85 - Dynamic Duos
4.5
Mighty Marko Arnautovic
By OnkelCze, 25-10-2022

I used Arnautovic Rulebreaker for a while last FIFA so when this guy dropped I was very excited to give him a try. I promoted into DIV 1 right before I did him so save to say he was going into a competitive enviroment. He did not disappoint. I promoted into Elite yesterday and this card played a pivotal part in that happening, Ill give a detailed rundown on the card but I'll set the scene first.

I used him on a Marksman in the linked Squad in a 4321 formation on Target Man instructions, his physicality often allowed him to win Headers against the likes of even VVD and he was generally great at bullying especially smaller CBs.


Pace: 7.5/10

Lenghty makes all the difference here, if he gets space he is often gone. He wont be the guy to just blast past defenders however so you have to play it smart with him if he gets the ball in front of defenders. Maybe if you used a Hunter to boost pace he'd be quicker but I liked the Marksman on him still.


Shooting: 9.5/10

His shooting and finishing is insane, his 4* WF might as well be 5* and the outside foot shoot enables you to hit screamers from outside the box, no matter the angle inside the box he's always a threat.


Passing: 8/10

His passing was surprisingly good, he would often send Antony or Danjuma down the wings with some great passes, eventually setting himself up to score again.


Dribbling: 8/10

With the Marksman to boost his dribbling plus the 4* SM this dude becomes a Menace in the box, very hard to get the ball off of him if you know what you're doing, he's obviously no Vini or Mbappé though.


Defending: -


Physicality: 9/10

Probably the second best thing about this card after the shooting, the way he shields the ball while running from defenders is very good, he can also distribute well in front of the defense while protecting the ball from defenders and frequently wins headers either from Goalkicks or from Corners.


All in all a very fun card for a dirt cheap price, if you're in need of a cheap Serie A Striker then look no further! The only serious downside for me would be the Medium attacking workrate as even on get in behind he's sometimes hesitant to make runs, but that's about it.

As an Austrian I had to make the dynamic duos SBC. Both Arna and Posch are great cards and fun to play.

Although Arna is 6'4'' he feels very agile and smooth on and off the ball. His strenght helps him a lot to protect the ball from big CB's.

Shooting is also prette descent. 4*4* is pretty nice aswell. To get him on full chem you only need to play Posch (descent CB) and any othe Serie A player.

Playing him in the WL would be very tough.


Nevertheless a defentively GO TO SBC. For 20k you get a fun card withe a real gameface.

Do this SBC and make Arna great again.

Way better than expected
By sethbboy14, 26-10-2022

I used Marko Arnautovic's Dynamic Duo card in the attached squad as the RST in a 4222 in-game in Division 5 rivals. His instruction set was simply stay forward + False 9 and he was partnered up top by Luuk De Jong's Rulebreaker card which I have also written a review for. I am on old-gen and used Arnautovic with a hunter chem-style to try and give him the ability to make fast runs into the box and latch onto crosses and through balls.


I am not very good at FIFA 23 but I can definitely tell when a player is overpowered this year. With the hunter chem-style and his lengthy accelerate type he is a lethal option for the game this year and only costs about 20k as an SBC right now. He is easy to get chemistry to if you complete Posch's section of the SBC and have a couple of other Serie A players.


His passing, pace, and physical are his best attributes so I would highly recommend him as a second striker or CF instead of as a lone striker because his link-up play is so good. There are not many better options on the game for forwards in Serie A in my opinion and he definitely outperforms players like Immobile or Rashford POTM for me.

Pace + Physical combo

  • Arnautovic really feels similar to the way someone like Cantona plays in-game. His height and strength combined with the fact he has the lengthy running type and a decent base pace + dribbling stat makes it very difficult to get him off of the ball when running towards goal
  • There are very few players who can stop him once he gets running in behind
  • He has a great ability to win headers and pretty much never loses a duel with his great well-rounded physical stats
  • I don't have to sub him off because his stamina is solid and he doesn't lose that burst of speed late in games


Dribbling + 4* skills

  • Despite his bulk and relatively low agility and balance stats, he is so adept at controlling the ball in tight areas and breaking in behind
  • Can very easily hit a fake shot or a berba spin to beat a player with skill
  • Doesn't feel very clunky at all in good gameplay
  • Can win you penalties


Heading

  • Wins a lot of aerial duels
  • Has a powerful and accurate header both for shooting and passing


Passing

  • Is easily the best creative forward I have used all year
  • Creates goals easier than anyone such as POTM Rashford, Cody Gakpo POTM, Mahrez, Savio, and others
  • Great long distance passing and crossing
  • Pretty much never misplaces a short pass on either foot


Attack Positioning

  • Always seems to be in the right place to create or score
  • Makes great runs for headers, tap-ins, and through balls


Outside the foot shot trait


Great penalties

Shooting

  • Scored many goals for me but about 1/3 of them were penalties
  • His shooting stat is 86 but probably feels closer to 80-83 on his worst games
  • Shot power is great but the accuracy on his right something to be desired
  • Will still score you goals from penalties or headers even if his finishing feels off
  • I struggled to get many outside-the-foot shots off in-game but I am sure that using that broken mechanic would improve how his shooting feels
  • Weak foot shooting is very suspect (play him on the right 100%)


Can be inconsistent in bad gameplay


Not very useful if you don't like using the lengthy-style players

Perfect striker for October
By SnufflestheMitten, 27-10-2022

Last year's rulebreaker card was obnoxious for it's price of around 20k; this one holds true to how good that card was and is a top-tier card, for the average player, with it only being October.

The lengthy hunter is overpowered, obviously, but his brilliant attacking AI is probably the biggest benefit here. I'm a 4-4-2 player, mostly, and through experimenting with Target Man instruction he has been great at holding up play while simultaneously making really good runs. In my untradeable only RTG he plays next to RB Avila and this is the big/small pairing which suits him as it allows him to link up and then make a run.
