable Allan OTW. I sold Salah and Militao, did some trading and i was able to build the squad in the link. Sometimes i change it to 4231 with Sterling as left CAM, but generally I play him as a ST, with finisher and get behind the defenders tactics. He's banging goals left and right, super quick, amazing dribbling and for 120 k on xbox it's a great deal. Currently my skill rating in rivals is around 1600 (division 3).

49 games, 81 goals - only in rivals


Pace: He's very very quick. 96 acceleration and 90 sprint speed is enough with his body type and dribbling. I played against defenders like Gomez, Varane, Militao and a lot of times if you can time your through ball right, he will be 1 on 1 with goalkeeper with plenty of time. And when you do a litttle body faint or something like that, some simple tricks he wont slow down. You can run full speed, do a roullette or some other shit and he will be on top speed in no time. So the defenders wont catch him like if you would do the same thing with someone slower. Also he has a cool animation when running and dribbling (t-rex)


Shooting: With finisher positiong is 97, finishing is 99 and shot power is 88 and it is true. You can finesse it, you can bang it in top corner. No worries, it's probably going in. And a lot of times he can position himself to make a great run, he's moving a lot on his own but in a good way. With get in behind he's banging goals 1 on 1 a lot.


Passing: Before laying him at ST with finisher I used him mostly as a left CAM with deadeye and his passing was good, not great but good. But he's not good at crossing the ball. But then again my playstyle is a quick buid up, a lot of passes in the center and attacking straight on mostly. But short passes were good.


Dribbling and Phisycal: Alongside with pace probably the best thing about him, Because even if he would have bad shooting, with that pace and dribbling you can find a lot of empty spaces. The new close control dribbling, or whataver the name, is super effective. The ball is glued to his feet. With finisher it's 99 agility, 99 balance, 99 dribbling. The only bad thing is his strenght. BUT don't worry because a lot of times but he is tackled thanks to his ball control and balanced he stays up and he won't get pushed of the ball. His maybe running slower when his being pulled by defender but his running. And he can play 90 minutes but probably needs a change in OT


Defending: don't know


Super quick, amazing dribbling, hard to pushed of the ball, goal machine

Honestly just strenght and he could be a little bit taller but that's it for me

crackin plur

when i got this sterling from an 85+ double upgrade i was extremely exited as he was a very expensive card, so i took him into some rivals games (div 3). i player 3 games with him as RAM and he got 4 goals in those games. his dribbling is on the level of players like neymar and ronaldinho (who both start for me) and his shooting is comparable with people like mane and salah. overall hes a cracking plur but honestly i dont t...

Slept on superstar card

For reference - I finish in elite 3 almost every weekend, 2200 skill rank. I have tried almost all top strikers including icons (Eusebio, Cruyff, Mbabbe TOTY, CR7 TOTY, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho). Sterling is absolutely fantastic and I rate him above all strikers except neymar and CR7 TOTY. I had so much more fun with this little guy compared to any card with the exception of Neymar. His custom animations are th...
