Stay a Gangbanger like Benzema

By Kahat, 06-11-2022

This Legend just hit the 200 games mark in my club and I'm about to put him to sleep for good, but I loved him for the time and this is why I'm now writing this review.

I packed him untradeable very early on and he played every match ever since, if you get him in position, he will get the job done no question, wether by foot or head, just as you'd expect from a card like this.

Biggest downside from my experience is the mobility of the guy, while he will slay it when he is in position, it got progressively harder to get him there as the opponents got quicker and stronger defenders, as i went up the leagues and the better defenders went down in price. Even when he was right in a space between the CBs, he often times ended up getting cought pretty easy.

A similiar issue is his dribbling and movement with the ball, he turns a little heavy in the box and you can lose possesion quite easy.

But I don't want to downplay his qualities, I'd assume if you were to pair him with a more agile and quicker striker he might still be quite the stud, as I really like the 4231 narrow I have to rely on a sole striker and he just doesn't fit the role anymore. Especially since he is not only a deadly finisher, but also an incredible wall player and assist provider, especially in the last 50 odd games he contributed almost as many assists as goals for my team, with architect Chem Style he can keep almost any CB at bay due to his crazy strength and provide the last pass(in part due to his natural passing stats and in part due to the chem style) to one of my CAMs.

All in all a great player and even though he just got dropped from my team, i can really recommend him for anyone looking for deadly striker.

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.

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...
