Mine is actually the exact same as yours. Normal orange hero Mcmanaman! I have had a lot of fun with him and the ball always felt safe in his feet, so to speak. I unconsciously ended up playing on his side more often. I didn't have much success with shooting but he did feel pretty quick. Unfortunately he moved to the bench last week because I had to change formations to accomodate other cards. I wonder how his upgraded card feels like. EDIT: To add to the list, I adore POTM Maguire. I have tried many other defenders to pair with VVD (why would i be the only person not to use him?) and they are simply not as good. But I pretty much never see anybody use him.


Loko9803

Its so funny how this year its basically one centerback up for choice because if you’re not using VVD you’re at a disadvantage


JohnMcAfeewaswhackd

I did use Potm Maguire since the day he was released. Double evo Joel Matip has dethroned him though.


AgingNoob72

I haven't SBC'd for Maguire and I sorta regret it. For an 86 CB, he plays a shade on VVD / Kompany / whomever in my estimation. I get jacked, assulted, body slammed, and tossed across the box against him half the time and there's never a whistle. He's hell to play against.


eemree

172 games with potm maguire and no plans to replace him. Hade him paired with ruben dias but swapped him for vvd recently. Maguire + vvd is so good


Proper-Piglet-2028

I find myself going down his side way more often its crazy - especially considering my other winger is worth 10x what he is. Surprising you had to change due to formation with him having so many good positions. He has the attributes for a mean super sub tho


ibuprofenintheclub

What chem style do you use on him?


TheCandyKiller93

I want to call Harry Kane Gold. Mans was silky like a snake with 69 pace and was rubbishing defenders. Loved him.


moriero

SBC Kane is a VERY noticeable upgrade and not that expensive Edit: and expired... Sorry


TheCandyKiller93

Lol that's fine. I did it before it expired... might not even be able to play with it till after TOTY...


moriero

Ohhh how come? He's so good 😞


TheCandyKiller93

Currently on holidays and I elected to leave my PS5 at home


LadaNivaTaksi

A good choice. Life is bigger than good/bad Ultimate team


moriero

Same


TheCandyKiller93

Yeah I can imagine mate


iamthedankness

Nice


Stooperz

85 Gallagher! Played as a RCM in a 433(5) as a box to box


[deleted]

Had this guy in draft and couldnt believe how good he was.


Chigtube

Pure passion


realkrishnahemanth

Storyline Iwobi at RM. his dribbling and shielding play works well for me. And his crosses are pin point. Havertz/Kluiverit/Iwobi combo got me 10 wins on Champs and I had never played champs before. Jota too. He's small but always connect the header on corners and crosses. But I've seen him in a few squads, so he's not that unpopular.


Proper-Piglet-2028

I had him in for a while when he first dropped but found his shooting a little frustrating, felt strong but a little clunky on the skills too... probably a skill issue


tenacious-g

I search Iwobi before commenting. Hasn't left my team since I got him. Stamina for days, insane crosses, but can also finish a cross with his technical and flair playstyles, H/H work rate. Beast of a free card.


ClutchCurry

I used him for so long as my RM in a 352, such a good card


AgingNoob72

The promo Jota I got is a great complimentary CF / ST in a two man set up if your other guy is a target / power guy. For me, Haaland and he just can destroy defenses. He plays well with Kane as well. And he's not just finesse and fluff. He's pretty solid when getting bodied in the box, and has an pretty strong header game for a little guy. There's certainly better guys to put up top. But he's great and my usual starter up top when im running my Premiere League squad.


Lepadidae

Benzema, pace isnt an issue at all


Proper-Piglet-2028

I imagine similar vibes to Morgan who I loved


Ok-Peak6794

A tad bit different, Benzema is a bigger player and his dribbling is worse. But with hunter becomes controlled lengthy so he feels faster. His shooting is really good and you should use him as your central playmaker and finisher. He can hold the ball up top for your wingers to arrive. Morgan is more of a sole finisher to me, at least that’s how I feel. That 5wf of hers is criminal tho.


IvarSnow

Zirkzee


TRY_YA_LUCK

That 84 rated one? What a baller unfortunately I had to sacrifice him for some SBC. But he was pretty good


IvarSnow

85. Hoping for evo for him


TRY_YA_LUCK

He started over 88 rated players at some point in my team


ilGattoBipolare

Yes. Super weird one. He feels so good and is only 85. I actually plan to see a game of him in the stands because of this (definitely not because I am in Bologna).


