Jeremy Menez

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Stats
Pace: Menez is a quick player, Fast enough to outrun defenses off the ball. He is agile, and can slip between defenders well
Shot: 77 Shot is quality on a striker, but with 81 finishing, He is a threat inside of the box. With his 4* WF, he is dangerous whenever entering the box, and you don't have to adjust your position to get the ball to his strong foot, which is a big factor in choosing a striker for me. In 32 games, he has 25 goals for me. It would be much higher if he wasn't paired with 2 additional forwards, Perisic and Berardi, who both average just under a goal a game.
Passing: 71 passing is more than enough for a striker. 76 short passing makes him a quality distributor in my 3 forward formation. He has 11 assists in 32 games.
Dribbling: 4* skill moves is not too important for me, because I am not much of a skiller, though for others, it may be an attractive stat for him, allowing his to skill through defenses. He has 85 dribbling, and 87 ball control, which allows him to slide between defenders easily. The only downside to his dribbling is 60 strength, which causes him to be beaten off of the ball frequently
Defense: Not much of a defender at all, but with his pace, he makes a fair amount of interceptions
Physical: Hes a weaker player, but he isn't the weakest. 60 strength is adequate for a striker, and he can put up a fight with wingbacks. He doesn't win too many 50/50 headers, but gets into good position to head the ball from crosses.
Overall: Jeremy Menez is one of my favorite strikers so far in FIFA 16. I prefer him to other strikers such as Remy, Diego Costa, Lacazette. There are only three strikers that I have used that are better than Jeremy IMO, and they are Aubameyang (50K) Lewandowski (90K) and Luis Suarez (450K). For 5K coins, Jeremy Menez is a great cheap striker, that I would recommend for any Serie A or French Team. 8.5/10

Probably because not many of us have the coins to try new players etc.
I have only just made a squad, so yet to be able to post a decent review.

Arjen Robben
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Stats
I'll be completely honest, Robben is EXACTLY what you expect with the amount of coins you pay for him... and more. There's something about his speed + control that just makes him hard for any defender to tackle, and his attacking positioning is pretty much top notch. On a counter attack? He'll be in the right position to play a through ball to and pop a goal home.
Surprisingly, Robben has scored quite a few headers for me too, more than Lewandowski actually.. somehow. There just something about robben that makes him special and totally worth his price.
Could be doing with better weak foot, but i guess having 4* skills slightly makes up for it.

Review:
Pace:
Ben Arfa has always had reasonable/good pace throughout Fifa, so when I noticed his pace had been downgraded this year it was disappointing. However Fifa 16 isn't about pace, and I had no issues with this stat. Ben arfa has amazing acceleration! Once he gets the ball his acceleration helps him get past, and beat players without any troubles. This can be very effective when he pushes out to the wide areas of the pitch as it allows him to get past the full-back and cross the ball into the box. It is also effective just outside the box, when Arfa receives the ball in this area, you can use this boost of speed to enter the penalty area and then further use his dribbling to manoeuvre past defenders to score. Although when it comes to long sprints he is not so good. I found it quite difficult to out pace my opponents centre backs as he would often be too slow, and would be pushed off the ball. However as his inform is a CAM he is not always that far forward on the pitch
Pace - 7.5/10
Dribbling:
Just by looking at Ben Arfa's dribbling stat you know what to expect. His inform has had a +2 dribbling upgrade and it makes a huge difference! There's not too much to be said, he has unbelievable dribbling and ball control in which are both 88. With such a high stat he is able to beat defenders in close quarters without losing the ball, which results in him scoring some great solo goals! His dribbling also helps defend the ball from opposing player trying to tackle him, the ball is so close to his feet it is very difficult for defenders to intercept the ball without giving away a foul. He is by far the best dribbler I have played with so far.
Dribbling - 9.5/10
Shooting:
Now this was the most surprising stat of all. When I initially saw his 82 shooting I didn't expect too much, although I was wrong. His shot is the best thing about this card! His in-game stats don't quite justify how good it actually is. He is an amazing finsher, so good that after playing 5 games with him, I converted him to a CF and played him in a false nine. His 80 finishing feels more like 87 and he scores most of his one on ones with his left or right, despite only having 3* weak foot. Moving on from finishing, I found his long shot to be just as good. He is normally around the outside of the box which produces some great opportunities for long shots. He always seems to hit the target and some times manages to find the net with some screamers. In 23 games he has scored 19, which is superb for a CAM/CF.
Shooting - 9/10
Passing:
When moving from a RM to a more central position passing becomes more important. His card stat shows 80, and this for me is a good representation. His passing was quite average at times, and he often failed to provide the vital final passes. I found his short passing to be much better than his long passing, although both were still quite bad. His passing was quite frustrating at times and due to this I often preferred to advance up the pitch alone rather than pass to a team-mate. Overall, his long passing of 77 and short passing of 80 are pretty accurate. Don't expect Ben Arfa to be much of a playmaker, as he isn't.
Passing - 7/10
Physical:
I was quite impressed by certain aspects of his physical performance in-game. Things like his strength, and jumping were great. He pushes off player very well when on the ball and his 75 strength seems to be a bit of an understatement. He has very good jumping too, he frequently beats players to the ball from goal kicks and especially corner, I have managed to score 2 headers so far with him. Included in the physical stat is stamina. This is what let his physical down. With 73 stamina he gets tired very easily and I am sometimes forced to sub him around the 70 minute mark. This also causes his fitness to decrease rapidly compared to other players in the team, this results in fitness cards being bought and applied which costs a lot and is annoying.
Physical - 8/10
To conclude, IF Ben Arfa is a great player. If you can get past his poor stamina and average passing, then I would strongly recommend you use him and take advantage of his insane shooting & dribbling.
Overall rating - 8.5/10

