Wow! What a card! A 6'2 CAM with not the best body type, I expected nothing. What I got was a card that was MILES better than I expected! It helps he has 5* skills cause with his body type he can often use his physicals which are insane together with the skills. He's a strong beast that isn't terrible on the card, considering he's 6'2 and has H&A body type. Won't be as fluid as your Mbappe's and Neymar's but for his body type and height he's good on the ball! His shooting is really insane as well, doesn't have the finesse shot trait but I don't think he needs it, neither does he need the 5* WF. Passing was good enough but mostly used him as a striker aside from one game as CAM (but didn't like him as a CAM). Definitely really good as striker since you have a target-man. IMO works pretty well in 2 ST formation.

IMO, if you can work with tall players, he's worth the pickup. I did the SBC with all TOTS fodder I got and I don't regret it a bit! If you like him or are a fan of Man Utd this card is really recommended. Compared to for example CR7, I think this card excels physically but I do think CR7 feels a bit better on the ball.

Strength, aggression and his body type helps him fight for the ball
Stamina that lasts the full 90 minutes + extra if needed
5* skills which combined with his physicals are really beneficial
His shooting is insane, almost all of his shots go in
His aerial ability is pretty insane as well due to his insane jumping and his height, on top of that, has great heading accuracy
Great for holdup play but also great on the dribble if you can work with tall dribblers

His body type and height makes him not fluid on the ball, this isn't a big problem if you can use his physicals to the max though
Maybe his price but I don't really think it's too bad
No finesse shot trait MAYBE but even that doesn't matter much
Not as fast as 96 pace with Engine due to his height and body type

No one like him...

I fell in love with his Mid card earlier this year and after 500 games of dedicated service to the club I finally replaced him with the only card fit for the job - his prime moments. I've tried several other quality CAM's and ST's however my team just didn't seem to click without him. This card is truly one of a kind and for me personally worth every coin spent. In a dribbling heavy meta, a 6'2'' High and ...

The anti-meta King

Background - I'm in Div 1 2200 SR, regularly Elite 3/2 player so that's my perspective in terms of completing his SBC.He's not the meta god. He's a bit clunky, as you can tell from his height, body type and agility/balance stats and even if you put hunter to max his pace, he doesn't have that "I've been shot out of a rocket" speed that an Mbappe or even a TOTS Vazquez feels like in game. At a full sprint i...

KING ERIC!

Since EA annouced Cantona I was stocked and a little bit skeptical about how he was going to feel in game and oh boy he's on another level.Cantona is a top tier icon no matter the version. His baby was one of my favorite cards at the start of the game and I always end up com...
