Player Review

88 - World Cup Showdown S

4.5

Most Reliable Striker of '23 for me.

By Welflex, 06-03-2023

I've been lucky enough to have the coins to try a lot of different strikers that fit into this team you see attached here. Although there are some strong options, no one has been quite as reliable as Thuram. I feel like this card is often overlooked; that may be due to many not completing the SBC during the World Cup because Thuram wasn't the player they would've chosen for a France SBC, or maybe it was the post "lengthy meta" effect of people not looking to use larger, stronger strikers after the patch. Regardless, this Thuram can do more than you'd expect, he's 6'4 with 99 Strength with a Hawk, very good shot power and finishing, and sneaky good dribbling.

I find myself pinging through balls to Thuram often, his strength and pace make sure he gets to the ball, and his finishing and shot power makes sure he puts it away. The Finesse shot trait helps with the 3 star weak foot for when you find yourself in the left side of the box, or your opponent is moving the keeper to prevent cross goal finishes. I've found a lot of success Ronaldo Chopping with Thuram when the defender is keeping up with his pace, he's too strong to take off the ball and if they do, it will likely result in a foul/penalty.

If he's still sitting in your club at this point in the game, give him a shot, you won't regret it.

Marcus Thuram

Lengthy Meta isn't dead

This guy is something else. Clinical on his right foot, big in the box for crosses, and faster than anyone with his lengthy acceleration. With a Marksman his dribbling isn't half bad either, but beware due to his size he is not someone you can spin around with.
