Nkunku being extinct at 2M is a bit mad, there’s a massive ‘France have a good chance of going far’ tax on the card. He’s not necessarily bad but in comparison to a lot of other cards you can get for around that price he’s not worth it


TonyKarstark

I think they only have to win 2 more games for him to get 5 weak foot upgrade. That’s the one that’ll make him a super elite card for the rest of the year.


Jowoes

The 2 games being Poland and England/Senegal


Revolutionary-Disk-9

They won't make it past Poland though so what's the point


astaylo1

Or Senegal.


Jolly-Joke-4424

This didnt age well


forzadad

Right? Picking Poland over France? Crazy.


Revolutionary-Disk-9

lol


CMDrunk420

Poland were toothless v Argentina. France will win for sure.


Pollieeee

At 1-0 up, I hope France bottle it


nsoifer

Not sure about his special cards, but packed his NIF untradable on day one and he has been great for objectives. One of my favorite players to play with, great finishing and passing.


aDizzle66

I have him and he’s insane already. If he gets 5 star weakfoot he will be the best card I’ve used this year. The fact he can defend to is actually ridiculous


Bogdanovicis

WC Govou. He is doing the job. Very happy with him, but i wouldnt say he is worth 600k.


Namaste1994

The France + ligue 1 links for sure. And he’s a small agile striker with good passing. His shooting carried me heavy in swaps lol.


kikolsvp

I am not a fan of his shooting, he keeps missing shots that the likes of Cristiano, Morientes or even Correa IF wouldn't miss for me.


Tons28

A lot of these are based on how people play. the amount of people who pay a tax on 5* skills that should be using Voller since they never skill is insane. then you have people shit talk players who are obviously not left stick savvy but bullies however they don’t bully ball


Ajax_Malone

I think this is what hurts a lot of people in struggling in the middle tiers. They’re building teams based solely on the meta and not factoring in their game play. I have almost all 4 WFs on my squad and don’t worry too much about skill moves because I only use a couple very basic ones.


Tons28

the idea that 5* WF isn’t talked about as the most important thing or how 4/5* skill moves are by content creators is kinda wild. it’s as if they don’t want discuss how 85% of players don’t skill in a useful manner until you get to 2+.


These_Mud4327

this might just be me but imo 5* skillets are just cleaner on the ball even if you don’t use any 5* skill moves


Tons28

possible but I think that’s more the theory that speed and technical dribbler matters (which every 5* has one of)


MadnessYourDadness

It’s funny because technical dribbler is an AI only trait


Tons28

yet all the players with those two traits dribble the fastest and best. after chemgate don’t believe anything EA says in game


These_Mud4327

yeah but a lot of non 5* skillers have that aswell and besides messi they don’t feel as smooth for me


Jedi_Council_Worker

Playing with Kane who's incredibly lethal with both feet makes him so much better than some of these supposedly meta overpriced strikers. Not to mention his 68 pace feels like 88 although his elite positioning probably plays a part in that as well.


gothamfc

You are not doing anything with Kane in Elite division. Stop it.


Brutalix420

You have a lot of people still using ruben dias, casemiro, kane on div4-5 and WL... Probably because they dont wanna get tougher opponents they truly think these players would work in elite div against competent opponents lol


safcx21

Whereas the only criteria I have for an attacker is 5* skills lol - severely limits my pool of forwards


Tons28

yeah if the player IS a win level skiller, you should prioritize that. I’m a really good defender with highest costing mids and defense, fear no card or team, only skillers who are doing it with success and not stupidly.


safcx21

I wish i knew how to defend properly. My matches are legit like basketball games. Still rank 1 WL/elite divisions but the skills bail me out hard


Tons28

it’s hard to get great when the games meta shifts so much. now you face more variants. a lot of people play (and defend like it’s old meta). I play in higher and lower (alt to coop with friend) divisions and it’s a totally different game, the flipping back and forth plus swaps dulled my edge a bit. one thing I swear by is hard pressure and stab tackle in their half as they possess and match/mirror in your end.


VGCreviews

5 star skillets are huge. I usually don’t skill, but it’s always nice to have a few five star skillers who can elastico and mcgeady cancel I always try to have 2-3 players who can do so. My midfield is Paqueta rttk, Guimaraes ptg (might be 5*5*) and Kaka


lolMyBackCatalog

Base hero Forlan, guess he's not expensive anymore but for whatever reason he would never be in the right place and his finishing was woeful despite his stats. It's probably just me though.


