No joke, the best striker I've used this year!!!
By Millaricher, 24-02-2022

Being an avid Liverpool supporter, I felt that I would be doing an injustice to Liverpool fans everywhere if I did not complete this card. It's Divock Origi for crying out loud, I just had to do him!


Whilst I originally only completed him just for the sake of it, I decided that I may as well had to try him out in division rivals. Being in Elite, I was only predicting him to last a few games before I eventually had to swap him back out with my 91 Torres, thinking that he just wouldn't cut it. Safe to say, I was proven wrong!


After scoring a hat-trick on his debut I started to get a funny feeling about this card, but instead chalked it up to being a bit lucky and a not so great opposition. 10 games later, he has managed to bench Torres and single handedly won me games in the Elite division.

He seems to be one of those players that gets so much 'jam'. He always manages to keep possession, even in situations where he shouldn't keep the ball, it is as if he glitches the opposition defender and retains it.


His pace is also out of this world. He is lighting quick on the off and can turn with ease. In a front three consisting of 88 Vini and 92 Salah, he is the one who seemed to be the quickest and sharpest for me. His shooting is also phenomenal. He was scoring goals from angles I didn't even know were possible. In addition to this, his 4* weakfoot did not seem like 4* at all. I used to have Numbers Up Jota in my team and he had a phenomenal 5* weakfoot, yet, it seems as if Origi's is just as good. His shot power is also insane, many times I would let it rip from 20 yards out and it would thunder into the back of the net.


Furthermore, his heading accuracy seems to be better than any player I have used this game. In the 11 games I played with him today, of the 25 goals he scored for me, 4 of these were headers with 3 coming from corners. What makes this crazy is that I probably scored more headers today than I have in the past 3 months of FIFA.


Finally, his strength is also really good and is what makes it seem like the ball is glued to his feet, he can hold off and push defenders away with ease and once he starts barring down on goal there is no stopping him.


Overall, an incredible card at such a cheap price point as well. On top of this, if Liverpool manage to win the Carabao cup on the weekend then he is only going to get better, which is a scary thought in of itself.


A player who I played with almost as a joke has turned into one of my favorite forwards. A surprise to be sure but a welcome one.

Probably not good in goal.

Scores loads...just not from corners taken quickly
By jadynjack, 27-02-2022

This year I have made a point to have fun with FIFA and not play the meta for meta sake. Being a Liverpool fan, I've got a mostly Liverpool club barring an untradeable gold Varane (who will be swapped for an IF VVD at some point) and a gold Kante (who I've determined is the only "meta" non-Liverpool player that will remain staple in my club). Being a Div 1/Elite player, 7/10 are pay to win with FB Varane & TOTY defenders, and my old combo of Salah, Mane, Coutinho & Jota was lacking slightly. However when Divock dropped, I automatically dropped my Fodder on him.


He's made an unbelievable difference - I play him as a target man primarily in a 4222 and while he can't outrun FB Varane he can hold him off and tap the ball off to either Mane, Jota or Salah to get them in behind. He's also great on the ball for a tall striker. Arguably more agile and fluid (barring 5* skills) then gold Ronaldo. So when you're in a crowded box, he can wiggle out of spaces most tall strikers can't.


If you're a meta rat - he's not for you. But if you enjoy playing classy football (not just booting a ball long and getting POTM Vinny or Mbappe in behind), you will enjoy him.

  • Hold's off everyone
  • Great in the air
  • Agile for a tall striker
  • Decent passing
  • Fantastic shooting


(extra: doing the big man dance on meta rats with an Origi card)

  • Not the meta
  • Doesn't automatically score many goals from corners taken quickly

Absolute Menace
By Mettmafia, 07-03-2022

I honestliy didnt expect much from this card as i completed his SBC, because i already had a decent striker (Best 90) and I expected Loverpool to choke the final.

But thanks to Kepas penalties he got a sexy Upgrade and jumped in my team for a weekendleague. I used him with the marksman chemstyle to boost his dribbling, which I saw as an issue on this card and his jumping to compete with the belgian air forces.

And what a suprise he was, as my cheapest offensive player (you can look at my team via the link), he clearly stood out with 25 Goals in 20 gam,es that lastet an average of probably 60 minutes.

Since some people will call me a Division 10 fun merchant I am a Elite-Divisoin Player with roundabout 14 wins per WL ;)

Pace:

i mean 97 pace does speak for itself and in combination with the physical hes unstoppable when hes through


Shooting:

Its save to say that he is a Woodwork-magnet but beyond that his shooting feels similar to Toty Lewandowski- he just doesnt miss


Passing:

His short passing is good - nothing exeptional, but he delivers his short passes and i dont really do long passes 


Dribbling:

The positive aspects of his dribbling are ball control and reactions (more in the negative aspects)


Defending: 

I coulnt care less about the defensive abilities of my striker, but his heading accuracity is something else-doesnt really miss


Phisical:

Absolute menace- can push back everery defender i played against and is so good in the air. It feels like he generates a forcefield around him that pushes back enemies.

Dribbling:

due to the bodytype I had some issues in narrow spaces, but since i dont really dribble that much with my striker it hasnt really bothered me.

DivCock the goat
By Ioannou05, 05-03-2022

Listen, he's fantastic on rivals and WL, on squad battles he is shit like every other player cuz like yknow if this game wants u to lose even from a bronze squad u will. So yeah sb dont matter , hes FAST hes got STRENGHT and INSANE FINISHING, and for a big guy hes got very good agility too its very suprising. Before the upgrade he was already goated but now hes more goated.

If you say hes shit on everything you just never play rivals or wl just sb.

Insane pace hard to catch

Fantasic shooting

Suprisingly good passing

Physical is insane

Dribbling for a big guy is miraculous

Headers of course 90% go in every time.


Hits the crossbar many times.



Overall fantastic card. Love it!

SLOW AS SHIT
By sfalle, 03-03-2022

I made the origi because I needed a good, cheap spearhead.Before the game against Chelsea, he was horrible at everything.

After the victory and the upgrade, his dribbling improved and also his passing (I felt the difference) But it got MUCH SLOWER, IT LOOKS LIKE HE HAS 80 PACE. It's like benzema, its good striker outside the box, but don't get him to appear behind the defenders, they'll catch him

Shooting

Pass

PACE!!!!!!!

Sometimes the dribbling
