King Cantona

By ClassOnGrass40, 12-01-2023

Another amazing attacker pulled, and one of my favorites IRL. Cantona might be one of the most overlooked cards in the game given he can literally do anything going forward. The only card with 87+ in every stat bar defending except for mid Gullit (who might be one of the top 3 players in the whole game), and 5* skill moves, he genuinely can match anyone's play style. He's a bully up top and has an insane jamminess to him - he's nicknamed Jamtona in FIFA for a reason - and surprisingly good breakway speed once he gets running. He has his moments dribbling where he feels like a ballerina which is insane for someone that is 6'2 with 89 strength. One of the most fun and effective cards to use in the game and his prime has been added to the top of my list as cards I want to try the most.

IMO his price is incredible, 600k for an amazing, do-it-all striker that gives 2 french links and you don't have to get him on chemistry??? Almost seems to good to be true. While he isn't one of the best players on the game and will be outclassed by the likes of Pele, R9, and Cruyff, he is easily one of the best value for money icons on the game.

Insane breakaway speed
Skill moves are quick and effective for someone so physically dominant
Amazing passing, probably the most overlooked part of Cantona
Physicality is insane, there really isn't anything he can't do
Shooting is incredibly consistent, doesn't miss 1v1s
Cheat code on corners
Dribbling is surprisingly quick for someone so big

A little clunky turning sometimes, even though the higher agility and balance help him turn like a ballerina most of the time
Not the fastest first step