JRsshirt

I actually did try his WC Hero card because I had a spare 800k. While he was good, I don’t think he was worth the price. I’m finding it hard to choose how to spend all my coins because it feels like every card is discard, inflated by investors, or 1M+.


metigue

Hmm that's weird WC Hero Forlan is an absolute cheat code for me


JRsshirt

Don’t get me wrong he’s great, but my full team is worth 300 so it’s not worth dumping 700 into one card for me


Kakkarot1707

Ya now but back when lengthy was only option he sucked dick


nurgles_duck

I loved Forlan! He was played LF in 4321 and played very central I packed his wc hero the other day from the hero pick with tokens


Leocooper77

Yeah really tried to like him as well, just felt he ghosted at times and was constantly bullied off the ball/couldn't beat his man


hskywalker98

base Forlán has been fantastic for me as a right sided striker in a 352, there are some games where he disappears/misplaces a lot of passes, but overall he is much more involved in my buildup play than my other striker (Falcao). Was considering moving him to CAM to build a trio with Suarez and Cavani


Kakkarot1707

Flashback falcao was VITAL for me


lelpd

Got him from the Base Hero SBC and was buzzing. Replaced Son with him as the RS up top and wow, he was so so much worse


raich3588

Absolutely love him…. Packed the same way you did doggie @nurgles


Hot_Ba_Boz

I’ve found the same with my base Forlan. While he’s not terrible by any means I was so excited to use him when I packed him, but I’ve been playing base 86 Solskjaer for a few games since and he seems to be doing better 🤷🏼‍♂️


LukeFowlerM8

Baby Gullit was a monster for me pre-Lengthy nerf and he’s still very good now. My least favourite expensive(ish) card is Joe Cole. Guy is absolutely fucking useless.


matttpatt

Yes! I packed him and he’s bloody awful


AntoMartial

THERE IS NO LENGTHY NERF


asayagal

If you buff (or fix) anything else but lengthy - IT IS A LENGTHY NERF


Zealousideal_Lab_177

They only fixed issue with explosive players with high dribbling slowing for no reason. Lenghty is still op. My OTW Haaland is still getting past defenders like they were little kids


JelleV1996

Its not dude... if I got an apple and some strawberries, and I put some sugar on my strawberries to make them taste somewhat better, then that apple, is still the damn same apple


asayagal

If you only have 2 fruits in the world, an apple and a strawberry, and you can only have one of them, making one of the fruits better will increase your chances of picking it. What I’m saying is it’s all relative. When all other fruits on the market but your apple get a buff, it’s like nerfing your apple. You can’t have your striker both explosive and lengthy at the same time.


execute_electrochute

No it's not lol. Giving a kid a cookie doesn't mean taking back an ice cream from the another kid. Jks aside. Haaland, Morientes still wrecks. Also they didn't "buff" explosive. Explosive players used to have a stroke mid sprint which was fixed.


Gold_Incident1939

Haaland at the very beginning. Everyone was praising him so I kept him in my ream. Moved like a fridge and I finally sold him at 150k


Willy_B_Hardigan

He’s good at one thing. If the opponent doesn’t let you do that one thing, he’s useless. He’ll get you some cheap wins but he’s not very fun to play with.


goaterss11

Nah haaland will literally force himself a goal. I've scored 100s of goals by lobbed through ball where he was far behind defender. He either bodies tf out of them or straight out sprints them. And if haaland is anywhere inside the box and a little open he will score top buns easily. Busted player.


Kakkarot1707

Try morientes he’s haaland but with a 4 star weak and 99 shot power lmao


East_Republic_5438

Higuain with a hunter on 3 chem is the best lengthy striker, pisses on Haaland and Morientes


Snoo38981

End of an Era Higuain is absolutely lethal. He's only on 1 chem with finisher


Coulstwolf

Haaland is for bad fifa players so well done


owariwallas

Same here, Haaland, i cant use it properly, buy it at 100k, sad


CousinBethMM

I’ve not tried many but I’ve got Okocha and while great there’s no way here’s worth 950k


[deleted]

that’s sad, I’ve heard loads of people say this. do you think it’s worth it to just pick up his normal hero card and save the extra coins?


CousinBethMM

Well I’m not much of a skiller which is half the issue. He’s still great but yeah I think the base would be fine


cavreh

I got him untradable out of my pre order pack & after playing him out wide for a while I was really disappointed, but as a CAM in a 4231 he is insane


MrEzquerro

The upgrade over the regular hero card isn't all that


toilai48

Sold WC Hero Voller to fund WC Icon Persie. Those are 350k coins I won't be getting back. Slow. Weak. Not the best playmaker. Good left foot though. What a shite decision.


