Erling Haaland may have taken the headlines but the "La Aranita" from Argentina has been quietly racking up the numbers too.
Celebrating his performances helping Manchester City's start in the Premier League this season, Julián Álvarez has his Trailblazers SBC available in EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Team now!
The SBC is expensive, coming in at a price of 417.9K coins and needs 5 segments to unlock the card.
He has some amazing stats and characteristics such as:
- 86 Pace with the Mostly Explosive AcceleRATE type makes him very quick over short distances
- Great Shooting both inside and outside the box with 89 Positioning, 88 Finishing, 91 Shot Power and 87 Long Shots
- Great ball distribution with all in-game stats being 82+ and having the Incisive Pass PlayStyles
- 90 Dribbling with the Flair and Press Proven PlayStyles+ will make him extremely good on the ball
- 86 Stamina with the Relentless PlayStyles+ makes it so you don't have to substitute him all game long
- 93 Aggression will make him very good in physical duels
- 4-Star Skill Moves and Weak Foot are good for an attacker
- High/High workrates are great for central attacking midfielders
His ideal position in game would be as a central CAM in a 4-2-3-1 setup. His card is designed to flourish in midfield and while he can play as an out and out attacker, his potential would be wasted there.
He has a similar player profile to that of Trailblazers Antoine Griezmann. While Griezmann far surpasses him in stats and PlayStyles, they are both perfectly molded to play that hybrid attacker/midfielder role to perfection.
He does have a couple drawbacks such as:
- 77 Strength means he'll struggle against strong defenders
- 5'7 with 78 Heading Accuracy makes him poor in the air

Trailblazers Julian Alvarez: Complete or Yeet?
This card's price takes into account both his cracked in game presence and the vital links he offers, in the end for 417.9K you are left with an expensive but fairly valued card. If you do end up completing him, he will only be worth it if you play him in his best position, because he is not a full out attacker worth this price. My verdict: Complete if you use him as an attacking midfielder.
