Right - the first thing that needs to be said about this card is that if you're one of those meta players who scrapes off mbappe, neymar, varane, CR7 etc. all year round then this card is not for you and you should keep scrolling. However, if you're looking to try out fun, new cards that are incredible, then this card is perfect for you.

Before using this card, it is important to recognise that it does have its flaws - Haaland isn't the most agile of players due to his body type, he isn't the most versatile of players (he should only be played through the centre, not the wing) and he only has 3-star skill moves. I haven't included the 3-star wf as a flaw because, to be honest, he plays like he has 5-star wf from anywhere inside the box since his shooting is so high - the wf is only noticeable when taking shots from outside the area.

The card's main features

His shooting is incredible and I would regard him as the most lethal finisher I have ever used on any Fifa title. You press shoot from anywhere inside the area and 9 out of 10 times it's going into the back of the net. As for shooting outside of the area, he is still an absolute monster. The lack of finesse shot trait shouldn't be a problem since his finishing and shot power are so high, just make sure you're using his left foot from longer range.

The strength on this card is unrivaled - in one of my first games with him, I played Tots Varane, and let me tell you - Varane didn't stand a chance. when running off the shoulder onto a through ball, he will leave any defender behind. Combine this with his pace and he is an absolute tank. He will either out-pace or out-strength any defender - there is just no other option when using this card.

Whilst his passing may seem low, it has very rarely been an issue for me. Since I am always targeting Haaland with the through ball, he is very rarely the one distributing the pass, meaning you don't have to encounter is long passing very often.

How to get the most out of this card?

I played Haaland alongside Eto'o in a 41212(2) formation. It is important that when playing in a 2-striker formation that the other striker is more versatile than Haaland as this will complement the card very well. Haaland tends to be the striker that I am always looking for with the through ball, whereas Eto'o I tend to shift the ball towards when the through ball is not an option and I have to break a defence down because he is much more agile and has more skill moves in his locker. Saying that, all Haaland needs is a sight on goal and he can first time any ball that comes to him in the box and it will likely go in.

Stay central is essential when playing with this card. When he drifts towards the wings, this card begins to falter and you notice its flaws much more. Saying that - as long as he stays central you rarely notice these flaws.

Final Verdict

This card is definitely not for everyone. As said at the beginning, if you are someone who plays to the meta then stay well clear of this card. However, if you are someone who actually likes to have fun and try out different cards, then this card is perfect for you. For me, I was lucky enough to pack this monster from the 83x5 Bundesliga SBC, meaning he will likely remain in my team for the foreseeable future. For those who aren't so fortunate and need to purchase the card on the market, 700k might seem a bargain to some, but an absolute rip-off to others. If you have the coins to spend and want to have some fun, then I would 100% recommend purchasing this card, but if you are maybe on a tighter budget and looking to play more seriously, then this card probably isn't right for you.

Absolute fucking monster, best card in my team - which was very surprising from what i've heard about him. His power in every way is madddd, he glides through defenses and the only player to ever reach him is ... So yeah his shooting is mad however the wf is annoying as he has missed a few shots that would 100% go in on a 4 or 5* wf player. Although with the power if you are doing a straight on shot i feel that it doesn't make a difference as long as its on target and ur going for side netting. The clips on the video aren't the greatest however i think you can get an idea of his pace and shooting.

WOW. That is all the words I have for Haaland. Was looking for a replacement in my attack, then did the c*rona and amiri objectives and packed out of a 75+ rare one players pack this beast, which was very lucky. I thought that he'd be nice but not playable as he has 3* 3* and I like more versital players instead of the tall strong clunky strikers. I thought well I can at least give him a go and wow. As I said I expected him to be clunky and that he wouldn't feel great on the ball, but believe me HE DOES. 1 directional nutmeg to his left and from where ever on the pitch you shoot it goes right into the net. He is so strong he shields the defender from the ball, it doesn't matter which defender. Decent passing, very very fast and feels great dibbling

I am an absolute noob when it comes to fifa. I'm ok (At least) but I got mega lucky when I opened my 85+ Bundesliga PP. I managed to pull the machine himself Erling Braut Haaland. I also got Añgelino but he wasn't as good (Also I had Flashback Roussilion.) But I traded so much for the SBC and I'm happy. But, how good is he in-game?

Pace & Ability:

Now his stats are 95 pace and 92 dribbling but sometimes it doesn't feel like that. It's probably the 81 balance and 91 agility. But there's another theory why (Check in Physical & Shots.) But as you may have noticed, he has 90 acceleration so he may be better over short distances. Also, he only has 3* 3* which is not good for his 98 shot.

Physical & Shots:

The theory in pace and ability is that, if anyone here has used 87 Carlos Strandberg, you know he is fast and strong. But he doesn't feel that fast. So is he fast but so strong that he feels slow? Anyway, my favourite thing about him is his OG shots. He scores when he gets the ball in the box, 1v1's a nightmare for keepers, just your ideal finisher. His physical is very good, a tank on the ball. His heading is worse than I thought, but it doesn't really matter.

Passing & Links:

Passing, he's Haaland so it is pretty bad but he has 96 short pass and 99 curve which is pretty awesome. His links are a bit underrated, with 91 FUT Birthday Reus as an option and RTTF Brandt and What IF Sancho (Including TOTS Sancho if your an OG player.) Other options are TOTW Guerreiro, TOTW Delaney and FUT Birthday Can.

Overall:

He can be a support ST or a man in the box but I probably wouldn't try to get him in behind too much. But when it works, take the opportunity!

I could not talk about how good he is, but he is way off meta even though his stats show otherwise. He looks very slow and heavy, with no control over the ball, but if you can adapt to his playing style, he becomes a caged beast with hatred.
His shots are sensational, and if you let him kick in front of the goal, he will score.
He seems to have more than 3 star weak foot.
For his price I think there are better options like Cristiano, Mbappé and others.