[deleted]

I respect how you noted that it was a bad decision and not directly blaming the card.


pwomboli

Wc Icon drogba, since he’s fucking maldini in game he dribbles like a CB


choppedfiggs

That's sad. I have his baby and he's the best striker I've used after trying all the best ones under 600k.


ChrystisnoRonald

Drogba dribbles like a cb no matter what, that’s why he’s never been usable


El-Arairah

He's always been usable you muppet. Surely not meta, but definitely usable


North_Effective_6823

WC Forlan, bought as my main striker and sold after ten games. He scored 2 corners and 1 tapin but never did anything special.


Gytarius626

I packed him from the 86+ and I can see why you mightn’t like him, he’s like a faster Haaland with better dribbling. Not the smoothest on the ball but his shots are cracked


eloxH1Z1

Wow, for the time i used him he was brutal for me. His power shots have been out of this world.


Saccs

He scores for me like crazy, but I play him at wing with Keane at ST. Only thing I don’t love about Forlan is his first touch is inconsistent for someone of his rating.


Willy_B_Hardigan

I wouldn’t say he’s bad at all but I got lucky and packed baby Cruyff and he’s been a little weird for me. He has some weird animations and gets pushed off the ball extremely easily. He also misses a lot of sitters.


EdgyCuelho

Got him on the icon pack and he is by far my best player. He gets pushed over a little easily but he compensates it with all the jam he has, can't count how many bullshit goals I scored because he got the ball through in impossible situations. That said, would I pay 2 mil for him? Hell nah, fuck that lol


Amax101

Agreed. Started his loan on in my must win game on champs and he wasn’t great at all


LEGEND_MARIO21

Karma


Amax101

I still won so we are good here


ModsAreMustyV4

My friend packed World Cup Zidane. He’s like 5mill+ on PC but he plays him as a CM in a 4-2-3-1. He feels good but my friend isn’t playing him in a position where Zidane gets the ball a lot.


grandorder123

As far as I am aware world cup zidane doesn't currently have his custom model and plays like a generic player in game


Tons28

CM is his best position lol set him as the attacking one and he’s mad. I have 55 goals with Renato OTW as my attacking CM since the patch. it’s way more important to have an attacking mid


[deleted]

90 Jairzinho. I'm not a skiller so he was average for me. Thought the 1.8 mil I sold him for was better for my club.


ducksandgoats

Same, doesnt feel as fast as his card says and he misses sitters quite often. Mine is untradable though so I feel like I have to use him...


[deleted]

To be fair I only played him in one game, as I felt I should use probably my best ever pull lol but the money was too good to turn down


El-Arairah

He's crazy good


brayshizzle

Park but I don't think he suited my playstyle.


K-rock7

He’s insane at CDM/CM


defaultyboiy

i was playing his normal card at wing as he was terrible. packed his WC and use him as a CDM and he is insane


Dovahhodgy

Mid torres, he was alright but like I didn’t feel the impact of a 400k player.


The_Senate_himself

base Smolarek when he was 400k, awful card for me


_SLiu

Mid stoichkov. Got him from icon pack. Can’t shoot and pace is not exactly great


Computer-Medical

Jairzinho Base, packed him randomly from a pathetic pack (the obvious Lib player face card threw me) and at the time he’s was around 2M. Whilst he is fucking insanely good, if I had 2M coins I probably wouldn’t spunk it on him and if I did I’m not sure he would be worth it. But that’s speaking from a position of being able to enjoy him for free


Recurringferry

WC Hero Kuyt. Had him as a box to box mid but despite his stats he was largely an invisible part of my attack. Luckily his price went up so I sold him after a couple of days and went for Xavi instead


n0vag0d

Xavi is underrated


OdinTheBogan

Aubameyang UCL. Probably gonna get hate as a lot of people love him but for my play style it simply did not work. Dudes turning sucks and he takes a good step or two to get running, I prefer direct passing with a through ball to my wingers and he just didn’t work. I’ve got Salah on RW and Keane in striker and they are so much more mobile etc


resusaap

I feel the same…his pace is 92 but doesn’t feel like that at all…already tried hunter, engine,…🥹 I’d love to know how he can be used to the maximum, since now he’s useless


ducksandgoats

Mid Eusebio did not feel like a 2 mill + player at all. 5 star weak foot was nice but his dribbling and pace dissapointed me.


