FIFA 20 review: FUT Birthday Eden Hazard – a million for a winger?

Among the FUT Birthday cards there are a lot of interesting options – for example, Antoine Griezmann. No less interesting is Eden Hazard, who has excellent stats. The ODDS portal understands why you should not pay attention to it.

General Features of Eden Hazard in FIFA 20:

• rating – 9.5 / 10;
• speed – 9.5 / 10;
• pass – 9/10;
• hit – 9/10;
• dribbling – 10/10.

There are tons of versions of Eden Azar on the market. Here both simple cards, and OTW, and even for 1.6 million, you can make an assembly with a rating of 95 and permanently close the position of the leftmost. But at FUT Birthday, Azar was released as a striker.

Of course, the fast and nimble Belgian immediately aroused serious interest, and the five stars on the skills looked quite tempting. Well, the parameters of the blow also promise glory, honor and a bunch of goals in the ill-fated “VL”. Completion (91), strike power (88), stability (92) – such ratings are inherent in the best players in FUT. I’m not talking about the fact that it can easily be used on the position of the DAC. Vision (93), short pass (93), agility (97), balance (96), dribbling (97), ball control (96) … Outrageous indicators. And if you put the “Accurate Eye”, then Hazard threatens to become a deadly machine. But…

In-game sensations

In attack

Perhaps we should start with the fact that Raoul was always my idol. After considerable suffering, it’s naive to engage in donation, his card with a rating of 93 was purchased. By the way, I had 88 and 92. And after the uneven WL, I decided to change something in the composition and take Azar instead of Raul, the benefit of Griezmann and Guardiola provided the necessary links.

At first, Azar was located on the DAC position according to the 4-2-3-1 scheme, and Antoine Griezmann acted on the tip. What did I get? Nothing at all. The Belgian flew away from the defenders, like from a stone wall, constantly fell through positionally, quickly ran out of breath with complex feints and could not give up an exact transfer of two meters to his legs.

It is clear that when you buy a player for that kind of money, you expect him to become the first violin in the team. If this does not happen, the search for reasons begins. I dismissed the connection immediately, since for the most part I play on five sticks (28-30 m / s). The movement of their own hands was also not a problem, because before that, Griezmann, Ribery, Mkhitaryan, Gomez played in the positions of the DACs …

As a last chance, it was decided to transfer him to the position of the attacker, spending 10 thousand on the “Hunter”, so that there would be no complaints at all. It began to play easier, but only due to the fact that two of my Frenchmen regularly brought Eden to the operational space. He scored a couple of goals, lubricated more than a dozen outs of one on one. At the same time, I tried to beat the goalkeeper with various feints, and beat the bottom, and the exact blow, and powerful …

After that, Hazard was expelled from the club with shame. Raul returned to the place of the attacker, and everything was fine. Goes and goals, and a qualitative choice of position, and completion at the level. By the way, I took the legend of Real Madrid with a rating of 92. Oddly enough, it looks much better than the one in the moment.

In defense

The DAC’s position in FIFA suggests that the player must practice defense. My troika has been relieved of such duties, but in an alien half of the field, she is trying to compress when the ball is lost. How did Hazard behave? In the worst way! The impression was that the Belgian was simply running away from contact. For 10+ matches, not a single selection, not a single interception, not a single combat was won.

When you forcefully throw him into the fight, with an easy movement of the body, the opponent pushed him away and continued to move forward unhindered.

Influence

There can be no talk of any influence. Buying Azar is the second biggest mistake in FIFA 20 on my part. The biggest is Gattuso “in the moment” for exchange players. This is such a mediocre player who after eight matches was sent to the assembly of Marco Asensio.

But back to Azar. The player is really good. The stats are not drawn, but with the mechanics of FIFA 20 it is completely useless. A couple of feints, and the Belgian is already unable to make a third, give a high-quality transmission or complete the moment.

Market value

Now Azara can be bought for 990 thousand coins. In my opinion, an absolutely useless waste of money. So many coins can be found in other applications, especially now, when the machine for pumping out these same coins called “Team of the season” is launched.

Total

Here, unfortunately, everything is simple to the point of banality. Eden Hazard cannot be a full-fledged striker. Putting him in the midfield center is also absolutely pointless. The only position where he will play well is the flank. And there, excuse me, there are too many options. The same Douglas Costa that we talked about last week is many times better.
