King Cantona

By Ajli, 11-01-2022

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.

King Cantona

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 ...

KING ERIC RETURNS

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 ...
