Cantona is hands down the best ST I have used in this game, his size, pace and finishing ability make him unplayable.
Using him in a 4321 as the main focal point of the attack he just scored goal after goal after goal, shrugging of defenders and winning areal duels against the likes of Van Dijk and Koulibaly.
I was originally sceptical about using Cantona with him only having 85 pace however he feels 10x faster than this and is only ever caught up by the likes of Davies Walker and Hakimi.
Cantona is the best striker in the game I've used players like 92 pushes and they do not even compete against him he is not clunky doesn't miss the target
Packed Cantona from Div Rivals rewards tradeable, and honestly he is very good at ST, CAM, or CM for me in Elite Division and Fut Champions. Seeing the low reviews just makes me think about the poor Cantonas that are in the hands of Division 8 players that don't know how to pass and just spam through balls, because that is not going to work with him.
Let me make this quick. He is ok as part of a striking duo in a 442/4222 as long as the other striker is quick and agile such as Mbappe. Cantona is not the quickest but he is quick enough with a hunter, and his dribbling in terms of agility is passable at a high level to make it work due to his 5 star skllls and weak foot that shoots just as good as his stronger foot. He is very good for me as a CM in a 41212 narrow, where his strength shines through.
Going further into how he shines in my 41212. I have both of my CMs on get forward so they basically act as CAMs, and defensively I do just fine in elite and fut champs. As as CM, he is able to win every header, while also becoming a huge threat going forward due to his stellar shooting and great passing thus causing an overload and easy goals when he arrives in to the box late. He really reminds me of the days of playing TOTS Diego Costa at CM in Fifa 15 that was so op. Defensively, you just need to jockey with him, and he will get some interceptions as long as you are a good defender. For me, he is a much better WW Milinkovic-Savic, and averages around 2 goal contributions per game.
Price-wise, I think he is fairly priced for a french icon that is pretty unique in terms of his stats, but better value for coins might be found with non-icons.

Agility is not top tier, but as a CM it is pretty good.
Played him as a Striker in a 41212(2) next to Mkhitaryan for 15 Games. He is really good for the price IMO (bought for 450k). He actually feels pretty quick ig and his physical is amazing it's like the ball just sticks to his feet. He is bodying top-tier defenders (denayer,varane, and toty dias) and just flying through them like it's nothing. His shooting is phenomenal, just shoot with him inside the box and almost every goal is going in. His Finess Shots are also really good.His only letdown would be his dribbling in some cases, he sometimes feels a bit clunky but his 5* Skills compensates for his Agility. If you're looking for a physical type striker Cantona is perfect.
King Eric is one hell of a player. I really wish I got his prime like last year, but his mid will have to do for now. He is surprisingly quick (bare in mind I play < 20 ping) but not mbappe fast and VERY strong. I normally use him at CAM due to this strength and 5* skills. His 4* WF is definitely a 4.5 as such where it's better then FB neymars but worse then FB Griezmanns (who feels like a 5* wf) and his passing is crazy. His high reactions and composure allow him to be very consistent despite the wildly inconsistenty gameplay and I would NOT be mad getting him out of an icon pack at all. However, I take this into consideration, I feel for 600k it is a good price for this card, considering he has no glaring weaknesses at all and can do just about everything. I would say to play him at CAM over ST due to his 85 pace, but for most of you looking at him it's just fine.
Good enough pace (maybe not for ST if you play counterball, but if you play counterball you shouldn't be looking at cantona in the first place, just go buy mbappe)

When the game gets stiff and slow (EA with meme tier servers) unfortunately Eric will feel like he's just had a mcdonalds breakfast, lunch and dinner. High/Average doesn't help with this. Even though it is a single con, it is a MASSIVE one and if you're far away from a server or your internet isn't amazing I would just pass on this card entirely.
For the same price as him, you can buy gold mbappe AND gold messi. This is why his value for money is just 3* despite everything i've said.
Wasted coins on this player from tax. His shooting is all that stands out for me when i played him, that's about where the positives to this player end apart from his heading. Low agility/balance and mediocre pace make Cantona feel like a 10 tonne truck. Clunky to run and dribble with and often loses ball on first touch. Feels like Kane if he was an icon.
Let me first start by saying that I packed this man in the mid icon pack and was extremely happy. A 1.2 mil player with sick stats that could fit my team immediately.
I usually play 4-1-2-1-2 and was struggeling with the CAM position, with Messi being very inconsistent. So with packing Cantona, I diceded to flip my team around so I could put him in Cam.
Well, he felt awful. Whether I gave him Hunter, Eninge or Catalyst, he just dribbles like Harry Kane and runs like 90 Süle. For someone with 90 shooting he also misses so many chances. His shots take seconds to actually perform and then he just misses.
With his passing and physicality being quite decent, I decided to use him as a CM but also for this position he is just too sluggish, and I ended up swapping him out for someone like Chong every game.
This is how is stats actually felt:
Pace: 66
Shooting: 80
Passing: 89
Dribbling: 70
Defending: 50
Physicality: 99
There are must better cheaper options for CAM, like Hagi, Messi, Dybala etc.
Well here it goes where to start. I got this man in a base or mid icon pack. I was Ecstatic in disbelief even my luck had never been so good in fifa. Of course I immediately check his price and reviews and got even more excited to use him.
BUT OHHH BOY i'm using him with a Hunter Chem style. He feels so slow, clunky making Pogba feel like M'bappe. yes he has a cannon of a right foot but has the accuracy of a blind old woman. he has a long shot trait which is just a lie he cant score long shots for the life of him. THE only and i mean THE only time he shines is in long range free kicks. I have him supported by Nkunku POTM 85 hagi and Aouar Winter Wildcard. THEY ALL SCORE MORE THAN HE DOES. its so frustrating. Hagi Genuinely is 10000x better than Cantona scoring more consistently from outside the box saving games when cantona sits around like a dope doing nothing but getting pushed off the ball.
I have played now 65 games with him and admittedly he has 53 goals and 18 assists which on paper is not bad. But in comparison to my Hagis 62 games and 59 goals with 25 assists you can see where that 5 extra rating goes amis.
If you are rich and want to have a go you may have a better experience maybe he just doesn't fit my play style but admittedly Winter Wildcard Pandev is consistently better than Cantona, i only really use him as he's untradable and i have no other option than to tell myself he's good when he really really is not, I find myself shouting "WHY HAVE YOU DONE THAT CANTONA" or "HOQ HAVE YOU NOT SCORED THAT CANTONA" more than a mother shouts at their three year old child for writing on a wall.
His dribbling is like watching bambi on ice, i'm not a sprint spammer i take my time to dribble into my opponents half, but this guy walks around like hes running after the ball rather than controlling the thing
ANOTHER VERY FRUSTRATING THING he has 90 physicality yet he is pushed off the ball more than anyone on my team, his touches make mertesacker look like Ranoldinho and his overall feel IS NOT WORTH 1.3 mill. If you are going to spend those coins spend them on ice or fire Gabriel Jesus and 85 Hagi behind.
Mid icon Cantona this is for you, My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
Free kicks
Sometimes can score a wonder goal if you know how to do the timed shot.
