Player Review
91 - Normal
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 deadly chances. Either it is with his amazing linking play or have a go himself with a dribble and shot. His shot speaks for itself, everything goes in. In the box, outside the box with L2, it does not matter. His dribble and movement is really silky and reminds me of the IRL Benzema. With the new meta being lengthy, architect is the way to go. This will help him to get in behind and when he is up to speed there is no catching him. And he bodies defenders with his strength.
Is he better than Haaland? I say he is different. If you can afford both, partnering them is deadly.
But if you can't, Benzema feels amazing on the ball, which gives you the comfort to dribble past defenders and turn all the way you like in front of the goal to create space. This guy is a complete attacker and a gamechanger for your squad. Haaland is more brute strength, pace and forward runs. KB9 has the ability to send him away everytime with no problem. His passing is really good, even his long passing and through balls. I played Haaland next to Jota and there was not much variation in my attacks. Benzema changed this all

I do not like reviews who have no cons players, because a perfect player is impossible. But believe me if I say I have a hard time giving him any cons at the moment.. Maybe I would say I did not see any headers go in, but could be because of my playstyle with him. A lot on the ball and 1-2s with forwards.
