KING GIROUD

By ww7777, 20-03-2021

Alright, so I''l start off by saying I'm a huge Giroud fan, I am completely in love with his beard, his clinical finishing, his beautiful goals and all, he's basically a perfect player IRL. I'm also the same height as he is (193 cm), so it's another fact I love about him. I have tried his IF before, which obviously isn't very usable, but I wanted to have fun with using the players I like and not meta (as we all should!). He was clunky af and slow. When i saw EA dropped a usable Giroud, I immediately dropped everything and started sweating the managerial masterpiece to get him. BOY IS HE AMAZING.

His positioning is amazing, I played him in a 4-3-3 with Mbappe and Neymar on the wings and also SIF Pogba and Headliners Mahrez to support from the midfield, and he had no problem in the linking play, his target man abilities were very strong. His strength is very noticeable and he pushes off defenders with ease (it's also great when he's running for goal, he can bully almost everyone!)

His finishing is SUBLIME. He bangs goals from everywhere (and I'm a div1 player, so I know how hard it is to score sometimes with 5ATB rats etc. His long shots are perfect and guys, the best thing is his SHOT POWER. The net is actually broken after his shot. Absolutely stunning.

Dribbling is fine as well, he's not very clunky, but don't expect Neymar agility etc, he's just alright to create some space and pass forward or backwards to push the play on.

Pace is really fine, you can put him on get in behind and spam balls and he should be able to push defenders off and get to the ball. But playing him on target man is probably what you want the most.

Overall, this card is a must do for every Giroud fan and not only. He's extremely good, a poacher at his finest. An extremely strong, goal scoring machine.

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...

Absolutely Phenomonal

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...
