Downgrade from FIFA21 but just as good...
By DanMatthewsAV, 28-09-2021

Despite some big exits from Serie A this summer (CR7 and Lukaku), I have always been drawn towards building a Serie A based FUT squad. After opening some relatively decent 'Welcome Back' packs, I found myself with enough to build the squad linked. 5-2-1-2 suits my play style to a tee, and with Mertens at CAM it's a game changer from my 5-3-2 formation on FIFA21.


With lovely dribbling, decent passing and very good finishing (even with goalkeepers being broken so far), Mertens has been a fantastic CAM for this early stage of FIFA. His positioning has allowed him to break the lines and get in to the box late to get some impressive goals, his agility and balance allows him to spin away from his markers quickly and move forwards up the pitch.


Obviously with him, he isn't a physical player but if you want a CAM/CF who can drop between that position of ST and CM, and with soft links to the likes of Lukaku, KDB and Hazard, thoroughly impressed.

Dries Mertens FutFire Card

Budget Gem of Serie A

With every annual instalment of FIFA, the Serie A has always been an early go to for affordable great cards. FIFA 22 is no different. Through the abundance of packs that have been opened, coupled with a downgrade, Mertens has gone from 90k in FIFA 21 to a ridiculous 4k in FIFA 22. Despite the price discrepancy between the two cards, they're virtually identical in stats as well impact i...

One of the best attackers under 500k

Although I was unsure to do this card even though Napoli is one of my favourite fans, I was even more unsure which version of Mertens to take. I played his gold at striker earlier this year and loved him so the fire was tempting. But I decided I would play him cam behind Benzema and fekir. First few games I didn't like him, he would just get bullied off the ball every time anyone got ne...
