90 - FUT Birthday SBC

4.5

Best non-icon CAM imo

By footbot, 02-05-2021

After using him last WL which was my first, decided to try a new squad with Neymar, Mbappe and CR7 all together. After my first 7 games with them, decided to go bad to the above team.

I played him at CAM in a 4231 (Narrow) with the stay forward and get into the box instructions as his main job was to contribute in the final third. After a disappointing WL finish at G3 with 3 games to spare, he was the only shinning light in my team's attack with freeze Gnabry who replaced Reus upfront.

The best thing about this card is the attacking runs he makes. He's so smooth and sleek with the ball he makes defenders look stupid. He gets into the box and can shoot with either foot which increases my confidence in front of goal. His assists are such a thing of beauty as he's got a unique passing style which confuses opposition players.

The real weakness on this card is the stamina as I mostly have to take him off at the 60th minute. However, he's already contributed enough by that time he's won MOTM despite not playing the full 90. Strength is also a slight concern but with his touch and go play style, its not really required as his L1 dribbling is great. 24 goals and 19 assists in 22 games from CAM is no joke. Tempted to play him as false 9 but his runs from deep is what makes him great.

Overall great card and glad I completed the SBC. Will try to always fit him into what ever team I create going forward. No player feels like him even Neymar.

The Man, The Myth, The Ozil

So, where to begin with this card. I completed him as soon as he released, as an Arsenal fan, I have always been a big fan of Ozil and for 150k it was a no brainer. If you like detailed reviews, then hold on to your Kante and lets do this.I used this card as a CAM in a 41214 formation with Podolski (obviously) and Freeze Gnabry leading my attack with a Hawk Chem Style. He is very much a player who plays as...

Ozillll

AMAZING. Thats it, played him CAM and he was the playmaker I expected him to be, makes lots of great runs for a MED/LOW and has insane finishing ability, 10/10 WOULD recommend if you can put him into your team.
