Mariano FUT Showdown Analysis
Considering that this card is coming before La Liga TOTS, and can be upgraded to a 91 overall card, this is a big W from EA in my opinion. Outside of Karin Benzema, who doesn't possess the greatest pace in FIFA, Real Madrid lacks a great pure striker in FIFA, and for links this card is solid. Mariano doesn't have the best skills but compensates for that with a good weak-foot, great finishing stats, and superb strength and aggression for an attacker. His stats look great with a finisher chemistry style to be a straight-up solo striker or partnered alongside a skiller, which are plentiful to find in the La Liga in FIFA.
For its price, you can't go wrong with a live card that can upgrade. Madrid and Chelsea are tied on aggregate, but Madrid has been great in the Champions League this season, and are many people's favorites to win the whole thing. This can be a fun card to use in FIFA for an inexpensive price with the transfer market very low at the moment. Overall, I think that this is a solid card, not the most "meta," but for the price and upgrade potential, definitely a good SBC to complete. A great finishing attacker for your La Liga Squad.
