89 - What If

Thauvinho, better than Aouar ?
By raphaswim, 07-03-2021

A bit about me and my team.

I am currently in div 4 on Rivals (I don't play Fut Champions), so I am not the best player but I still have a good level. I try to play with possession in a 4-2-3-1, with the objective to create an efficient tika-taka. As a Marseille fan, I bought this new Thauvin for 225k to put him instead of Ligue 1 POTM Yazici (which was really good tho). I linked FloTov with Freeze Aouar, Bruno Guimaraes and Romain Perraud. In-game, I play him at RAM, to use his magnificent left foot. I already played 10 games with him, and I will try to make an honest review on him ;)

From a strictly attacking technique perspective, this card is a wonderful option. In smooth gameplay, you are getting a quick, agile, responsive, and clinical option to set loose on your opponents. The card was made for FIFA 21 and fits the meta to a tee. In the CAM role, I have only Aouar Freeze who could challenge Thauvin. Thauvin could suffer from the comparison, but in my opinion, they are both at the same level, and if Marseille makes some good games IRL, Thauvin with this +2 OVR upgrade could look better than the Lyon youngster.


Main Attribute - Shooting

With HUNTER, Thauvin goes to a nice 93 SHOOTING rating. And I feel it! With 95 Finishing, he never misses the post. With 96 Volleys, he scored some bangers that my opponents aren't ready to forget. But his principal pro point is his FINESSE SHOT trait. When you shoot from outside the box with his left foot, the ball finds always the opposite top corner. If you already tested Messi, you know which sort of shot I'm talking about.


Value/Coins & Good vs. Bad 

Value/Coins Rating: 4.5/5

Good vs Bad Rating: 4.5/5


If you compare to Freeze Aouar, which costed two times less, it's hard to say that this Thauvin is more competitive. But I don’t want to get into a habit of comparing a card on the market to SBC cards completed. When completing an SBC it makes sense to do this… but when dealing with a market card there are a lot of variables to consider. The main characteristic of this Thauvin is the possibility to see a +2 upgrade. But I have to advise you: Marseille is not in a good mood right now, they just drafted a new manager after a long series of bad games with Villas-Boas and Nasser Larguet. But I still have hopes on Marseille's ability to score 6 goals with the new manager, Jorge Sampaoli, who advocates an attacking game. For 250k, Thauvin must have his upgrade, or it will be one of the biggest flops of this event. But in every case, you still have one of the best French/Ligue 1 CAM in the game.

Thauvin Goated?
By JazzyIronMan, 23-03-2021

Got him in a what-if guaranteed medium W, so I decided to make a review on him. I played two-weekend leagues with him and got gold 3 and 2. overall great performance bagging in some goals. I played 4231 in-game with him on ram and cam. I felt like he made more of an impact at ram. His finesse shot trait was really good and his left foot was good. Overall I think he was great and will be even better with the upgrade.

Pace- Amazing pace with hunter

Shooting- Great Finesse

Dribbling- Great dribbling with good skills

Finishing- over all finished well and was composed

Body type- wasn't exactly good nor bad

Weakfoot- Misses most of his shots on the right foot

Physicality- Good stamina but not too strong.