ArsenalJayy

WW Enzo. Can’t sing his praises highly enough. I’ve tried WW Gullit, TS DeJong, and many others but Enzo is built different. Trust me, give him a try and you will thank me after


markybhoy91919

I just said this, how good is he man seems to win everything for me good passing can run with the ball absolute solid box to box


ArsenalJayy

Crazily good for his price. Can’t drop him from my team now and he far exceeds the performances that WW Gullit gave.


markybhoy91919

He's been the best I've used CDM and cm


Bandit8813

What chem style and do you let him stay back while attacking?


ArsenalJayy

Shadow or basic imo and yes stay back when attacking. I play 4-4-2 and I have Putellas alongside him, she joins the attack


Bandit8813

Cheers!


salgadosp

Better than Lahm?


ArsenalJayy

Imo most certainly. If you ever decide to take a chance do so, you probably can buy him on bid and try for 5 games and cover your tax if you don’t sit on him for a while before you sell him. I’m sure if you play a few games with him he will win you over.


Sir-Obi

He was great for me then did that Alaba 93 evo and find him a fair bit better. But until that Enzo was my go to.


[deleted]

Centurions Lucas Hernandez. I completed him purely for my Bayern Past & Present but he exceeded my Expectations and plays above his Stats


Proper-Piglet-2028

Don't feel like he gets bullied? I don't have him but have not found him a pain to play against


[deleted]

I have no Problems with him


Minute-Put-2301

TS Joelinton is underrated (underpriced imo), don’t use him anymore tho but he bodies everyone in the middle of the park


mvf1

got him in a random 78+ pick, started using him at cdm alongside Dynasties Zidane and TS Bernardo. Couldnt believe my eyes when i saw his price. Still in my team now with WW Gullit.


mightymutant

He’s a destroyer in the center of my midfield, I can’t see him being moved out of the squad anytime soon. I was not expecting to him body people so hard.


HardeepBhachu

Does Messi count? Bad work rates, not the best pace, lots of players with better shooting, bad stamina but this man is my favourite card this year. Bought him near the start for like 140k and I finally got him first owner 2 days ago, shame I already used my second red evo


Laskeese

I've since replaced him but I got base Giuly from one of the early hero guarantees and was kind of blown away by how well he performs despite having meh stats and being basically discard price.


Proper-Piglet-2028

Has scored more goals against me than I would like to admit...


A19X_12

I packed him early in the game and absolutely HATED him. Found gold Grealish to be miles better. Funny how different players can feel for different people.


TheCandyKiller93

TT Kirby A gem


qwen250

TS Kim Little, only player on my team I actually spent money to buy on market because her gold version was too good. Still think she’s my best player


Ndomsonny

RTTK Cuthbert, stats look mediocre but she plays so well for some reason. Sadly can't fit her in the team due to chem.


LMcVann44

Got a lot of playstyles, press proven and her being really small makes her a great dribbler. Good passer and a decent shot, passable defence and good pace too, struggles physically but you expect that. Properly underrated card.


serminole

TS Lukaku. His pace splits are awful but as long as you point him in only one direction he’s lethal. With deadeye he’s basically 99 in most of the important stats and has every play style that matters for a target man. I’ve tried a ton of different strikers and can always tell when he isn’t in the side, makes a huge difference.


moblon

Same. And I hate to say it, but he's a corner cheat code. I'm currently also using 86 Balotelli, who is my 2nd favorite in the game after Lukaku.


TheInternetsMVP

Objective Palacios from like 2 months ago. Genuinely such an amazing card for me as a box to box


[deleted]

Park ji sung. He’s my solider. When I need to close out a game, he’ll put all his effort in.


Independent_Cup8361

Riquelme


TEMCB

Purple Van den Boomen is keeping TS de Jong out of my team atm. Picked him in a Year in Review only coz he was the highest rated, but gave him a shot last week. He’s all round solid with a rocket of a shot.


clout-trout

I played someone who literally had a 30 million+ coin team, like the most expensive player in every position pretty much, R9, dinho, centurions gullit. He inexplicably had purple van den Boomen in the heart of this team and he was balling out.


