Partial Martial

By Jenmos, 26-12-2021

My first review here on futbin, and I think Martial is the perfect player to write a first review on. He was brought into the club to have some fun in champs qualifying, and to perhaps turn out as my favoured striker after a lot of rotation of forwards. After 10 games he ended up with 8 goals and 4 assists, leading me to a 9-1 record, my best by far throughout this whole Fifa. Yet I still don't know if he was the catalyst for this immense form, he was hust such a difficult player to understand. However, I will try to explain this perplexing card in this review, and trough the process maybe understand him myself.

His attacking positioning is exceptional. Always on the correct side of the defenders, and never offside. His runs were great, however he didn't seem to outpace defenders in the way I had anticipated, so don't expect Vinicius type pace here. But back to the positioning, if you get the ball to him around the box, he is almost always positioned to take a quick shot, which makes him gamechanging in slow games. With the now unpredictable gameplay, a predictably great positioning from him wins you games.

When it comes to shooting, he is impeccable. Get him in the box and fire away - they all go in. Outside the box he seemed like a woodwork magnet, but this resulted in some good rebounds for teammates so it is what it is. Both feet works like a charm, and angles which are usually hard to score from is not a problem from Martial. Even orange timed shots went in with him, truly a finishing master.

Passing was quite simply alright. Consistent but uninspired. Easy passes always hit their target, but don't expect any Xavi-esq through balls.

Physicality was great, bullied lower rated players like Kimpembe and Kounde. Might not seem impressive, but you face these two in about 90 percent of the games you play, so it is a great quality to have.

Considering all this praise, how come I don't rate him 5/5 stars? Well it comes down to the "it" factor. He is not as ever-present as a player like Di Natale, who still has to be my favourite striker this year so far. His ability to pop up once or twice a game to change the momentum is monumental, but personally I prefer the ever-presence of such a player, giving the feeling of lasting control over the game and the possibility of always being a danger. Martial never gave me that feeling, and therefore he does not get top score, which is bummer - it was oh so close.

JUST WOW TONY MARTIAL

Where do I start? I use him ingame as a striker with Benzema flashback and both together are just deadly. Just as an info, I play in the elite division. His movement and positioning are really good and his finishing thanks to the 5* WF is practically unstoppable. Whenever you're in the box with him the opponent is in danger and thanks to his finesse shot trait you can also bang them from outside the box with ease. His H/L w...

Cracked Card

I tried many strikers like Lewa, Correa and Jesus, but Martial is different. The way he moves on the ball is crazy, his dribbling feels amazing, bcz of the unique bodytype and his pace is very good, you can outpace nearly any defender. His shooting is incredible, with the finesseshot trait you can easy score bangers from outside the box. His finishing inside the box is also very good. At the moment he is at 11k an that is w...

Anthony Martial

An amazing beast!

I was in hesitation because of his work rates and all but as soon as i picked him i've got surprised by his thirst for soccer. Was using if mbappe earlier and for a fresh experience i got fut fantasy Martial and let me tell you, this card is phenomenal. Great header, great finisher. From time to time he convinces you that he's the one for you. And keep that in your mind that he'll be upgraded...
