All games played where in fut champs finals, he played right striker in a 41212(2) on stay central and stay forward, full chem with an engine. In the 8 games played, i got 8-0, and he was a big reason for that. 8 games 18 goals and 7 assists for me.
WOW, this guy is crazy. So far in this game I've used Neymar, Mbappe, CR7, baby Cruyff, Messi, Mane, Salah and inform Son.
He has been far and away the best attacker I've used in this game, and with that list that means a lot.
Best finisher I've used in this game, silky dribbling and the 5 star 5 star makes him so unpredictable.
He is very strong and wins so many headers.
Even his passing is pinpoint with the chemstyle, R1 + x passes are like lasers with him (or i think RB + A on xbox).
Lethal first time shots and his finesse shots from outside the box are also very effective (even post patch).
His really good defensive stats for a striker combined with him being 6'1 allows him to get the ball back so easily from defenders, I've scored a few just because of his defending weirdly enough.
Best player I've used thus far, crazy card.

Price
It's been a long time since I've written a player review, but I thought I should write one to help anyone thinking about buying Ginola.
I took the plunge and bought Ginola for 1.4 million after watching his price slowly rise up from the initial release. At the time I thought it was a lot, but it looked like a bargain given how good he is and that his price rose to over 1.7m.
A few points to start. I play in Div 2 and usually get my 8 wins in champs then throw the rest. I've used a lot of strikers this year such as Son, Neymar, Mbappe, CR7, Messi, Baby R9, Mid Eto'O. Ginola may be better than all of them, at least for me. I previously played Ginola at CAM behind CR7 and Mbappe and although he was great, I had heard he was a better striker, so I tried him there (With Hunter as the chemistry style).
The main highlights for me with this card were
- 5*/5*, obviously. I'm not a crazy skiller, but there are a few moves (Sombrero flick, elastico, the new spin move) that I use often and of course, Ginola can do them. It's also very reassuring to know you can smash a shot in with either foot and not have to worry about getting onto his left.
- Pace. With hunter, his pace reads as 99 Acceleration and 99 Sprint speed. I've always been kind of uncertain on whether chem styles really affect pace that much, but Ginola can certainly fly by a pacey center back to catch a through ball.
- Shooting. As mentioned above with the 5* weak foot, his shooting is great on either foot. Power, finesse, volley, scores all types of goals for me.
- Passing. Strikers that can pass are always nice to have, especially with midfielders that can shoot in the team. Ginola can pull off those max power through balls you just hope make it up to the runner pretty easily.
- Heading. I had CR7 and he's probably the best header of the ball I've used, however, Ginola isn't that big of a gap behind him. At 6'1 with 90 jumping, I've scored a fair number of corners and crosses with him.
- Lastly, dribbling. Very agile on the ball. Not like he's Vini Jr or Mbappe, but he can easily get around a defender with some tight dribbling. He seems like one of those players that can just recover the ball off a tackle when he has absolutely no right to do so.
Overall, I think the price tag is completely justified. Being French and strong linking to every Ligue 1 player is of course a huge plus, but the only player in this game I've used that stands out to me more than Ginola is Mid Zidane, and for 1.4m at the time of writing (Will probably be way less after the Hero packs go out in December) I think he's one of the best cards you can buy.

Maybe stamina? I generally sub out my strikers towards the 70th minute to get some pacey players up front in hopes I can steal a goal back, but he can easily play the full 90 if you don't run him back all game.
SO I'm going to keep this short and sweet. During Black Friday I opened one hero pack and got Ginola, I was so happy, after about 70 or so games I will talk about his stats one by one.
His pace is really good, he won't explode off the start but also won't take long to accelerate, he feels extremely fast and his pace feels consistent as hell. After you get used to the way he uses his physical and the way he takes his touches you will love his sprinting. 9.7/10
His shooting is probably his best attribute, he is one of the most clinical players I have used this year and his finesse shots are much better than you would expect, he has the hidden finesse shot trait. No doubt 10/10
His passing is very good, not much else to say, not like Garrincha or de Bruyne but he can do everything. 8/10
His dribbling is somewhat a make or break for some people, I will explain. If I had bought this card, after 5 games I would have sold him because I need super agile, responsive players but since I got him untradeable I continued using him. His dribbling is very particular and this takes getting used to, it by no means is bad or even limiting but it's weird. You will naturally start getting used to it after about 15-20 games (i still am) But regardless his dribbling is spectacular after you get used to it he will turn and get by players like a GOAT. Easy 9/10 (can't give 10 because the only players that are a 10 to me are Mid Puskas, Neymar, Cruyff, Garrincha, Maradona, Messi, and maybe Bernardo Silva) He does not need dribbling chem style, use him with a HUNTER
His physical is what really makes this guy unique, he feels so sturdy, strong and jammy it's incredible, for his position he is easy 10/10. It's so beautiful to have a 5* 5* with such great physical
Quick Summary - So this guy is probably the best card I've used this year, from the big cards I have used, the ones I haven't are R9 (both), Pele (both), Mid Dinho, Mid Cruyff, TOTGS + POTM Cristiano, and baby Cantona. He is so effective and I love him, I never bought this card because his height and dribbling kind of put me off but these things are insignificant in front of big daddy Ginola

I had already used Players like CR7, Mbappe, Cruyff, Jesus Ice and some other high rated meta players but Ginola is another world.
Im a pretty casual player with rank 4-5 in weekend league and i´m not that much of a skiller. Especially 5* skills are not that important for me...
I was not very sure if heis really worth 1,3 million as I bought him because that´s half of my coins I can spend, butas I have played him the first time I knew, that´s what I wanted.
I really cannot call any cons of this card. THe only I can think of is his price and that he is not as fast as Mbappe.
But if you are looking for a physically strong player with the best shooting ingame ( I literally didn´t know he is left-footed until I recognised after 50 games) right here you have what you need.

