There are very few people who have graced the game of football who command the presence that this man does, considered both a King in Manchester United, one of the most famous and impactful icons of the Red Devils, Eric Cantona has his FUT Birthday Icon SBC available in FIFA Ultimate Team now!
The French Icon’s SBC is quite expensive, coming in at a price of 292.2K coins and needs 7 segments to unlock the card.
He has some great stats and characteristics such as:
- 88 Acceleration and 89 Sprint Speed with his Controlled AcceleRATE type will allow him to navigate the attacking third very quickly
- 92 Positioning and Finishing, 94 Shot Power, 93 Long Shots and 97 Volleys with the Outside Foot Shot and Finesse Shot Traits make him absolutely lethal at every range
- Immaculate ball distribution with 96 Vision, 91 Crossing, 92 Short Passing, 88 Long Passing and 93 Curve
- 86 Agility and Balance, 91 Reactions, 95 Ball Control, 94 Dribbling and 96 Composure with the Flair Trait will make him extremely good on the ball
- 93 Jumping and 92 Heading Accuracy with his 6’2 Height and the Power Header Trait make him absolutely excellent in the air
- 92 Stamina means he won’t need to be substituted for 80+ Minutes
- 93 Strength and 94 Aggression means it will be extremely difficult for defenders to physically push him off the ball
- 5-Star Skill Moves with his high Dribbling will allow him to use meta skills and beat defenders with ease while the 5-Star Weak Foot makes him deadly on either side of the pitch
- High/Medium workrates are perfect for an attacker
His ideal position in game would be as a second ST in a 4-4-2, 3-5-2 or a 4-2-2-2 setup. He is extremely versatile, can create chances as well as finish them and is an ideal target if crosses are flying in and this will help us fully utilise his vast skill set.
He has a similar player profile to Team of the Season Karim Benzema. They’re both complete attackers, incredibly physical while still being silky on the ball with 5-Star Skill and high dribbling stats. Their presence in the attacking third is always a scary prospect for defenders.
This card is one of the very few cards in FUT 23 that has no obvious drawbacks which just adds to how exceptional he is.