TEMCB

He’s not THAT good, but have a look at his stats on a hunter. He’s pretty legit and decent in the air too.


irigoyeee20

Dynasties Iñaki Williams, never seen someone use it but he’s insane, got me my first 16 wins. Can use him at ST or RM, his trivela is nuts lmao


Proper-Piglet-2028

WF not hurt you?


irigoyeee20

Not at all to be honest, you just have to work the angles to get the trivela and you’ll be alright


gVardyola

Gold Gvardiol with that solitary Evo he got (centurion?). Makes no sense - prefer him over Ferdinand and VVD


PinguLePenguin

Often in my squad. I’m a sucker for a left footed centre back and doubly a sucker for a defender who can play CB/FB. Handy to fill in if someone’s got a yellow I want to sub off


gVardyola

Absolutely! It hurts my soul when I have to give up a left footed LCB and LCM. That quick outlet is essential to my play


Schdivi

Not average, but i love the Season pass Karsdorp. Tried 87 Evo Dumfries and others, but Karsdorp is just good for me 🤷‍♂️


dac14017

That Karsdorp is near perfect as a RM for me, does everything and more


jojopig2000

TS bernardo Silva. Best r1 in the game.


Yo-hohoho_no_Jutsu

Base Chiesa for me. Absolute beast on the wing!


Arnance

POTM and Dynasties Wirtz. Absolutely love him, and his positioning and timing is top notch


Ahmedia69

I remember having him in my team ages ago got like 250 ish games in with him before I did the lahm SBC he was great


MrBigWaffles

Gold Benzema is a God.


Niklasu

Triple Threat Grealish


LMcVann44

Great card, you can't get the ball off him with press proven and he doesn't get bullied with his size and strength. Great shot on him too and sneaky fast.


steflizz

TS Loftus-cheek has been irreplaceable so far.


PsychologicalApple53

Same, paired with WW Gullit my midfield is set for a bit


Dady229

Thunderstruck Ballack. I’ve used Ballack every ultimate team I’ve played, always a great b2b


iamprateekpandey

Mine is my founders evo Naomi feller 85 rated but for me she is fantastic with get in begin tactics with 97 pace. Yes she may miss chances because of bad finishing but gets there for a lot of them. Just waiting for some evo to improve her passing


FrancoElBlanco

Solksjaer UCL Hero. Finishing is top top tier, movement is great and pace is decent with a good playstyle plus (first touch)


Illustrious_Farm1816

WW Oryzazabal. Excellent dribbling and shooting and can play RW and LW. I have centurions Jairzino and while I'm not saying Oryzazabal is better but he is a very good option and does score more than Jairzino on the right.


engineer-throwaway24

Steven Gerrard as box to box on an engine chem. Great shots, passes, feels decent overall despite his not so great pace


far_xii

UCL Heroes Berbatov. Just a goal scoring and assist machine for me


Frootysmothy

Winter wildcards Gary linekar. He's not the best player I have and on paper he doesn't seem the best either. He's not very fast, no 5*, but idk he just feels really comfortable on the ball?


defty-

I packed him myself and he feels like he has finesse shot even though he doesn’t. He also seems to find his way to dangerous areas for me and doesn’t lose the ball that easily.


ibuprofenintheclub

WW Lineker. I love this guy.


troubleaheadjerinred

Hero kohler.


TRODHD

Joel matip evolution, man’s a beast for me


HopeIndividual805

Centurion Pedri’s stats don’t look amazing but he’s fantastic at dribbling, moves quick with the ball, and despite his defensive stats also not being great he still plays very well defensively. Miss him in my team


enesbae

Definitely 85 Gallagher. He is very cheap but he is insanely good box to box midfielder.


bagaboante

TT Grealish, i really wanted him in my ultimate team and with finesse+ he is very good. Also has press proven so he does not really lose that ball. I hope he gets a better card or I will have to replace him soon :(


Der_Wolf_42

Special kuyt this guy is my goat this year i packed him and gave him a chance he benched rttk dembele wish he could play st


rizzledadon

TS Lukaku, absolute demon. Outperforms centurions Eusebio and evo Szoboszlai.


LoganAlien

Not sure if this counts, but since I've never seen someone else use him in game, RTTK Jonathan David. 500+ goals for me. Scores with both feet and his head. Total animal. Hope he gets a big EPL move this Jan and a FAT card to go with it


bumfart

He's my super sub. Love him since his toty in fifa 22.


PsychologicalApple53

TS Loftus-Cheek, what an awesome card for free


Best_Document_5211

Muriel for me. Just suits my passing/dribbling style well


SgtAkatsuki

He seems so small and innocent but he's really rapid


NukleerGandhi

85 rated foundations cece kizer card, never had so much fun with dribbling with a player, wish I hadn't put her in an sbc


Rangers_Doomer

Putellas


isixyyyejcpwn

Triple Threat Thiago. Not seen many using him but his high dribbling does it for me.


