WOW I don't even know where to begin with this card! I have had some pretty good pack luck very early in this year's FUT so I've chopped and changed my teams a lot and tried many different players for every position, the likes of Eusebio, Cruyff, Maradona, Pele etc and I have to say that Puskas is an absolute steal! I had a lot of reservations with this card due to the 3* WF but I was convinced into giving this card a try and I honestly have to say that I genuinely believe the 3* WF is some form of visual glitch because he scores rockets with both feet even from outside the box! His dribbling feels so damn insane especially left stick dribbling and agile dribbling in the opposition's box, paired with his stocky body type and immense strength. One thing I have noticed in this year's FUT is how your short agile attackers such as Neymar, George Best, Messi etc get bullied off the ball very easily by defenders like Koulibaly, Kimpembe, Varane, rule breaker Klostermann, Marquinhos etc. However, I have not had a single striker this year apart from Puskas and Cantona who genuinely shrug those meta CBs off, understandably with Cantona that's just a given. I paired up Puskas with SS Ben Yedder as you'll see from my squad link, with the instruction on Puskas to play as a false 9 to drop a bit deep and link up play with Zidane and Best, an aspect that surprised me quite a lot was his creative ability as there were many instances where he would drop to almost CAM and find Ginola or Ben Yedder with a beautiful pass. I did find that using him this way can cause you to use more of his stamina so he may get a little tired around 75-80 minute mark, but if you play him as a get in behind stay forward striker then stamina is no issue at all. His versatility is amazing, I have tried him at LAM due to his insane outside foot shot across goal (literally goes in with every green timed shot), I have used him as a left striker aswell and again his outside foot shot just speaks volumes, I have tried him at right striker to test the finesse shots but unfortunately with how bad finesse shots have been nerfed now they don't seem as effective but still pretty good considering the current patch. I have been a consistent elite division player all year so far and consistent rank 1/2 in champs (not that champs is as challenging as division rivals this year). Anyway to conclude, I would absolutely recommend you all to buy this card, you will not be let down whatsoever, at the time of writing my stats with Puskas are 24 games, 39 goals 14 assists, all in elite division/champs which is insane! My personal recommendation would be if you play a 2 ST formation then play him as a get in behind stay forward ST and play him in behind with through balls 9/10 times he will win the physical duels against the CBs. GO AND TRY THIS CARD YOU WILL NOT BE LET DOWN!