David Silva
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Bought mine for around 80,000
Stats
This guy is my go to player every year! I love using him year in and out and he definitely didn't disappoint this year. Thank god that he recovered from the LM disease. The only downfall with Silva is his 2 star weak foot which is pretty disappointing for someone with his abilities but then again he has 4 star skills so some button mashing he will eventually get his strong foot haha. This guy is a wandering, high/low workrates you will see him drift around the middle the pitch, he is always there for the 1 - 2 pass. Don't let the high/low rate put you off though cause he will run into positions and he does tend to do his defensive part if he needs too.
Pace and Dribbling; I am reviewing these two together because they work so well together. Lets be honest he ain't the quickest in terms of sprint speed but has a respectable acceleration to get him off the mark so pretty decent pace for an attacking CAM role, But his dribbling makes him feel like he has 90 pace because he can walk past players so so so easy, but then again who needs pace in FIFA 16. If you abuse the LT+RT dribbling and no touch dribbling he is a monster, and untouchable, his stats speak for them selves
Passing; He can pass a ball through the eye of the needle. This guy averages 1 assist a game for me, not a lot? I do have Ozil and Fabregas beside him so they do get their fair share of assists also. Through balls feel like FIFA 15 with Silva, they are perfect. The amount of stray passes that do happen in FIFA 16 really does frustrate me, so I have made sure that my whole midfield has 85+ passing, so I am saying that Silva passing, 9/10 will always make it to the player.
Shooting; This never changes, Silva always has around 74 shooting every year but it feels much better. I think I have scored a few nice goals with him. The shots do feel weak I must admit that but they are certainly more on target. If keepers weren't as good this year in terms of shot stopping I would say Silva would have more than 2 goals for me. Nothing more I can say, very good shooting in terms of accuracy but lacks power.
Physical Stats say he is quite weak but times I have seen him hold his own and he certainly can take a shoulder or two and stay on his feet, probably helps that he has great balance, but this would be his worst factor as in most players in this position, so you know the score.
I just love this guy. Thanks for reading
(Nice pass )Silva to Sterling to Benteke to God.

IF Mesut Ozil
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Now someone made the mistake of listing him for MIN Bin and I luckily got him
Price Range: 55,000/1,000,000
Pace: Should this matter anymore? Especially in the midfield, pace is an extra bonus.
Shooting: Got a few longshots on target, but he is mainly used to set them up.
Passing: PASSING. 95 Vision (Have you seen his eyes?) 90 Short/82 Long. Suits my Tiki-Taka style of play nicely.
Dribbling: Ball never leaves his feet, unless someone fairly stronger than him pushes him off.
Defending/Physical: Both are useless. 6ft tall but only has 58 strength and 56 heading. Gary Medel would crush him.
Overall: He is a good card, but there are cheaper options (Including his NIF). 8/10
