Surprisingly good (So far)
By haydeng19, 17-01-2021

I saw this Higuain card and immediately wanted to use him alongside Nani, CR7 and Robben in a 4231. He goes in at DT with nani at CAM, CR7 at LAM and Robben at RAM. I can easily say, without a shred of doubt, Higuain is the highlight of this attack. If you go off of his base stats, they exceed expectations, he has the craziest runs to go along with that very respectable pace, and has brilliant ball control when needed. His finishing in and around the box is unrivaled, having used Ronaldo, Salah IF, Rashford IF etc. The best thing about this card is certainly the shooting, but all other aspects deserve appreciation. He also has amazing strength, which is always helpful. Most enjoyable striker i have used this year, for the small price of 75-90k depending on the console. Absolute no brainer if he fits into your squad!

Hidden Greatness
By TheBigNo, 18-01-2021

So, this weekend I decided that I wanted to feel pain. My team was a full MLS team bar the keeper as I'm not totally insane, now to be fair this team held its own and I managed Gold 3. So yes I threw Higuain in at the deep end, a real trial by fire. To my surprise, in 29 games he has 50 goals and 8 assists. The best way to describe Higuain is that he doesn't really stand out as a Mbappe would but he constantly finishes and score at least 2 goals per game. Now, you're all here to ask: "How does he fare against the headache meta of Varane + Gomez + Mendy" and I'm pleased to say quite well, he feels fast but also doesn't in a weird sense, I suppose I get this feeling because he's 6'1. Saying he's 6'1 you'd think he'd be like Haaland and turn like a bus but actually, he's very good at turning past players like a fat Beyblade. I bet you're now wondering about his strength and I'll be honest it ain't great, Varane and Gomez do body him as expected but against wing-backs, he manages to somewhat muscle them off the ball and I should say Higuain actually tackles better than some of the players I've used this year. Now in saying all this you will need a CAM that can pass or thread a good ball and hold it up for Jiggy Higgy to get into position but other than that Higuain's dribbing can put himself in a good position. Obviously FINISHING is a key part to this guy and at the start it was ropes, I thought it was down to the 80 composure but the further into weekend league I got and learnt the team more, I realised it was just me and the guy definitely can finish, that doesn't mean to say he won't throttle it at the keeper sometimes and I'd only finesse it really when I'm in the box in a finesse kind of position, otherwise, it'll miss with only 78 curve. Now Passing, all I have to say it's okay, like any other striker I guess, He could only really be a target man and not a combination of two strikers. (I should point out I went into a 4-2-3-1, both attack and defense balanced, Nothing changed except for defensive players to stay back)

Good if you have the links
By AusFishFc, 17-01-2021

When I did this card I expected to get a slow chunky man who turns like a bus, but he plays like a machine very agile and quick, felt just like using Kenny Dalglish. If you have the fodder/coins and the links then this card is a steal.

King Higgy
By pardoel17, 25-01-2021

Honestly this guy is surprisingly good. I completed him just because i had just done dos santos and wanted to use him in WL so i got this man, and he is class. He finishes most of his chances and he is quite quick and agile.

Don't expect much - WL 16w
By Aimarinho, 18-01-2021

If you are a mid thirties guy like me and wants to remember the old times and have some reminissence and enjoy playing only weekends if your family life allows for that 30 match weekend round, just do it.

If you are a competitive guy whom does NOT play this game like a football simulation and start to juggle the ball at the kick-off, all the way to offence's goal lines by using the bugs OR just a pace-lower boy who likes action games this is not the guy for you. Just use Werner, it will do a lot better (My favorite would be Vardy for pacey teams, more aggression and teamwork)


That pace you see on stats will not be animated in actual game and you will end up screaming that chubby goal machine. You need to bring the ball to him to finish, not to run 30 meters and have enough breathe to score.

Absolute finisher.

Heading master.

Positioning is delicious.

This card is Real Madrid era of Higuain, not Napoli.

Enough speed and reaction time with high sgility and balance

Strength kills balance, you can't hold the ball and pass around while dealing with a defender on your back.

Another player where acceleration is lower than top speed makes it less agile in tight situations.