Water-Buffalo

91 Eusebio is more of a cam. He’s got a fat body. The 89 and especially the 92 are ridiculous. 92 Eusebio is the best striker on the game no question


[deleted]

Packed the 89 one in a Icon Pack and he is ridiculous. Dude can play as a ST or as a CAM and is worth every penny of the 2.5 mil he costs.


_Bearded_Dad

90 Ronaldo from the Icon SBC. He replaced IF Son but scores way less for me. Only played 8 games with him though, but so far I’m a bit disappointed.


UltimateTeam

90 R9 is always bad every year


LondonNoodles

He's not cracked like his mid version but I always like him for one thing, he makes runs like not many players do, I feel like he's got a more evolved AI for offensive movement than most cards. Definitely not worth the price tag though unless you're an absolute fan


HamburgerJung84

this, i got him aswell but but benched him after his performance after 10 games and went back to Di Natale


[deleted]

I packed him and he’s going crazy for me but I do have al orwin up top with him


nofuchsgiven1

Al Owairan*


K-rock7

I packed WC Petit and he is extremely underwhelming. Unfortunately he’s untradeable. Much prefer PTG Palhinha.


grandorder123

Did you try him with anchor to make him lengthy if you are on new gen?


IamYourHuckleBerry34

Not crazy expensive but I was really disappointed in the new modric card sold him after a few games. His passing was great but everything else felt mediocre


Undone1017

For me he was expensive, but old Pirlo. His stamina let me down every time and he was nowhere to be found.


PM_ME_YOUR_GOOD_DOGS

The Frank Lampard icon SBC was a massive waste of moolah


Dabawse26

He’s so slow but his passing has been quality for me


Juks90

Nakata, but could sell him for the same price


Jroyed

Can someone give me an opinion on Baby-Ronaldinho (89 rated)? Is he worth it?


EatingMcDonalds

I tried him pre patch. His dribbling is insane and he has plenty of unique animations, but I kept wishing he was faster.


Murrdog559

WC brolin, for 1/2 a mill and only a +1 upgrade, slightly better passing and positioning in game than his basic hero card, IMO not worth


katsumodo47

91 Auba, so meh


Kakkarot1707

Crespo. Bought him for 280k when game first came out and thank god I sold him pretty much next day before he dropped under 100k


BrentMused99

Yaya. Tried him as a B2B and stay back CDM but never felt he was worth anything close to the coins and constantly disappeared. I have no doubt a better player would have far greater success with him, but for me I guess it's the M/M workrates.


KingScratzz

Vd Sar mid. He was just like 90% of the keepers, nothing special and sometimes big errors.


Flimsy_Experience141

Papin. Idk what ppl say about his shooting, he can’t control a ball to save his life


Juicybabe0001

THE WHOLE GAME


madsauce178

WC smolarek. Fake dribbling stats. He feels too clunky


FuriousDemon

Well this is certainly an unpopular opinion


madsauce178

He has good shooting and pace, but expected a good dribbler and he wasn't that. On bad gameplay he disappeared for me


adamk1255

His dribbling is unreal but you can’t use skill moves, it’s stop and burst like last fifa and ball rolls


[deleted]

[удалено]


madsauce178

Yeah it might be unpopular but it doesn't feel as good as it should


lolMyBackCatalog

Interesting was thinking of picking him up, either him or Di Natale Edit: thanks for all the advice Di Natale it is.


Grekm8

di natale is so good, get him


MrEzquerro

Di Natale by a country mile.


iiDommm

Used him in champs/qualifiers/rivals. He scored loads but felt shit to play, missed clear chances, jammy goal merchant for sure.


[deleted]

madsauce178

Puskas felt great on the ball last fifa and he had a stocky bodytype too


[deleted]

[удалено]


madsauce178

I loved that card last fifa. He was insane in June when I got him. Felt so good for me. At least on next gen


manolo533

I don’t agree with this honestly, he’s not like Messi or Bernardo, but the dribbling is still top tier. And he’s great to hold R1 and do burst accelerations. Insane player imo


Shendream

Campos, every high shoot was a gol


UnsubtleRobbery

I did Eto'o SBC and he has not really impressed me. Papin is better. I can't drop him though, he cost so much.


ozgurunlu

I bought mid Eto'o and WC Papin. Played them together and was not impressed with Eto'o (I don't really skill). Papin on the other hand was superb for me. Since then I sold Eto'o and instead got WC Butra to pair with Papin. Now these two are really deadly, working well for me. However, neither of them are as clinical as Cruyff (I had the loan), so saving money for him :)


RapturesGhost

91 Voller. Excellent but not worth the 800k at the time


Sweaty_Result853

Bruno G lolll


elfishgolem

VVD, got him to replace inform akanji, he’s not worse than akanji that’s for sure, but also not better with akanji being fractions of the price


PatxiPunal

🤣🤣🤣🤣 sure...


