86 - Flashback SBC
4.5
The best 86 Rated Striker
By colesak, 29-11-2021

Overall (Short Read): A Great OP, budget, rockstar Striker. For being November this is a great start to the year. Several lineups will likely have this card. For the price it's an incredible card. And it has most of the best links in the game. La Liga and French, plus you can be crafty with the position modifiers to make him fit in a variety of lineups. Find a way to complete the SBC while there is still time! As a quick comparison he is eerily similar to the 99 Ronaldo (Man U) Premium SBC at the end of last year. Obviously not THAT good but he is a great Striker to get you through to Team of the Season for now.


I just completed Benzema last night and he is amazing! What can I say that has not already been said!?!?! If you run a La Liga squad he is a must do SBC. Even for other who have hybrids:the french links work great with several Meta and non-meta players. He Green links to Vini. I mean the list goes on. I had always liked Benzema is previous versions of foot but it's nice to have the extra pace in this version. A lot of people go right to the work rates. I'll relate him to 99 Ronaldo (Man U) in Fifa 21. Obviously he is not quite at that level. However, Benzema is an excellent option for November and far into many months.


Great Pace. I have him on Hunter for now only because I did not have a hawk chem style to put on him first. But with a hunter he is crazy fast and his finishing is great! I might try hawk later for the added extra boost to long shots and the physical boost. His body type doesn't feel to bad either for someone his size and he has great dribbling stats for this early on in the game. So for all you skillers I'd say he is worth a go even though he has 4* / 4WF. Me personally I do NOT use skills so 4/4 is just fine for me. I use him as ST in several different formations. Be it 4-3-3(4), 4-2-2-2 or even 4-1-2-1-2. I was tempted to use him as CAM but his finishing is just to good to not put up front right in the box where he should be. Passing is clearly a weak point and maybe could point people away from the card but as a ST he's fine with 77 passing. I had no issue with it at all. I mean if you want the extra passing boost pick a different chem style where passing is the focal point. The high/low works rates are fantastic. I never had an issue with M/M before but there is just something about H/L that works extremely well for strikers. I absolutely despise strikers with H/H. I just can't get that work rate to work with my formations. As such if H/L doesn't work for you just adjust he in game tactics and you can fine tune any player to work in your advantage.

Clinical Shooting

Great Pace

Dribbling is great for his body type (I mean Gold Ronaldo has 88 Dribbling, Benzema 90) the body type does have an affect here. But for non-skillers you won't notice it.

Higher Defense than POTM card

Similar Physical to POTM card (MORE STAMINA!)

Work Rates adjusted to more the more OP High/Low

Passing maybe, but c'mon let's be serious here the guy is a striker. How much passing you really gonna need to do?

The Goat

Unreal sbc, hes an actual joke. Dribbling feels amazing even in bad gameplay, shooting is cracked and weakfoot feels like 5*. I have a hunter on him and his pace is a joke and so fun on him. Plus hes so strong, can body van dijk at times.
