Monster in front of goal
By Heskey2yoursuccess, 06-03-2021

I've played around 20/25 games with this card, and it was a rarity when Big Benz didn't have a hand in the outcome of the game. A complete monster when the hunter chem style is added. His 4*WF feels like a 5*, and he is lethal within 25 yards of the goal and especially in the box. The ball just sticks to his feet, he can pass well, he is tall, and pretty strong (6'2", 82 strength/ 81 jumping 96 heading.) What I like most about this card is that

shooting/finishing- again, in the box, every shot is powerful and on target

dribbling- the ball is glued to his foot at all times. Using strafe or agile dribbling isn't too hard, and the meta 4* skill moves (standing fake shot into la croqueta, and spin moves) work great even with his mid tier agility and balance.

passing- Almost never misses a first time pass with either foot

positioning- (98 positioning with hunter.) This allows him to get into the perfect precise space while the team is attacking pretty much at all times. His positional play in the box is outstanding. Perfect every time.

Could be a touch faster (90 acceleration/ 85 sprint speed.)- This isn't too much of a problem because he can beat most center backs over short distances and can get a very good shot off from outside the area, so if you're on the counter attack and in form walker is chasing you, it is easy to change the angle and get a shot off to at least get a corner (if not score.) It also really just depends how you play. It might be a big weakness for you, and for others it's not the end of the world.

Could have slightly better body movement (balance/agility)- This isn't too much of an issue for me but it might be for some people.

Strength/Physicality- I would use him on hawk to boost these stats, but the 87 pace on hunter can't be ignored. It'd be nice if he were a bit stronger with better jumping, but what he has will do for me. It's not really a weakness but rather something I wish was better.

Benzema on fire

First of all sorry for my english.This year EA did a good job on Benzemas card!I packed him as an untradeable and made a team arround him. First my plan was to play with him as my striker, till I make some coins and can buy a faster striker, because benzema was really not the best card in the Last few fifas... But this year he is really meta !!! Its really fun to score goals with him. He is Not the fasted stri...

He cant miss

I got this guy in my 84+ player pick. So i wanted ti try him and he is insane. I play him as a cam in a 4-1-2-1-2(2) and he cant miss almost every shot goes in his shot power is insane and his headers are so good. I almost scored every corner it is like cheeting. His shooting is like R9 but he is not that fast but as a cam he is OK and his dribbling is also not the best. His pas...

ANGEL FALLEN FROM HEAVEN

this man is the perfect false 9 or CAM for the specific people, people will be thrown off by his low balance or pace but use him correctly and he'll amaze you, fast pace passing with him being at the centre is how you should build up, he shoudnt be a lone striker as he doesnt have the pace to go round defenders without doing a bridge or directional bridge (however his attacking positioning means hes always making perfect ru...
