5* skiller (Ben Arfa)

By GlLudovico, 25-02-2021

So as a PSG fan I decided to make my squad in UT this year around ligue 1 and got super lucky back in October, getting Mbappe from a gold upgrade two player pack. had fodder in the club and Mollet wasn't doing it for me because of my formation at the time (4-2-2-2) so I did him. 5*4* and really good dribbling stats were exactly what I wanted. I also did FB Koscielny so a perfect link there also helped convince me as I knew my chem would be fine. At first he didn't really impress me in terms of contribution to the game. Solid assists but expected for a cam, and being left footed he just didn't do it for me for shooting. However, I plugged him back into my team this WL and with a 3-5-2 I can say he is a banger. He naturally drifts to the right from a cam position which I hated at first but when I discovered how to combine his fake shots when cutting inside and shooting finesse from the edge of the box across goal... Some of the most insane goals I have seen this year, his dribbling makes finding space to shoot so easy and the amount of crossbar-in and post-in goals is brutally unstoppable. I always have to sub him off as his stamina isn't great and I notice it in my production of goals after he comes off (I sub de Bruyne in).

-Shooting (his 37 goals come from mostly the last 10 games he played when I got a hang of his left foot finesse shot)

-Dribbling

-Passing is just fine

-Work rates are good

-Speed (even with a finisher and no pace upgrade he's fast on the counter)

-Stamina (haven't gone a game without subbing him off)

-Defending but he does pressure and steal from CDMs fine

NOSTALGIA

I wasn’t so sure if to make him or not because to be fair his value isn’t the best. But EA knew that people would make him because he was Ben Arfa, so. So after some hours I decided to get him, as he has a green link with Aouar and fit perfectly in my team plus he is obviously Ben Arfa.He isn’t that bad as he is probably the only CAM that is better than Mollet from Ligue 1, and he is French = great links. And o...

Absolute beast

I packed Neymar untradeble, however I didn't have much links going to him so I completed Ben Arfa. He was absolutely amazing. I used him as a left striker in a 3-5-2 and got Elite 3 ( I play to gold 3 normally). His dribbling inside the box is insane. Broke lots of ankles with his skills, and scored lots of goals. He didn't miss any sitters in important moments and he is just so fun to use.If you have time and coins left yo...

One of a kind

Great, fun attacker. he has a very noticeable presence, and with the pace, shooting, and dribbling along with 5 stars 4-star combo and solid passing and physicality, he's a force to be reckoned with in the role of attacking midfielder. When I first saw this card, I knew he was going to fit perfectly into my squad. If you couldn't tell, I'm a Ligue 1 fan, and this brings me back to a few years ago when Ben Arfa had a similar...
