Loool, that's exactly why I am saying it's a cash grab. I have already paid for the game, have similar players and your proposal is to pay 10 euros/dollars real money to upgrade him by +2? Dude this is a cost for another game People like you are responsible for the state of the game

Tbh 500k to upgrade the card a +2 and a playstyle seems a bit extreme. You will be able to evolve him to 91 for free in like a month or so Can't complain for a free cars, but Bellingham 89 was free months ago. The hype is real because after all is Maradona but feels like a massive cash grab

Ilic is better for 38k

Varane v2.0

People complain just to complain. A very similar card to Barella, without the links but with slightly better stats, almost for free

Very good, especially if you use formation with wingers (I do,for spacing)

I did the dribbling and I have no regrets. He is still my best defender. I was already using him from the beginning of the year as starter, and while he was always great his agility and balance were a bit lacking (also stamina). He will still be controlled lengthy,and with shadow you will already be maxing out sprint speed.

I hot him from the 89x5 pack and I couldn't believe his price. Used him for a week, and he is definitely an overpriced card especially if you use him as a FB. Feels very weak. Any version of Theo or Evo Mendy are hustle better. Just my opinion though

Depends on your playstyle. If you do more skills, then Ronny. If not definitely Bale

My last SBC was Vini POTM and my club and SBC storage was almost full of fodder. Did Bale for almost all fodder (expect players I want to keep for evo) plus Olise, plus 500k. I am so happy I avoided the TOTY blueprint, it paid off. Would take Bale over any TOTY blueprint any day

FC24 was 72 depth from start due to auto overload ball side. Fifa23 had also very high lines.

Gold Mendy with some of the free evos that were provided is also Meta, and he goes for nothing. I get that Balde is better and I can understand a 200k-300k price tag but don't get the 1,5MM +

I opened the 5x89+ pack today and got disappointed. Was hoping for a Ronaldo or a Haaland or even a Rivaldo. I got Mascherano and Trapp and ok Balde who I checked stats and considering I use a mostly LaLiga team seemed to be an upgrade to my evo Mendy. Ok fine, whatever, I'll take it. Then I check futbin. 1,6 MILLION ! Who the hell pays 1,6 million for a 1.75 80 strength/75 aggression left back? Nah, I just don't get it and I have this card.

Olise is broken in this game and a steal for 80k. Also one of the very few cards that are RM inside forward ++ and probably the best of them all. Must buy if you play a 4-2-3-1 wide

Was finisher before artist, marksman after.

Pitch predator and artist and with 200k coins/fodder you have a 93 rated striker (finisher or marksman) with powershot plus, 4 wf and quick step/rapid/trivela/finesse/technical/long ball/ chip shot. Insane... Stats with Marksman - Mostly lengthy 95 pace, 92 shot ,86 pass, 94 dribbling, 91 physical AND only 87 rated, almost ready for another evo

LOOOOL at "insiders"

In my Rivals awards today I got Ribery. I had Vini POTM on the left so I decided to try Vini as striker and bench Lord Sorloth. I played 4,5 games with Vini up top. In the 5th game I replaced Vini on half time with the Lord who scored 4 goals in the second half. I am sorry Lord Sorloth that I considered benching you...

Good? Sorloth is good, Kean is good,Inaki is good at striker. For 1mm fodder I expect a game changer, not good

I completed him just 1 day before he expired for free using every fodder from swaps. I have never been so disappointed with an sbc. Was thinking that probably I have the issue because I do not skill a lot, but also when I play coop with my friend who is a skiller he also couldn't use him He feels VERY weak, while at the same time he lacks any explosiveness.

Was hesitant to buy him as a shadow striker because from the beginning of the year I have been using only SS++ (Dybala/Francescoli/Base Baggio/De Ketelaere) but he is amazing. Having said that in reality he was more shadow striker than LW so I don't know why EA insist giving him LW as main position. Incisive playstyle wouldn't hurt either

I guess you also don't use finesse with Son/Griezmann or headers with Van Dijk, or any power shots right?

I would play cdm, he completely lacks defender role and stopper is very inconsistent and stamina draining

I have not seen anyone using Pires all year long ,no matter if casual or hardcore. As others said option to casuals would be a Trezeguet CDM (as last year) that was a cheap beast for everyone. Owen ans Suker as wingers were okayish too. There was also a ST Barnes for almost nothing which was also cheap and great. Taking the most mid icon card and just give a standard upgrade is lazy

Literally, he lacks in passing, in agility, in shooting and in physical His only ok stat is pace for CAM. Literally if he wasn't an Icon but a gold card he would go for 10-11k as fodder

Which also noone uses

Dude he is 50k. What is the coins you are afraid to lose? Even if you can't sell him, keep him as investment. He is an evo away of being super OP

Honest review after champs. I used him in a 4231 as a poacher +. Negatives: He is not as dominant as FIFA23/FC24. Defenders wont bounce of him because of 99 strength.Obviously he is a bit heavy on the ball, so don't try to dribble a lot. Positives: He is undeniably really strong and jammy, scoring many "ugly" goals from bounce backs. Once he is behind the defensive line noone can stop him, he is just too strong and good sprint. 5*wf is obviously really important for a striker. Press proven with 99 physical is op. Just do a driven pass and press L2. 20g/8a in champs for 50k

He does have 87 short passing, 84 agility which is massive for his type and pass proven to hold the ball and lay it off. But this is preference. I also was using Inaki SBC with pitch predator and artist Evo on a finisher who was also amazing. Point is you don't need fifa points or the most expensive cards to compete

Community is brain dead. A striker that has been broken in the last 2 years, 93 rated with Hunter, 99 physical with 1.95 height, 95 pace with hunter, 5 wf, quick step, rapid, goes for 50k, yet they are willing to use their credit cards to buy packs to get a Dalglish for 4MM coins. Then they will also rage when they lose as "they have the most expensive team possible"

I will get him no matter what due to him being club legend, I just wish he was poacher ++ instead of target forward. Ok poacher + will do

Club legend

Please make him a Poacher ++ and not a target forward ++

My man after pitch predator and artist is on Mbappe levels, no hate

Yes sir!

