King Benz

By Necknecknecker, 11-02-2023

Now i was lucky enough to pack this guy on my birthday from a store pack (thank you EA). Now am i lucky or was this just a birthday miracle?? Benzema slotted right up front in my team and got full chemistry straight away linking to my PTG vini and winter wildcard toni kroos.

I have played him left striker in a 4-2-2-2 with mid jairzinho as the right striker. Before benzema i had showdown origi and giroud previously and i found that benzema was much better than either of these tall strikers.(giroud was class but origi was horrible) I found having him paired with a quick player like jairzinho allowed him to play to his best abilitys.

With benzema being a taller striker many would think that his dribbling would be very clunky but i found the opposite he was nothing like vini agile but he was much better than expected and was definitly still useable and amazing for a player with this build.

onto his shooting, i found his shooting to be the perfect his shots are powerful but always accurate and when you get 1v1 you know he is scoring.

benz's passing is amazing for a striker his through balls out wide to open runners are always on point. with him being paired with jairzinho up front his passing ability really shined playing through balls to him with ease usually ending up with a goal.

his pace may not be the best thing on paper but he is quite quick onto through balls and combined with 90 physicals the pace felt really nice as he often shoved the defender off of him wiile running and blazed away

wont talk much about his defending but he often bullies the defender and wins the ball high up the pitch for an easy goal

only major con i found with him was he is inconsistent with his headers off corners and is much better with a bicycle or a volley

Karim Benzema

Men's Player of the Year 2022

What a year first off. Don't think there was one person not routing Benzema for the Ballon d'Or and as a result, received the most recognised individual reward in football.Was lucky to pack this guy which was also my first ever TOTY so cheers ea. Thought people would want an insight to how he is for a 2mil card (currently) as I found previous TOTY cards like Lewandowski were disappointing.

Karim Benzema

God himself

OMG! Packed him in a 82+ pack and was extremely disappointed with my pull. But i assembled a quick squad around him and gave Karim a chance.My guy bangs in every ball that comes near him, and outpaces and destroys every defender trying to come near him.His card is so well balanced with his passing, pace and shooting, and if you have a quick and agile striker next to him (I use Chiesa) he will become deadly.

WORLD CLASS

Well.. never thought I was going to like Benzema so much in FIFA. This guy is absolutely cracked and here is why:I play on next gen, and currently between div 6 and div 5. I play him in a 4411 at CF with Haaland on top. What this guy does for me everytime is drop in the exact right position to collect the ball and create deadl...