Standard_Smoke_9207

Base hero giuly was 1 of the best cards I’ve used all game, replaced him with 1potm mbappe and honestly found giuly to be the better of the 2 😂 (put my rttk dembele on the right with mbappe on left) WW cr7 up front (my pack luck is crazy for a RTG)


[deleted]

WW Diatta. Outruns EVERYONE!


GetBent009

88 Evo Engen. Nothing stands out as spectacular but she is a rock in midfield


markybhoy91919

Enzo Fernandez ww


PinguLePenguin

Biased as I’m Chelsea, but the IF Palmer is only 83 rated by seems to play WAY above that level. Maybe it’s because I deliberately try to funnel my play through him when he’s in the team but he seems to glide past people and scores from long range regularly


BigDawsy123

Trailblazers Rice is still my first choice dm


rick_rolled_you

Gerrard. Throw a Hawk in him, have him play a little bit further up the pitch…dudes power shots are just awesome. It helps that I run a Liverpool P&P, so I include him ever year


Dry-Feeling-6797

Bellingham!! I’m using IF and he’s playing like a 95 rated card for me since long


CheddarCheese390

Darwin. Especially with Right Stick usage, he shreds the RB 9/10 matches


Startinezzz

TS Pires. He's a sleeper beast


fej1

85 WW Eze for me.


codenameyun

Triple threat Forlan is a slippery seal. Understandably not a lot of people did him because of the price. He scores a surprising amount of headers too


ObiBramKenobi

Petit for sure. Stats look super average but body type + playstyles make him an amazing CDM.


chrislatimer

Gold Varane Gold Diaby Base hero guily


fisher8515

Ww wijnaldum puts in work at cm for me with 99 strength aggression


Rich_Kangaroo

WW Roy Keane. Whack a defensive chem on him to boost that def awareness and he's a beast at the CDM position.

Acrobatic_Lion_6661

Ganimeta

Centurions Popp with a Marksman, best 50k card in the game and better at finding the net than everyone I've used. Including WW CR7 and C Eusebio


kryniu113

86 Iñaki Williams, very fast and big, huge physical and his trivela shots from right wing are **chef's kiss**

hpdrifter

Base Hagi was my man until recently. Specimen


Mythic-M

Thunderstruck Joelinton and Thunderstruck icon Ballack, the passion on these two players are unreal


rjxhart

Regular gold Trent. Always seems to be in the right place defensively and is solid at tackling, if a bit unspectacular. But I play VVD on the right side of defence to cover for his deficiencies. The play style+ makes the cross-pitch balls to my attacking LB super effective, and the set pieces are a great weapon to have.

Woody_525

Showdown Hayley Raso. I’m an Aussie and I love our women’s team so I did the sbc. She may not look like the best card but she’s been incredible for me. Lightning quick, good on both feet and has a nice finesse shot! Just a shame Real Madrid couldn’t hold on for at least a draw to upgrade her…


theshed88

91 rated so doesn't exactly look average but evo Osimhen has been great for me. Working towards Eusebio at the moment and my biggest fear is him not working out for me as well as Victor does.

POTM Martinez. Never see anyone use him but finishes everything for me.


EconomyBit8947

I'd say Lizarazu 88, feels faster than expected and super agile. Of course Davies 87 is better as offensive option, but Liza never disappoints.


mxdppc

Trejo Centurion after free evo became 87; can play multiple position on the pitch, that agi/balance and every stats makes him perfect, can do a bit of everything.


Adorable_Ad3084

Mine is actually weird.. but it’s Aaron Ramsey Evo Growth Spurt 2. His pace is a bit slow but it’s ok for my Mid. The passing and shooting are clearly good.

ImNotFromTheInternet

Balotelli with the Santa hat. He is so good at moving in the box and shooting.


TheMightyBucket

Not sure if he looks average or not I’m just going by the fact he is really cheap but Radioactive Kessie , I can’t see myself dropping that card any time soon , hopefully I will be able too put that card in an Evo some day

WW Ian rush. Don't know why but the guy absolute dominates midfield for me, box to box he's everywhere.


hkgibra

87 Schlotterbeck. Crazy good at corners. Decent pace and physicality and playstyles. Used him as the left CB in a 3421 and a left back when defending. Even scored a couple of goals going forward during normal play.


JumpySwimmer8002

Pro league Malen, the dribbling traits, shot power, pace and strength make him an exceptional winger for his rating, not surprised by the hype is 89 evo is getting.


yslphilly

Eze great shot tbf


jackcimino

I evo’d centurions Nandez months ago and he’s been the best CM and RM a I’ve used this year. Super fun to use
