87 - Flashback SBC
I wasn’t so sure if to make him or not because to be fair his value isn’t the best. But EA knew that people would make him because he was Ben Arfa, so. So after some hours I decided to get him, as he has a green link with Aouar and fit perfectly in my team plus he is obviously Ben Arfa.
He isn’t that bad as he is probably the only CAM that is better than Mollet from Ligue 1, and he is French = great links. And of something I knew before I saw him is that he had 5* skills so that it would be a really fun card.
I use with him hunter and he felt quite fast, His shooting was decent as he had 89 finishing with hunter with 4* wf and something that makes his shots letal is his shot power. He also made tons of assists because he is one of the best passers I have used, didn’t matter the foot and from where, and he can even take free kicks. His dribbling was absolutely insane and fun, first his beautiful 5* skills, his agilty and balance could be better but they aren’t bad at all, and he actually dribble quite similar to Neymar, I wouldn’t say that at his level, but he wants that far and dribbled really great.
He wasn’t the best heading and he got tired most of the games at the end, but at least he wasn’t weak and his low defending work rate helped so that he didn’t got tired so much
Pace
Shooting + shot power
Insane passing
One of the best dribblers I have used
5* skills of course
4* wf also really great
He is Ben Arfa
Great Links: Some are Ben Yedder, Mbappe, Aouar and perfect link with Koscielny
Stamina
Could have better work rates
He is bald in game, hope they fix it
Price is decent, but not great at all
I packed Neymar untradeble, however I didn't have much links going to him so I completed Ben Arfa. He was absolutely amazing. I used him as a left striker in a 3-5-2 and got Elite 3 ( I play to gold 3 normally). His dribbling inside the box is insane. Broke lots of ankles with his skills, and scored lots of goals. He didn't miss any sitters in important moments and he is just so fun to use.If you have time and coins left you should complete him!
- Dribbling
- Shooting
- 4* weakfoot is as good as a 5*
- Physicals are just above average
- Stamina (he is tired in like the 85th minute)
- 86 rated + if for this card.
So as a PSG fan I decided to make my squad in UT this year around ligue 1 and got super lucky back in October, getting Mbappe from a gold upgrade two player pack. had fodder in the club and Mollet wasn't doing it for me because of my formation at the time (4-2-2-2) so I did him. 5*4* and really good dribbling stats were exactly what I wanted. I also did FB Koscielny so a perfect link there also helped convince me as I knew my chem would be fine. At first he didn't really impress me in terms of contribution to the game. Solid assists but expected for a cam, and being left footed he just didn't do it for me for shooting. However, I plugged him back into my team this WL and with a 3-5-2 I can say he is a banger. He naturally drifts to the right from a cam position which I hated at first but when I discovered how to combine his fake shots when cutting inside and shooting finesse from the edge of the box across goal... Some of the most insane goals I have seen this year, his dribbling makes finding space to shoot so easy and the amount of crossbar-in and post-in goals is brutally unstoppable. I always have to sub him off as his stamina isn't great and I notice it in my production of goals after he comes off (I sub de Bruyne in).
-Shooting (his 37 goals come from mostly the last 10 games he played when I got a hang of his left foot finesse shot)
-Dribbling
-Passing is just fine
-Work rates are good
-Speed (even with a finisher and no pace upgrade he's fast on the counter)
-Stamina (haven't gone a game without subbing him off)
-Defending but he does pressure and steal from CDMs fine
He is insane. He scores sooooooooooooo many goals and assists when i played him in ST and CAM. He pace with a hunter is super, his shooting in amazing even though the stats only say 89 finishing. In this game, as long as ur shot power is crazy as his is, finishing isn't that important. His passing pretty decent for a ST and his dribbling, again, isn't too bad even though his agility is pretty meh for a ST. Also, his physical is surprisingly sufficient other than the stamina which isn't perfect. Finally, 5 star skill moves and 4 star weak foot is astonishingly magnificent.

Cost of SBC is a bit overpriced
Great, fun attacker. he has a very noticeable presence, and with the pace, shooting, and dribbling along with 5 stars 4-star combo and solid passing and physicality, he's a force to be reckoned with in the role of attacking midfielder. When I first saw this card, I knew he was going to fit perfectly into my squad. If you couldn't tell, I'm a Ligue 1 fan, and this brings me back to a few years ago when Ben Arfa had a similar card. Even if the nostalgic value or fun factors aren't your things, Ben Arfa is shockingly brilliant at times. Although I was worried he would have been out shadowed by others as the game cycle progressed, he constantly proves to me that he's one of a kind, a player I'd never miss out on.
Pace, Dribbling, 5 Star Skill Moves, 4 Star Weak Foot, Shooting (Along With Uniqueness And Nostalgic Value If You're Interested In Those Things)
Heading Accuracy, Medium Low Workrates, Stamina (Not Really A Con, But Could Be Better)
