MORIENTES - HEROES FIFA 23 Prices and Rating

So... after last years disappointment with this card I gave him another chance because he was down to 85k and I thought he can't drop any further. Also with the feeling that taller players peform like theyre stats tell I thought it might be the time for another shot. There are still no body types on futbin and this card does not peform like a player with high&average did last year. With an engine he tops the 80s mark both on agility and balance and gets a dribbling of 92. And he feels exactly like this. He wont move like Messi, but also does not feel like the truck he felt like last year. The finishing is incredible with both feet, he is super strong with super headers, has decent passing, 4/4, and the pace is up to 88, which is enough in my opinion if you link him with the right players. I play him as ST in 4321 with Raphinha and Foden as CFs and I could not be happier. Even for the 140k which he costs now I still think this is a good value. I super happy that the meta this year allows to play higher players like him. Absolute rocket !!!

Morientes... Where to start with this man! He was the first hero that I picked up this year. Whilst searching endlessly for a big man to play as a striker who was a master at heading the ball and who had a bit of pace about him. Morientes came in replacing the IF Giroud, who was doing okay for me but lacked that killer instinct that was needed at the higher level. As soon as he was in the side, I stuck a hunter on him to give him that pace boost and to max his shooting out fully. In the side, Morientes played as right ST where he was paired up with Milito with Neymar sitting in behind in a 4-3-1-2. My experience with him is that this man scores GOALS. Inside the box he is a deadly marksman, putting away anything on a plate to him. Whether it is a chip, finesse or power, inside the box he just scores. Outside the box, he is still very handy. His trivellas aren't amazing but I still scored quite a bit with them. His finesse shots from 25 yards out on the corner of the box seemed to go in (need space though). Now onto the main reason why he is in the side; his heading. Wow, what can I say about this man, at 6'1 you would not expect him to win aerial battles but with 96 heading accuracy and 92 jumping he certainly does! From corners 9/10 times he wins the header and grabs a goal for me and has been crucial in many wins in FUT champs. As I said his shooting is amazing but what about his other statistics? Pace... This is an interesting one, with a hunter on and with 84 pace you would expect him to be quick. But he's not the best. He can beat some players once he gets going but with the likes of Araujo and Walker, he does get blitzed. However, with him being so strong, this man is a machine at holding the ball up and dishing off a pass to your player making a run. Morientes can shrug off players with ease, which is handy when he is in those 50/50 situations. His dribbling leaves a lot to be desired, but he is never going to be your Ben Yedder or Mbappe type of striker. He is your stallion, your big bull, your battering ram. If he can't find a way through he will force a way through. That leaves us with his passing, typical striker when it comes to this. with the short passing fine but anything past 15 to 20 yards good luck! All in all a superb card to use and is very cheap with good goals-to-game returns as well! If you have a spare 150k try him out!

What on earth is going on here, this guy has to be the most slept on card I’ve seen in Fifa history. He’s currently 140k on the market and I honestly have no idea why, because he is simply incredible value and I don’t think people realise how good he is. I’ve used Sorloth IF and Haaland who are both broken cards, but this guy is just better, plain and simple.

There aren’t really any glaring weaknesses to his game. He has all the jaminess you could want from a lengthy striker and fits the next gen meta perfectly, but also offers so much more than just being a lob through ball merchant. His versatility is by far his greatest strength, and its why I love this card so much, because there isnt really a situation that he isnt comfortable in. Used a Hawk on him at first but then switched to a Marksmen, both good options but I much preferred him with Marksmen as his dribbling noticeably improved.

He is the complete package for an affordable price.

Well where to start with this specimen of a man. Sold Haaland because I really wanted to try Morientes and I like to change my squad up so the game doesn't get stale.

and....NO REGRETS

This guy isn't as fast but just as clinical and the 4* 4* combo really gives more options in attack. Everytime he was through on goal the opponent literally couldn't catch up. His positioning and runs (even when not triggered, just natural) were immense, a dream to play with.

Morientes. Packed him out of a 2x 80+ pack, and he feels good. His finishing is great, and his strength and speed are okay. He is one of the few lengthy players who actually turns okay, and can also very effectively hold up the ball. He is one of the best lengthy players that I have used. However, his best area is in corners, he scores generally 50% of all corners that he connects with.
