What is this card...

By ReshirexOnYT, 23-05-2021

What a card oml. He can hit any shot and play any nice pass to your players. His dribbling is INSANELY good - basically 99 pace with a basic, 99 dribbling with a basic and he has the short and lean- body type (check last fifa), so obviously he is going to be insane on the ball. It feels weird for a 5'7" player to be as good at shooting and as powerful as he is. He isn't the easiest for links but tbh even if he has 8 chemistry (or 7) he will only lose 1 on each of the stats that would get an upgrade (or 2 with 7 chem) so he is going to play the exact same tbh. He isn't the strongest and did get muscled of the ball a couple of times but that didn't really bother me because it was fairly rare that a player got near him anyways and whenever they did he would've been on the other side of the pitch in 0.01 seconds anyway. I got him from an 80+ Serie A player pick and I don't think i'll get a card anywhere near his level for a very long time. Positions wise I'd recommend playing him st because of his agility and the fact he can make use of his extremely good pace, I do also think CAM works but his when playing them there they quite often need more strength - which he doesn't have. About playing him on the wing (or lm/rm/lam/ram) he is extremely, extremely, EXTREMELY good but his shooting doesn't get used as much which is a shame and I tried some crossed/ corners and I would say that they're alright but could do with being a little better (even thought they're already 90 they don't quite feel it) but then again unless you're a pace merchant, you probably won't need to do that many crosses unless its free and open which this guy can do. The finesse shots on him are very good and i would 100% utilise them and even if you have a hard shot from the side I would put it on this man to score a banger.

If you don't already own him I hope you pack him and he can give you the goals and plays he gave me in my video :)

The beast (Dries Mertens)

Before this reveiw I want to let you guys know that this is my first ever futbin reveiw and my english is not the best. Now lets start. He is sooo good.

This card has everything that a starter team needs. The only smal con whit this card is when facing super pacy defenders due...

Dries Mertens

Incredible Finisher. Great on the wing

Mertens is definitely my favorite player I've used so far in the game. I use him on the left wing in a 4-2-4 and his ability to get past anybody with his pace and dribbling is incredible.His finishing is unreal especially his finesse shot from cutting into the box off the left.This is probably an overstatement but the closest card I can compare him to is TOTY Messi but, I've only used th...

Mertens Rulebreaker Review

Alright so after playing Mertens a lot in Champs and Div 3 rivals I can comfortably say he is one of the best players I’ve used in all of FIFA 21. He is so agile on the ball, dribbles like he’s Messi in his prime and shoots like Ronaldo Nazario.
