In FIFA 19 brings EA another FUT favorite player as part of the FUT Birthday event with Esswein. What the card can do and whether the investment is worth it, you can find out here.
Why does Alexander Esswein get a top card? So far, hardly anyone has played with Alexander Esswein in FUT 19. However, his standard gold card was extremely popular in FIFA 13. Especially the combination with Marco Reus was deadly and caused fear and terror among many opponents.
The extreme pace was the main argument for this striker. But his good shooting stats and the 4-star weak foot were also a guarantee for many goals.
Now Esswein has returned as a “favorite player” card as part of the FUT Birthday event with a powerful card that brings back the old times.
This is what the Esswein FUT Birthday card can do
This is the new card: As part of the FUT Birthday in FIFA 19, Esswein receives a striker card with an overall rating of 87. A really strong upgrade compared to his 72-rated silver card in right midfield.
This card again highlights the enormous pace, 93 is a top value. But this time the card offers more than just pure speed.
The dribbling and especially the physical stats are excellent. Together with the decent shooting stats, there shouldn’t be too many problems in causing havoc offensively.
The new FUT Birthday card can hardly be compared to the standard silver card. It is superior in all respects.
These are the weaknesses: A problem with the new special card could be the stamina, which is only at 79. By the end of a match, it may therefore be that Esswein can no longer utilize his great speed.
It’s also a shame that he only has 3 stars on the weak foot now; his legendary FIFA 13 card still had 4 stars.
Conclusion on FUT favorite Esswein: For substitution, the FUT Birthday card from Alexander Esswein is true luxury, but even from the start, he is a strong option for any Bundesliga team. Offensively, he is a force – with minor weaknesses. He should score goals in any case.
Whether the card will reach the same cult status as its counterpart from FIFA 13 will still remain to be seen.
With the chemistry style “Deadeye” you can make the card even better.
