89 - FUT Birthday
5.0
What's in a name?
By rel10, 17-03-2022

Wamangituka! I mean no disrespect to the unfortunate circumstances surrounding that name, but I still catch myself screaming it every time he finds the back of the net. It's a reflex from the days of his silver stars, before the name change. The TOTY was a nice way to bring him back into the squad as FIFA 21 winded down. These cards however fun were limited to the silver lounge or dramatic cameos off the bench. However, this card is leading my club. With his help, I made it to Division 1 for the first time this year. I usually only play up to the 8 games, which makes it hard to progress, but Silas carried my team this week with an almost perfect record.


This is the first card in a while that puts in consistent multi-goal games for me. I rotate a handful of squads with strong attacking options like Flashback Icardi and Neymar with Messi at CAM, or FS Vlahovic and TOTY Martinez with FB Mkhitaryan at CAM. When it came time to get the last handful of wins, I stopped rotating and counted on Silas alongside SIF Lewandowski and FS Wirtz at CAM. Silas finished with 7 goals and 3 assists in those 3 games, and two perfect 10 MOTM performances.


Without a doubt, the game changer was the 5 star weak foot. Everything else is consistent with the beast from Fifa 21. I used the Marksman chemistry style to boost his shot power, strength, and pretty much max out his dribbling. He is my speedster, but I was surprised he took most of his chances in good build up play and beating defenders rather than counters and pure pace. He manages to sneak between defenders like Neymar but with his frame also helps keep defenders off his back. The shot is way more powerful than the stat suggests. Runs are perfectly timed and passing is actually very good which lets him also play as a target man.


I'm not an elite player and I don't have the budget to try any 500k+ cards because my playing time is limited this year. My pack luck has also been garbage. I think if you are running a Bundesliga squad this has to be your main man. We all know the market makes no sense this year, but I can't believe this card is under 40k.

Zlatan FB 2.0

Hello there, after seeing Silas in the 2nd batch of the shapeshifters Promo, I immediately bought him and tested him in 20 FUT Champs games. It took only one half to recognize, that he is the most fun card I used all year. If he is on the ball, you just wanna do sombrero flicks and score 20 yard volleys just like Zlatan in Fifa 19. I literally had no fun playing FIFA in the past couple of weeks but with Silas, the ga...

STUNNING

I found him in an 84+ SBC and I decided to use him as a sub in the beginning... As a sub he scored 5 goal and 3 assist in 8 matches... I'm trying him as a RM or LM in the 4231 and he's insane. He's fast, he scores, 5* weak foot and skills, nobody can't steal the ball from his feet...

Hidden gem

A short review: As a diehard VfB fan, I was very happy when this card was released. Now - 250 games later - I am even happier. He is a monster.I am playing Elite Div when I am motivated to play Rivals. Normally I only play WL and finish it with 11-13 wins. Thats my level of gameplay. And I can tell: Silas is insane.U can easily play him up front, on the wing, and - what I do most lately -...
