95 - TOTS
He can clear defenses like EA clears your bank accounts 24/7. He can play any through ball you want and he can do any 1-2 that you could ever ask for and with that get into any position to create a play that you want. He's super good at shooting however the 3* wf is obviously a bit of a con - although I didn't find it too obvious, I've taken shots and it feels like more of a 4* (so not perfect but good enough). He is very fast and good at dribbling, and when you add the physicalities to that you can expect anything from him: whether that is an insane run, a mad dribble, a quick turn and play. He is easily worth his price, so if you want a solid target man for a fairly high but not MENTAL price then this is your guy. I fortunately got him out of a gold rare player pick after doing like 60 packs all together (unlucky premiums, 83+s, Player picks etc...) and getting practically nothing - so im sure you can imagine my celebration when i saw this dutch legend appear b4 me, and he definitely lives out to what his stats say. Crazy performance from him in 4 games - 12 goal contributions and generally impacted a lot to my attack force.
9.8/10 as the only thing he really misses is a body type like lean and a better body type.

I packed Depay in a rare megapack and i just had to try him. I play in div 2 and he looked really awesome.
The first time i gave him the ball he felt amazing with it. He was a little weird because of his bodytype but he was super-agile.
He had many chances He scored many and missed some. His movement was weird at balanced, because he dropped down deep so i decided to play him at get in behind.
His shooting with his right foot was incredible. His shot power was so good he scored incredible goals. Long shots, in the box, free- kicks, everything. his shooting was insane. Even his 3 star weak foot was insane while shooting. The fact that he also could body Defenders with his strengh, was fantastic.
His dribbling was also really good, i loved skilling with him.
He also got many assists and overall Depay was incredible.

Well here goes, Depay is by far the best striker I have used in this game so far and I will try to explain why. To start off, I used him in a 2 striker formation together with Nani and moments Raul playing as CAM. He played 79 games for me and this was solely in Division 1 or Fut Champions.
This Memphis card has everything, first of all his shooting is insane. His finishing is flawless with both feet, even with the 3 star weak foot, and his finesse shots from further out are always lethal (without any AI blocks). Memphis is also able to pop up in the opponents 16 out of nowhere to get the easy finish. He also feels really quick in game and is able to outrun the A tier defenders like 90 Mbabu, TOTS Varane is the only one that caused him some trouble. The combination of his pace and the 96 strength when using the Hawk chemistry style makes him able to push himself past a defender. Sometimes it seems like he is getting caught but somehow he is always able to win the duel and get through on goal. His dribbling is nothing exceptional for me but he doesn't feel clunky and with the 5 star skills he is hard to get off the ball. Passing wise, there is nothing to complain and I personally really enjoy the 99 free kick accuracy.
The only obvious con of this card is of course the 3 star weak foot but as said before, when finishing off chances I didn't notice it that much. It is even possible to let this stat work in your favour because every (good) opponent will defend his right foot which leaves a lot of space towards his left. With the right pass or skill move this works just fine. To conclude, insane card and easily worth the money. Way better than any other striker I've used this Fifa like TOTS Lukaku/Nani and really easy to link with Aouar for example.
