Reus having the price of 415K right now is funny when FUT 23 Coins you consider it’s a +1 overall from his 88 overall gold card. You’re only getting a +1 pace, +1 shooting, +2 passing, +1 dribbling, +1 defense and +2 physical, so this ends up falling in line with Varane on an even more absurd scale. His standard price is about 85K, so no, the upgrades here are not worth an extra 300K in coins.
However, I do think Reus is good and also underused so far this year. He’s another one of those players who is overlooked because his pace is not insane, but I have made a killing this year exploiting those sorts of mindsets. Reus is like Lewandowski or Kane in that you don’t pass on someone like this because the pace is not incredible. Reus is so well rounded as an attacking player, and his pace is not bad or anything, it’s just not crazy. And if you want some more pace, chem him up and you’re good to go.
So pass on this card for now, but definitely look into Reus overall.
Wan-Bissaka gets called out because it’s a Ones To Watch upgrade. He has great pace, and he’s slowly starting to get that physical rating up a bit. He is not yet in the territory of Kyle Walker or Cancelo for most-used EPL right backs, but he’s inching up the list now. I would love to use this card, but I can’t justify it over the cheaper standard Walker gold card quite yet. I do hope the price on this card drops from the 65K or so it’s at right now because I would love to get in on the action though because I love using “second-tier” players from the big leagues for whatever reason.
Well, EA warned us a Messi Player of the Month SBC was coming and it would be a 96 overall, and yet, it still takes a little bit of time to come to terms with it. In relation to the Team of the Group Stage card, this one is slightly worse, but it’s not in any way that truly matters. His strength and stamina are still the only areas where either card is “weak” and has room for growth. The SBC itself is what matters here because it puts into context what is going on buy FIFA 23 Coins with the marketplace and Messi’s other cards during these next 30 days while this SBC is active.
