Player Review

This review was done on PS5

I might be in the minority here, but i much prefer FUT Captains team 1 to team 2, however i could not resist trying out the new James Ward-Prowse card and, I can confirm, he is one of the best box to box midfielders available for players on a budget. It personally makes no sense to me how he is this cheap.

This card will excel with many different Chem styles, from a hawk and an engine if you play him as a box to box, or a hunter and a shadow if you want a more midfielder more specialised in attack or defence.

In my opinion, this card works best as a box to box midfielder, however you could definitely make a case for him being a CAM or maybe as a CDM with the correct chem style.

Overall: This card is incredible, and one of the best budget btb midfielders you can buy, and i would highly recommend this card to anyone. I really struggled to find many faults with this card to be honest, he always delivered.

Rating 9.5/10

Alright so I really like Ward-Prowse as a player in real life so when he dropped I bought him straight away. I had used his gold card earlier in the year for fun but unsurprisingly he wasn't the best, so it's nice that he's finally useable. I used him as a box-to-box in a 41212(2) with a basic chem style. Elite div rivals/ fut champs.

He is incredible. No joke I think he could play any position outside of the backline. His height makes him feel so agile and quick, and his shots are mad. Definitely has the hidden finesse shot trait. Not sure how to write a review so I'll just put it into categories.

• Pace- No issues here. He feel surprisingly quick for 85 pace. I could easily outrun almost any opposition player in the midfield with or without the ball. More than enough for a midfielder. 9/10.
• Shooting- As I said before, he has the hidden finesse shot trait. Get it near the edge of the box and it's in, especially if you green time it. A couple of times he made his way into the box and slotted it past the keeper with ease in 1v1 situations. 9/10.
• Passing- Obviously it's going to be incredible, look at those stats. The only passes that don't hit feet are at the fault of myself. His freekicks are also insane, I almost scored an absolute worldie from 30 yards out but the keeper somehow got it off the line. 10/10.
• Dribbling- Felt very responsive. Great agility and balance made him glide around players with ease, and the 4* skill move upgrade made it possible for some razzling of the opposition. No complaints. 9/10.
• Defending- The defending was good enough, but he did feel a bit lacking at times. Interceptions were amazing though, and I'd say he'd win the ball 8/10 times if you're a half good defender. Heading I can't say much, just don't rely on him to win it if the balls in the air. 8/10.
• Physical- Now for a little guy, this really surprised me. He only has 80 strength, but my god it felt like atleast 90. Man was bodying players like tonali, caliguiri, vieira, etc. I don't know how. Stamina at 95 was also incredible. He could run around all 90 and into extra time if needed.

For only 60-70k on the ps you are getting an absolute steal. This man can do everything asked of him and more. Also a fun card to use, maybe give the jorginhos and the de jong's a rest and get this guy.

i recently got this guy out of the campaign bag player pick and decided to do this review on him. 100% on of the best cm in the prem and for his value 100% worth the card. He is cheap for what he is capable of doing in game. He can even get pass players quite easily and he feels very smooth on the ball. He has good pace and dribbling and amazing passing, 9 out of 10 is a perfect pass from ward prowse. i would recommend trying this card out