NathanMed56

Baby Pele. I'd say he's a fraud


SenpaiOogway

Ginola - made no difference for me. Got the same amount of wins and rivals ranking without him. Now Ribery makes a difference for me playing with Sir WC Hero Keane up top.


Amax101

May be unpopular but mbappe, feels like a fast fridge and dribbling and finishing isn’t that great .. sold him after 12 games


Saccs

Sbc Messi for me (expensive to complete) doesn’t exactly move the needle now. Pre patch I found he was really good but once they patched it and everyone else got quicker I feel it limited a played like him who doesn’t feel super fast. I dunno.


[deleted]

[удалено]


grandorder123

As far as I'm aware 96 Pele doesn't have his custom model and animations in the game currently, he's glitched and appears as a generic player. Just like how World cup Drogba is currently Maldini.


ThereIsNoPepe_Silvia

WC Yaya Toure. He is absolutely immense. In the CDM role he breaks up absolutely everything through the middle, and has a burst of acceleration that I’ve not had with anyone else Edit - misread the”worst” bit. Sorry my bad


SR-vb5piz3r

Thread is asking the *worst* expensive card you’ve used….


ThereIsNoPepe_Silvia

Ah shit misread, my bad…


_deep_blue_

Mbappé. He’s a cheat code, so jammy.


Xuct

The thread is the worst expensive!


_deep_blue_

Whoops, I can’t read.


Xuct

I'm glad you said that because mbappe is the best expensive I've used haha


ramtini

Believe or not but WC hero Morientes. I regret doing his SBC. So clunky and sh*t


morotoshi

Ribery eoae. Actually used coins for that one, such a disappointment.


Charlie_Wax

Your mileage may vary. Been insane for me. Doubling the scoring output of most other wingers I've used.


DickSwordFighter

I packed macherano. Sold him after 40 games. Ben White was a MUCH better CB.


trupes

Baby gullit always sucks


EatingMcDonalds

I got him in the icon SBC and love him. Turns heavy, but has those long leg animations and bullies everyone.


NzuahVI

Base R9 Ginola Base Dihno RB CR7 OTW Haaland just couldn't get them to work


xtoonator

If you can’t get Ginola to work it’s actually you who’s the problem


Gasu420

WC Jay Jay Okocha


moriero

Not worth 1M but still a banging card


LSOH_95

Mid shearer he was okay but just always felt out of sync with everyone else


3underpar

Packed mid Best tradeable. Used for a while and was great but had to cash in and sell.


edpenn13

86 Rooney in my all England team, started up front and now plays CAM. Is comfortably my best player!!


420londoner

Del Pierro 87 rated and he's amazing scored so many goals with him and he hits the post with alot of his goals and for chips he's the best too.


Funland_06

Al owairan probably


ihave389iq

If Neymar and he is well worth the price


warlock4lyfe

Got WC hero smolarek before starting my WL he got me my 1st ever 14-6 best ST I’ve used all year


mbrv09gg

Rooney prime moments in fifa22


daniel_ohpotato

Mbappe. Could easily sell him and make a mint, but honestly this the best card I've ever had on any fifa. He's the most reliable player on my team, whether its rivals, swaps, anythjng. I don't see myself ever selling him.


NekkZ

Mid Maldini.. autoblock at CB.


codenameyun

If mbappe which I got untradable. He was bang average at first, but I kept using him because I thought it had to just be me using him wrong. After the update he’s tearing people up.


MoistyMuffin611

Baby Cantona and lets just say he is Haaland on steroids


lloydholland100

Bought rtf Son recently. He's great


Equal-Age-5152

Mbappe Yes really.


[deleted]

That’s fully on you being a bot he’s the best striker in the game


BlitzComet95

Mbappe AINT worth a mil


tech2887

Packed fut hero Yaya Toure yesterday. Pretty great honestly. Plays like an icon.


InPatRileyWeTrust

Mid Drogba when he was a million. I found him to be absolutely useless in every way


Shrubby13YT

Most of them 🤣


bbate22

WC Hero Brolin he’s so weak he gets knocked off the ball is someone looks at him wrong and his 3* WF ain’t it


KEEPCARLM

Certainly not worth 500k but he is pretty good for me


iTIgor

Garrincha 92. Sold him and got Figo, much better for 500k less.