Hawk for controlled lengthy is definitely an option too

No, the rapid is for max 88 cards

I have him untradable, is Rapid and Tiki Taka a waste on him?

I used his loan for 5 matches and decided not to complete. Instead I used all my fodder from swaps to Vini POTM. He was not bad at all, but I see everyone in these comments praising him, but I have not played against him in 15 champs games, appx 20 rivals and around 15 friendlies. SURELY if he was a good vfm sbc someone out of my 50 opponents would have been using him right?

Because you can give these to a max 88 player and he is a 90

I had already completed him, he had 88 rated cars with 86 pace, now he has 88 rated card with 87 pace. Basically he got all the +1 across everywhere, apart the overall. Merry Christmas everyone

I am lying, he did get the upgrades, just not the overall +1. He has though 87 pace for example

Mine didn't upgrade unfortunately

His dribbling is immense,definitely the best in game, but hw is very very short, which means he gets bullies of the ball quite easy. I am not much if a dribbler myself (and we play with minimum 40 ping in my country) so dribbling is not always consistent. Thunderstruck De Ketelaere evo was great for me, so I need to trey him more

I have done his evo attacking apprentice, will he still get the upgrade? Hope he does, he is already OP for me as shadow striker

I am sure he would be better in a 2 striker formation but then again De Ketelaere would also play the exact same role, and he also plays cam. As much as I loved the idea, I think the SBC is overpriced.

I am torn. When he released I was sure I would do him, but 500k is a hefty price so I tried his loan in a 4-2-3-1 wide in 3 games of rivals in div 2. While I won all 3, he didn't impress. He scored 2 goals,and had an assist but he felt a bit heavy. He can pass and open play for sure but was not convinced for his price tag. Thunderstruck De Ketelaere evo (Attacking apprentice) was playing CAM and was better in all games. To be fair they look and play VERY similar but one is 500k, the other is discard. 2 more matches loan left, he would need to do magic to make him do him.

I did him, but I agree

I guess we will be getting a rulebreakers SBC card

Don't do the SBC, use this card, save your fodder. Card is an amazing SS,with the known issues in shot power, which the sbc doesn't solve anyways

you are delusional if you think he is worse than gold Saliba/VVD and also he is an icon, meaning gives links to everyone

as long as you have reached your proper level of rivals you would be winning more or less 50% of your games. This means appx 20-24 games to get the 35 points, plus 15 games for Champs, plus 6 for playoffs. Thse are almost 50 games without playing any other mode or grinding the menus etc. 50 full games is almost 15 hours per week, which is a serious commitment. So if I just want to get the rivals awards and get on with it in the mode, of course I will leave the games in Rivals if e.g. I am 2-0 down in first mins. Just wanna get done with it

Hate as much as you want but he has 48 goals in 36 games for me in Champs and Div 2. Using hawk, and max outs the speed, making him also a bully

Lol, i bought this guy for 160K when he released and most of the users were saying that he is terrible :)

For sure man, I also liked the Baggio base card, that being said I am just dissapointed because EA could just give him more agility/shot power and maybe +2 on pace and the card would be amazing. They way they upgraded it, was executed REALLY poorly

So is his base card for half the price which you can sell again. What does this card do better that deserves 300k more untradable?

He is excellent, but so is his base card, for less than half the tradable price.

Yeah, he is insane. I also tried the base Baggio and went back to him. The only problem with Enzo is that he doesn't give any chemistry

I use Baggio and I will stick to his base tradeable one. This card costs more than double, you can't recover any of the fodder and FIXES NONE of the base card issues. No additional agility, pace or shot power, I don't really see the point of anyone upgrading.

I am sure you haven't used him

Nah, I prefer the wf, especially for a striker

Let's hope for a POTM ,ideally with 4*wf 🙏

Wtf is this?

He is a BEAST

Everyone goes Mendy, but having a CB with Defense Dynamo/Defense First/Full Force with 88 speed, 88 defense 87 strength and ALL defensive playstyles is not something to pass easily

FOR FREE vs 500k

Him, no question about it

Unless you have Mbappe, play him striker. He is great as RM inside forward ++, but would be a waste

Less than 100k is a steal for El Principe, with engine he just dances. He is a stronger/faster Dybala. First touch plus is OP for a CAM, he is insane. I literally can't find a player to replace him

Finisher

10000% finisher

Exactly man, why would you want to give a broken player, one of the most broken playstyle+ on the game, increasing his long shots, heading accuracy while at the same time improving his weaknesses (weak foot and passing) while increasing his overall by +1?

YES SIR!

Him or Francescoli as a SS in a 4-2-3-1 wide? Super happy with Francescoli so far. Donovan looks also a crazy card but Enzo has incisive, technical, gold first touch and SS++. I want to try Donovan but his strengths seem to fit more to a winger than a CAM ?

Exactly what was missing, another LALIGA promo RB

Hunter

Finisher is always the way to go with Inaki
