Player Review
94 - Ligue 1 POTM SBC
Before talking about the player, lets talk about the SBC. Around 2 million coins is a quite steep price for an SBC, especially when his 93 rated inform is 1,7 million coins and tradeable. But as far as I see it, you have 30 days to complete him, which means you can cut off a big portion of the card's price without spending a penny. So how is he? I played him in a 41212(2) with Neymar at CAM and mid Eusebio as his strike partner. I have used almost every top tier meta card this FIFA: Headliners Mbappe, TOTY Ronaldo, Mid R9, TOTY Messi, Prime Cruyff, Mid Pele etc. Out of all the cards I can confirm that Headliners Mbappe is the best card and my favorite card this year. I can now confirm that the POTM is no different, he feels like the exact same card but MUCH cheaper. The sheer pace, animations, silky skill moves and game-changing ability make him so much better than any other card in the game. He feels similar to Kante in terms of influence on the pitch; it feels like he is EVERYWHERE. Anytime Mbappe gets the ball both you and your opponent knows that something inevitable is going to happen. Out of the 11 games 10 of them were in FUT champs qualifications. I went 10-0 and every game except one was a before half-time ragequit. The goalscoring and assisting statistics would be even better if I were able to play out all 11 games.
So, would I recommend him?
YES, If you have a good amount of fodder just complete him, even if you have the untradeable gold I would still recommend completing him. He is just such a game-changer compared to any other card I've used it honestly should be illegal.
- Pace: By far the fastest player in the game due to his body type and animations.
- Shooting: His shooting animations are on par with Cruyff/R9.
- Dribbling: Once again, his body type and animations make him a complete glitch, pair that with his 99 pace and high strength and you have yourself a card that can't lose the ball.
- Skill moves: He has the quickest 5* skills in the entire game, only R9, Winter Wildcards Neymar and Ronaldinho are comparable.
- Weak foot: His weak foot inside the box does feel like a 5* week foot
- Game changer: He will change the game by simply existing, simply having any version of Mbappe gives your entire team a boost. Not to mention the sheer amount of goals he will score and chances he will create
- Physicality: His stamina is superb, you can hold R2 for a full 120 minute match with him, his strength is also absolutely insane mainly due to the body type paired with quite high strength for a striker.
- Passing: I was surprised by his passing, he wasn't Messi or KDB in terms of passing but he was way better than I had expected. He was able to easily give through balls with both feet to any player making runs.
- First touch: This is arguably his most unique attribute, give him any ball to control and he controls it perfectly no matter the position. This is also a reason why through balls are so effective with him, he is able to take a perfectly weighted touch on through balls which causes defenders to NEVER be able to catch up to him.
- Defending: due to his pace and stamina I was able to get a couple of interceptions, nothing special but much better than most attackers I've used.
- He is untradeable
- You won't want to stop playing Fifa
- Price depending on how much coins you have
- Weak foot outside of the box is quite poor for a card of this calibre but thats me nitpicking
