Absolutely Phenomonal

By Forbsy11, 20-03-2021

This card is possibly the best striker I have EVER used on any FIFA game. Having played FIFA for well over a decade my previous favourite was Ibrahimovic Flashback. However this Giroud card is unlike any player I have ever used.

Do not allow the somewhat average balance stats to put you off using this card. If he was on the market I truly believe it's at least a 500k card.

This card can be completed alongside the Ruben Neves card, giving you two quality cards.

Shooting is unreal, If you have a shot with him you will score every time. His 99 finishing, shot power and volleys make him the best ST in game. 10/10

Positioning is also great, with 97 attack positioning he gets stuck in and is everywhere I need him to be 10/10

Pace is brilliant, with a hunter this card has 93 pace and 96 acceleration. 9/10

Height being 6" 4 many will avoid this card deeming it 'clunky' before they use him, that's their loss. With 99 heading accuracy and 89 jumping this card is formidable in the air 10/10

Strength 96 Strength, makes him one of the strongest cards in the game, perfect for holding play up allowing wingers to overlap. 10/10

Work rates High/medium work rates are perfect for all strikers.

Stamina with this card having 81 stamina it is somewhat not ideal if you was playing him for a full 90 minutes, possibly look to sub off around the 70 minute mark. 7/10

Dribbling the 80 dribbling with a hunter provides an average statistic in this department, however personally I find it unnoticeable, I can still dribble fine and work an opening 7/10

Passing as normal with most strikers, they can't have it all. His 71 crossing and 70 long pass would deem him fairly useless in a wider role, however his 84 short pass is fine. 8/10

Weak foot having played 20 games with this card I thought he had 4 star weak foot, this is infact three stars, the only particularly off-putting element of this card.

Olivier Giroud review

So I packed this guy in a gold pack from my squad battles rewards, and he fit right into my team, linking with Harry Kane up front. I tried him for a few games and let me tell you he was the best striker for me I've used this year. Earlier this year I packed mid R9 and I used him but he was terrible, so I sold him and made an insane high rated squad. You all should definetely buy this card because he is cheap and pretty hig...

Giroud? 'C'est Magnifique'

Where to start? I was coming into this weekend with a bit of a squad dilemma as I have a first owner Ben Yedder that I was wanting to put into my squad, but I needed a French striker from the Premier League which left me with only one real choice (I know there is Martial but I only had like 30k), that man was Olivier Giroud! It felt quite fitting with him being a bit of a meme for his lack of pace, but I w...
