Bukayo Saka’s 3 goals and 2 assists in 4 Premier League games have kept Arsenal’s title charge rolling, with his stellar performances helping his boyhood club beat Everton, Bournemouth, Fulham, and Crystal Palace during March, including a 2 goal and 1 assist haul in the home game against Crystal Palace.
Unfortunately, while the POTM award and subsequent SBC are fully deserved, Saka already has multiple Items around the same rating as this POTM Item, so there isn’t particularly anything new or ground-breaking to write home about here. However, much like his real-life characteristics making him effective as a winger, this POTM Saka has a lot of traits that’re perfect for FUT:
- 94 Acceleration and 89 Sprint Speed with his Explosive AcceleRATE archetype will make Saka feel rapid on and off the ball.
- Saka will be insane at dribbling as all of his Dribbling stats are at a minimum of 88, with only his 85 Composure being below that amount.
- 88 Vision, 90 Crossing, and 87 Short Passing make him a more than capable playmaker, be it out wide or as a CAM.
- The 4-star Skill Moves and Weak Foot upgrades are welcome (and are the minimum requirement at this stage of the game) and the High/Medium Work Rates give him a perfect Attribute setup for an attacking player.
Where this POTM Saka fails is, unsurprisingly, with his physical capabilities, but I don’t think anyone will be concerned with that at all.
Which Chemistry Style should you use on POTM Bukayo Saka?
Seeing as POTM Saka already comes with high-rated Pace and Dribbling stats, I’d personally go for a Deadeye Chemistry Style, mostly to boost up his Finishing from 87 to 95, and to take his Shot Power from 82 to 97. If you want him purely as a winger, you can always go for an Engine instead to maximise his Pace down the left or right flank.
Premier League POTM Bukayo Saka: Complete or Yeet?
As this POTM SBC costs around 125k coins to complete, and Saka’s World Cup Phenoms Item is roughly the same in terms of stats and can be bought for under 80k, it doesn’t make much sense to complete this SBC unless you’re an Arsenal fan and/or have a First-Owner club, or if you have a lot of fodder in your club from all the FUT Birthday packs you can use to slowly craft him over time. So, personally, I’d say yeet.
