95 - TOTS
Well here goes, Depay is by far the best striker I have used in this game so far and I will try to explain why. To start off, I used him in a 2 striker formation together with Nani and moments Raul playing as CAM. He played 79 games for me and this was solely in Division 1 or Fut Champions.
This Memphis card has everything, first of all his shooting is insane. His finishing is flawless with both feet, even with the 3 star weak foot, and his finesse shots from further out are always lethal (without any AI blocks). Memphis is also able to pop up in the opponents 16 out of nowhere to get the easy finish. He also feels really quick in game and is able to outrun the A tier defenders like 90 Mbabu, TOTS Varane is the only one that caused him some trouble. The combination of his pace and the 96 strength when using the Hawk chemistry style makes him able to push himself past a defender. Sometimes it seems like he is getting caught but somehow he is always able to win the duel and get through on goal. His dribbling is nothing exceptional for me but he doesn't feel clunky and with the 5 star skills he is hard to get off the ball. Passing wise, there is nothing to complain and I personally really enjoy the 99 free kick accuracy.
The only obvious con of this card is of course the 3 star weak foot but as said before, when finishing off chances I didn't notice it that much. It is even possible to let this stat work in your favour because every (good) opponent will defend his right foot which leaves a lot of space towards his left. With the right pass or skill move this works just fine. To conclude, insane card and easily worth the money. Way better than any other striker I've used this Fifa like TOTS Lukaku/Nani and really easy to link with Aouar for example.
