Vardy party
By gdogsoccer, 08-01-2021

I packed this guy out of a two player pack and I was gassed about it. I needed a new prem striker so he went straight into my team. He's been amazing for me, and changed my whole team. He's basically a complete striker, put an engine on him and he's amazing. Yes, he has 3 start weak foot, but you dont really notice it.

Vardy>R9
By Sma8815, 09-01-2021

So I have now played 115 games with Jamie Vardy after packing in untradeable and firstly; what an amazing striker for this year's fifa where the most important trait is SPEED and finishing alone with the keeper after getting away from defenders. Packed him untradeable and he went straight into my team as a lone striker playing 4231, with a hunter chem. He does much of what he does in real life and that fits the meta perfectly. His AI runs are amazing, I set him to drift wide and get in behind and it becomes a joy to play fifa. Because of his high attacking work rate and positioning he just gets away all the time! Funny thing is after playing him for 50 games I packed baby R9(!) in an icons base swap pack and because, well,... R9!, Vardy had to be move to CAM and CM for while. So, I was so hyped to have R9 in my team but I have to say I was let down. In this year's fifa Vardy just is a better lone striker than R9, even though on paper R9 is faster and better at most things, it's just not true in game! After playing a lot of games with baby R9 as my striker and testing a range of different formations and chem styles with him - because of the lower work rates he just didn't make the same runs and his his finishing was not as clinical as Vardy's. Sooo, I switched back and let Vardy get his lone striker position back and made R9 my CAM and this is just way better. Vardy keeps banging them in, don't finesse finish with him, just get away from defenders, aim for the far corner and BOOM it's a goal, every single time. At this stage of FIFA I have stopped chasing SBC's, I am just enjoying the game and I am happy with my squad now, so Vardy is staying there unless I randomly pack something spectacular. (He has scored 115 goals in 115 games which is quite low, the reason that this is not higher is that I used him as a CM and CAM to make room for R9).















  • His attacking runs (work rate + positioning), better than all other strikers I have tried this year
  • Pace
  • Finishing (don't finesse)
  • Agility and ball control feels great
  • Aggression (he works fell with high pressure and wins the ball back often)
  • Stamina, lasts 90 minutes, non stop runs
  • He is not a skill dribbler, so you should have someone with good passing to feed him through balls
  • Long shots, but that doesn't work this year anyway :P

good but inconsistent
By Icelolley, 02-03-2021

I support Nottingham Forest but even so Vardy is one of the players I look up to IRL through his playing style and his rise to power through the English divisions I had heard comparisons to baby R9 and as he dipped below 200k I decided to try him out. And he is worth well more than 200k.


The two main points i need to talk about and most important stats for the on the shoulder striker i played him as


Pace


He feels extremely quick compared players with he same pace stats as him he feels more like 95 pace than 90. He also outran Gomez, Walker, Varane and co.


Shooting


the finishing on this card is insane and when in behind the defence normally there is only winner. Although I find this card more than many has off days and time when he cannot shoot for his life


this card feels just better than mid lineker but a bit worse than baby r9 who I have used in loans

  • 95 finishing this card is a clinical finisher
  • speedy gonzalez
  • good runs
  • knows where the balls going

clever

  • Heading
  • inconsistent
  • dribbling
