FIFA 22 Player Review

4.0

I wanted to feel differently :/

He just wasn't it - can't explain it but I saved up some coins and bought him in for base gold ronaldo in a 4231 and 442 next to WW Zaha and I just couldn't make him work. Had a hunter on him for max pace but he couldn't break away from defenders (even with his strength) and I am someone who loves a little skill run and I couldn't make it happen with King Eric either. This being said his shooting on that strong foot is mad but the four star weak foot felt 4 star and not a hidden five star like some high shooting players.

Listen its very possible that he just wasn't for my style of play and I wasn't good enough to get value for coins out of him (I'm div 2 - rank 5 fut champs kinda player) but I'm going to take my coins and try mid eusebio next i think.

strong foot is a rocket
french icon links
passing felt nice
not one to be bullied

didn't feel silky (tried him on a bad gameplay weekend sure but that happens a lot so don't want a 2.2m bus when the game is hard to enjoy already)
weak foot meh
didn't break away from defenders for me even with hunter
2.2m can buy you Eusebio mid (almost), mbappe inform, etc. etc.

King Cantona

Incredible striker. Up front is 100% his best position. Tried him at CAM and he does not turn quick enough for that, and with his shooting he has to play as close to the goal as possible. The skills are very silky. In bad gameplay you can 100% feel the body type effect his turning. But overall incredible card and worth the price.

King Eric

First of all, I have to say that I am not a native english speaker, so if I have any mistake, I am sorry for that.I am an elite division player and usually I reach rank 4 in fut champions. I used him in a 4222 with Pele prime.I have to start saying that I packed him in the icon pick that EA gave us for the moments bug, and OMG, in fifa 21 I packed his mid version and I loved it, he became a lengend in my club, and this year I...

Wouldn't buy him for coins

He's a very big (high and average body type) player. I got him out of an icon SBC and fitted him in my team alongside mid Eusebio (which i had got previously from another icon SBC). He replaced the 2nd striker, where I have used before Gabriel Jesus Ice card and Mbappé. I play with a custom tactic in game, 3-5-2, Chalobah drops to CB, Cancelo and Jorginho as CDM, Neymar as CAM, Paqueta on the left, Hakimi on the right, Eusebi...
