David Ginola

    4.5
    Great Card
    ByGorgFloyd15-08-2022

    Packed Ginola out of an 85x10. He is somehow still worth over 1mil in august, but I can see why. I play him in a 4-2-2-2 at ST. The first thing I noticed with this card is his shooting and composure. He never goes wide of the goal when shooting, and paired with his 5* WF he is a serious contender for best No9 in the game. His dribbling is quite good, but much like TOTS Leao his High and Average body type paired with his 6'1" height takes off the edge compared to cards like Di Natale and Ribery, who turn faster. He also stumbles a little bit in 1v1s due to his height, and I have seen it in other players of similar builds such as TOTS Son. The 5* skills more than makes up for these issues however. His passing is excellent for a striker, and he has gathered 30+ assists in 43 games. Another plus is his physicality. Unlike tall and weak players like Son, he is able to hold off most defenders, and is a great aerial threat on set pieces and crosses. His pace is also good, but he feels noticeably slower than my 98 bale despite having only 1 pace stat less, he is still very fast and easily breaks through the back line. Great Card overall, but incredibly overpriced due to his rarity

    Pace - very fast

    Shooting - incredible target man

    Passing - can pick out anyone on the field

    Strength - great hold up player if necessary

    Jumping and Heading

    5*5*

    Great ball control and dribbling

    Can feel a little clunky sometimes - very on/off.

    not as fast as the 98 pace suggests

    stumbles a little bit

    can sometimes be less of a threat on set pieces for reasons I don't know

    The Icon-ish I've Always Wanted
    So many icons i have used in past Fifas have always had a downside, unless you are talking the top 5 bad boys every other icon you have to sacrifice. Perhaps they are very one footed, maybe they have 3/4* skill moves or their workrates let them down. If its not that its their body type you just cant get on with. Whilst i appreciate Ginola isn't technically an 'Icon' card he gives me a 3 way link to Mbappe and a 2 with any Lig...

    BEAST
    All games played where in fut champs finals, he played right striker in a 41212(2) on stay central and stay forward, full chem with an engine. In the 8 games played, i got 8-0, and he was a big reason for that. 8 games 18 goals and 7 assists for me.WOW, this guy is crazy. So far in this game I've used Neymar, Mbappe, CR7, baby Cruyff, Messi, Mane, Salah and inform Son. He has been far and away the best attacker I've used in t...

    The Best Striker?
    It's been a long time since I've written a player review, but I thought I should write one to help anyone thinking about buying Ginola.I took the plunge and bought Ginola for 1.4 million after watching his price slowly rise up from the initial release. At the time I thought it was a lot, but it looked like a bargain given how good he is and that his price rose to over 1.7m.A few points to start. I play in Div 2 and usually ge...
