84 - PL POTM SBC
Hello everyone, and welcome back in FIFA 23!
This is my first review this FIFA and oh boy what a first review will this be!
So today I will be reviewing...
Marcus Rashford!
His POTM costs around 140k, which (to many people) sounds overpriced, but let me tell you, it's not!
I played him at ST in 41212(2), 433(4) and 5122. I used the "Finisher" chemistry style.
Anyway, let me get to the ratings...
Pace: 9/10
He's rapid. He is very fast. His 88 pace combined with the dribbling is a very dangerous combination. Even though his sprint speed is higher than his acceleration, it really doesn't matter!
Shooting: 8.5/10
He's dangerous. His shooting is superb, although he does miss sometimes. His shooting isn't THE BEST, but it does do the job very well.
Passing: 8/10
He does the job. He's a striker, so he doesn't pass that much. He's good enough.
Dribbling: 9.5/10
Holy... His dribbling is fantastic. He dribbles past anyone. His 5 star skills makes it almost impossible to get the ball off of him. He is THAT guy.
Defending: N/A
He's a striker... Nothing much to say here really.
Physicality: 8/10
Strong. His strength is good. He doesn't get bullied, lasts the whole match and has good heading. SOLID.
Overall: 9/10
Phenomenal. Overall a very VERY nice card. His 3 star weak foot may sometimes be a problem though. Some people may say he's overpriced, but come on. It's Rashford! He always plays above his stats.
Similar to:
Jota, Jesus, Diaz, Any striker with very good dribbling and pace.
Stats:
Games: 19
Goals: 22
Is he worth it?
I did him for free, so for me his is worth it. For you though it depends on your coin balance and cards stored in the club. If you can do at least 2 of the squads for free then I'd say go for it!

-Shooting
-Passing
-Physicality
-The player overall
-Defending
-Price (For some)
I spent all my coins and half my squad on this card, in my opinion slightly overpriced. However he surprised me as his stats didnt reflect how good he was ingame. I played him at striker in a 4 - 2 -2 -2. I used a finisher on him as well
Very Responsive
Good Top Speed
Great Finishing
Great Dribbling
Nice Physicals
5 Star Skills
3 Star WF
Bad Passing (keep it short)
Price
His acceleration was a bit dodgy at times
First of I've got to mention that if you are not a Manchester United supporter or love Rashford, I do not recommend doing him. Very expensive sbc, and it's only a +3 from his gold card.
If you do decide to do him then you are in for a treat. This guy with a finisher chemistry style is very hard to defend against. His 3* wf doesn't seem to matter too much with his 98 finishing (with chem. style). He's got H/L work rates which is an upgrade from his gold card which is M/L. This guy makes very good AI runs, has a decent passing ability and good physicality, so harder to get off the ball.

- Price
I was able to do Rashford for free and played him in a 2 striker formation with various players rotating around him. I preferred him on the right because cutting in with him was challenging due to this year's dribbling. If you know how to properly utilize sprinting he is rapid and very clinical. I did not skill much with him and used him mainly to run into space and low drive it across goal. In my opinion he was definitely worth the price especially if you like him in real life.