Hey guys, i'm going to keep this short and simple. This dude fells like CR7 from Fifa 18.
Fast, powerful, great in the air, good dribbling, 5*S 5* WF great passing, can finish from everywhere with either foot and above all; He glitches pass defenders like Mbappe and CR7 does.
He is 6'1 and the trade off is that he won't be as smooth as a neymar, but he compensates in everything else. Don't get me wrong though, he is still very good at left stick dribbling and performing skill moves. But he is not as good as Neymar (which is arguably the best dribbler in the game).
I play in elite division (~1900 rating) and used to get rank 2 in Champs consistently, last 2 weeks i got rank 1 right when i bought Ginola.
I have used Cruyff 89, RB Dembele and neymar (i like to have double 5* upfront) and imo Ginola is better than all of them as striker.

You can't have 3 of him upfront.
Hi guys, so I packed this beast in the Hero Player Pick and was buzzing with delight, I’ve used him in fut champs and elite div rivals and this guy is one of the best ST in the game and also just one of the best cards in the game in general, if I had 1 mil to pick up a card, it’s him or Mbappe.
- Pace (incredibly fast, once he’s past a defender he’s never getting caught up to)
- Passing (Amazing passing, I thought it was only going to be above average but it is absolutely mad)
- Shooting (Very good, one of the best finishers in the game
- Dribbling (Doesn’t feel like Neymar but definitely feels better than cards like Cr7, also should I mention he has dda shield meaning he always gets the ball back pretty much)
- Physical (Incredibly strong, basically no one can body him off the ball)
- Basically none.
I have packed in rare players pack last month and i used him as striker next to mid eusebio. 5 Star skill moves makes the player different in shooting... 5 star skill moves can change the reflex of goalkeepers and I can feel it with this guy! He always sticks the ball to the corner of the goal!
Some people says that 75 balance is a big weakness but I can't feel the 75 balance because he hasn't B.Type!
If get him just put him a hunter and just look what he does...
He is a monster...
Guys u have to try him!
Review HERO Ginola: This guy is absolutely cracked. I played him in the 4-3-3 (4) as a striker and he performed so well. I boosted his pace with Hunter Chem and he outran everyone (also Kimpembe). His dribbling is absolutely insane, you feel the 5* Skills in every movement with him. His shooting is also cracked, he banged every shot in the net. 5* WF are also very nice. Agility is 91, if its borther you play him with Engine. Physicality and passing also are very good. His player model is very nice, hes tall but very agile. The price (1 Mill) is absolutely fair for him, good links, great player, but you shold play him as striker instead of winger. For me hes a 10/10

I packed him in my fut heroes pack, I was so excited about this, the best hero that I could get was on my screen!
Let's go with the review, he is the best striker I've ever tried, he has all the qualities of the perfect striker: Tall, Perfect finesse, shot, dribbling, physical, headers, passes, pace, just all.
I play him in a 4222 as a striker with flashback Benzema, what to say more, Karim became a great assistman, most of the goals are scored by David the big Papi Ginola.
I'm a Div 2 level 1 player, usually I got 8 wins hardly without Ginola, now it's easy to get 10 wins or more.
If you have money, buy him.

After selling Mbappe to try out this amazing looking card, that I've seen and heard all around that he's a beast, I finally get to try him myself. With a hunter, he feels like gold Martial. Skill moves are very slow, his animations are very slow, Mbappe's or Neymar's are way faster. Unreliable dribbler, after getting past a defender like Cozza, he gets pushed off the ball like he's a little kid.
Dribbling:
6/10
Mainly because he has 5 star skill moves and you can't go wrong with that. I'm the type of player that uses very many skills to get past defenders. If Ginola is 6/10, Mbappe would be a strong 9/10.
Shooting:
4/10
I kid you not, this card will miss every single 1 on 1, that even a gold card like Lemar would score. Near post shots go far, far over the crossbar. He had a few matches when he was shooting like he should, but only once per half.
Passing:
8/10
Driven passes and crosses were really on point, but he has had some passes that would simply leave me perplexed.
Pace:
9/10
Even though I played him with a Hunter, in 10 chemestry, his pace felt really weird, like he was lagging when he was running.
Defending:
N/A
Physicality:
7/10
Even though he's tall and strong and all that, he was getting pushed away from the ball even from Neymar Jr, Nkunku, Cozza, Renan Lodi.
So, in my opinion, this card is really overrated. If you want to spend 1 milion coins and feel like you have a 1 milion coins player in your team, get Mbappe, or Eto'o. They will do the job with ease, and they are cheaper.
-Passing? For a 1.2 milion striker that's sad.
-Clunky
-Unreliable
-Shooting with him will give you headaches.
