Slept on superstar card

By Ratterdude, 06-04-2021

For reference - I finish in elite 3 almost every weekend, 2200 skill rank. I have tried almost all top strikers including icons (Eusebio, Cruyff, Mbabbe TOTY, CR7 TOTY, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho).

Sterling is absolutely fantastic and I rate him above all strikers except neymar and CR7 TOTY. I had so much more fun with this little guy compared to any card with the exception of Neymar. His custom animations are the KEY. Why? His small frame allows him to pull off shots in a fraction of a second - there is no wind-up like other larger strikers such as Cantona, Ronaldo, etc. Even in unavoidable delay he's guaranteed to get the shot off.

His dribbling is virtually identical to Messi/Dybala but he has 5* skills. If you also love left-stick dribbling like myself, you'll love sterling. The broken directional nutmeg is outstanding due to his acceleration, leaves Varane in the dust.

The shooting is incredible - I'll particularly focus on his weak foot. Opponents seem to think his left won't be particularly threatening and give him space on that side. Sterling's 4* genuinely feels like a 5*, as opposed to someone like Mbappe who can really screw up shots on his left. Even better is that Sterling's left shot finesse is fantastic, compared to someone like Rooney who will miss every chance. I don't think about what foot he's using, it's that good.

Finally his positioning and attacking AI is perfect. I play him on get in behind but he still pops up in the center when there is no space at the edge of the box. Constantly roaming around the center. Never drifts wide which I cannot stand compared to strikers like TOTY Lewa who always seems to drift wide.

I play sterling on 7 chem on the right wing, linked with FS Reece James. Worth every penny for both the competitive advantage and fun he brings to the game.

Skill moves
Left-stick dribbling
Incredible finishing
Movement off the ball - attacking AI positioning is fantastic, doesn't drift wide
Size to pull off shots in fractions of a second
Passing is pinpoint and also comes off in fractions of a second

Stamina - in the 75th minute+ you can really feel him start to slow down, and can only use him for short bursts at that point.
Size can occasionally make it so that defenders have an easier time reaching to block his passes

baby t-rex

I had a great start in Fifa 21 - I won my 4 matches in the start of Rivals, I packed tradeable Sterling, Salah, Militao and untradeable Allan OTW. I sold Salah and Militao, did some trading and i was able to build the squad in the link. Sometimes i change it to 4231 with Sterling as left CAM, but generally I play him as a ST, with finisher and get behind the defenders tactics. He's banging go...

crackin plur

when i got this sterling from an 85+ double upgrade i was extremely exited as he was a very expensive card, so i took him into some rivals games (div 3). i player 3 games with him as RAM and he got 4 goals in those games. his dribbling is on the level of players like neymar and ronaldinho (who both start for me) and his shooting is comparable with people like mane and salah. overall hes a cracking plur but honestly i dont t...
