89 - Player Moments SBC
4.0
Best Prem Striker?
By Limbombz, 02-01-2022

After Aubameyang got his SBC card leaked, I knew immediately that I would complete him. However, based on the dislikes to likes ratio on Futbin, I knew instantly that he was very expensive. And yes, you're right, he is indeed a very expensive SBC and potentially even overpriced. Despite all of this, I ended up doing him and boy I don't regret it one bit. Auba managed to score an impressive 3 goals in his first game and get an assist. I used him as a marksman to increase his strength and jumping. I wanted to try out an engine after but he surprisingly feels very smooth on the ball. He, fortunately, has a custom body type that allows him to feel better than the 86 agility and 81 balance that the card suggested. As he is a tall player, it's kind of disappointing that he only has 82 jumping and 79 heading accuracy, I really like using tall players as they naturally win headers more. The marksman chem style helps him, in this case, a lot because he managed to score 3 headers in the little number of games I played. In comparison to a player like Ginola, the dribbling difference is really night and day. I use them both and it honestly baffles me how good Auba feels on the ball despite his "low" agility and balance. His medium/low work rates were worrying, I won't lie, but in a 2 striker formation, he made amazing runs, unlike Messi he didn't "disappear" or wander away in-game. Considering the limited amount of prem strikers, I think he is the best option. Cristiano feels a bit too heavy for my liking while Werner UCL is just way too expensive. The reason why he stands out in particular to me is because of his traits - finesse shot and outside foot shot trait. These are arguably the two best traits for an attacker in the game. To conclude, although this card has limited links and is very expensive, I wouldn't consider him overpriced because he lasts a whole month (toty will probably provide many upgrade packs) and because he is simply a beast in-game. Personally, I will use him for a long time and although I will only give him a 4* overall rating, that's because I think he is simply not viable for most players. Yes, he is cracked and crazy in-game, but not everyone has 450k to spend on an untradeable player which is why I can't give it anything higher although he probably deserves higher.

- Pace (no need to upgrade)

- Prem links (probably contributes to 50% of his price

- Traits (has IMO the best two best traits in game - finesse shot + outside foot shot trait)

- Height (with a marksman, he wins many aerial duels and scores headers frequently despite low heading accuracy and jumping)

- 4*4* combo

- Custom body type (allows him to feel better than he probably should. He also has tattoos in-game and custom animations which are a huge + for people like me who like these tiny details)

- Set piece specialist (he has 90 fk accuracy!)

- A whole month to complete him



n




- Price

- Nation links (unless you have a full prem team, you will more than likely need icons and potentially 1 or 2 arsenal players to link him, I used Cantona and Saka in this case)

- Agility and balance (I thought they were 100% manageable and he did not feel clunky in-game, but I know that many people want players to feel like Neymar in-game)

- Heading accuracy + jumping (Like I said, with a marksman he will win most of his duels but he doesn't always finish them because of his heading accuracy)

- Strength (his body type feels like the lean body type and he will lose some duels against strong CBs.

Aubameyang

Hello everyone, I am a division 3 player, currently in division 4. Last season, I was in division 2, and im now grinding my way up in division 2 again, with Aubameyang as an essential part of my team. He is playing left striker on stay forward next to Nicholas Pépé who is on false 9 in a 4-2-2-2 system. Auba is on marksman and he is just way too good.I have not that much money, and so I decided to sell m...

A must buy starter striker

As someone who is doing a first owner RTG this Fifa, I was overjoyed at packing Auba in a 7.5k pack!! I'd packed Lukaku earlier, but found him to be too clunky, so sold him and opened more packs. Auba has proven to be worth the gamble. I used him as a central ST in a 4-2-3-1 (in game). I know many people have suggested putting an engine chem style on him. However, I feel at this stage of the game the f...

Aubameyang.

When Aubameyang was leaked (please stop leaking btw) I said I would complete him no matter how overpriced he may be. He is 450k which I thought was a disgrace looking at the stats but nevertheless I completed him. I put an artist on him surprisingly as I like my players passing to be very good and his dribbling is underwhelming. I replaced him with Ronaldo and in his first game in LS (partnered by HERO Robbie Keane) he got ...
