91 - FUT Birthday
I was lucky enough to pull Fut Birthday Vardy out of my 85x5 Pack
Pace-9/10
Feels very rapid when making runs and on the ball, has more than enough pace to get past most center backs.
Shooting-9/10
His base stat of 97 finishing along with 97 attack positioning makes Vardy such a deadly striker. Very rarely doesn't find the back of the net, and the boosted 5* WF makes his finishing even more OP. I would've given him a 10 in shooting, but his longshots aren't the best. Finesse shots outside the box are better than what his 69 base stat suggests though.
Passing- 7/10
This is where his gold card was a massive massive letdown. His passing on this card is decent though, I was using engine on him so his short pass went up to 80, and Vision and crossing both going up to 85 and 84. He can play through balls well enough, and can also play 1-2 passes well. The 5 Star weak foot helps here as well
Dribbling- 8/10
At first I was worried his agility and balance would be very noticeable, but he can dribble just find. No he's not going to be like Neymar on the ball, but I found he executed most skill moves with ease( Berba spins, heel to heels, croquettas) his 97 reactions and 94 composure helps him retain the ball well in the area and he can create space for himself.
Physical-8/10
His high aggression was very important to his game, he was constantly winning the ball back in key areas for easy goals. His strength isn't the best at 73, but it felt more like 78 or so in game. Stamina lasts the whole game, also jumping felt good. I scored two headers with him, and I never ever score headers.
Overall-9/10
I would definitely recommend this card if you have an Epl/English squad, but I would say wait a bit because he's bound to drop down to around 500-600 k in the next few days.
