The German FIFA professional MoAuba sensationally wins the FIFA eWorld Cup in London. But what makes the newly crowned world champion so strong in FIFA 19? We take a look at his tactics.
At the FIFA eWorld Cup in London, MoAuba sensationally managed to win the world champion title in FIFA. The path was anything but easy.
This is how the World Cup went for MoAuba: The German FIFA professional from SV Werder Bremen qualified with 31 other players for the FIFA eWorld Cup, the official FIFA 19 World Championship.
Until the semifinals, the FIFA professional made it without major problems. But then he faced nicolas99fc. This match was a showdown of giants and could only be decided by a dramatic penalty shootout. MoAuba won this 4:3.
Next, he faced the previously undefeated defending champion Mosaad from Saudi Arabia in the final.
In the first leg of the final, on the unfamiliar Xbox One, MoAuba even managed a strong 1:1.
After that followed the really exciting second leg of the final on the Playstation. MoAuba was able to win this with a score of 2:1 after taking a 2:0 lead. This secured him the world champion title and a prize of 250,000 US dollars.
Who is MoAuba? Mohammed Harkous is a German FIFA professional from SV Werder Bremen. He is already a 4-time German champion and now world champion in FIFA. On the Playstation, he ranks 5th in the world ranking.
He is also part of the newly founded German FIFA national team.
MoAuba has already had the opportunity to play FIFA 20 and share his impressions:
What makes the first German world champion so good?
This is his team: Of course, MoAuba also has a top team in FIFA 19. This consists of many Icon cards and top FUT cards. Absolute highlights are Cristiano Ronaldo (TOTS), Prime-Icon-Ronaldo, and Neymar (TOTS).
This is an incredibly strong offense. But the opponents’ teams also have FUT cards of the same quality.
MoAuba starts with the following team:
- Cristiano Ronaldo
- Neymar Jr
- Gullit
- Havertz
- Vieria
- Ronaldo
- Mendy
- Varane
- Van Dijk
- Da Costa
- Van der Sar
This is his tactic: On his YouTube channel, MoAuba has presented his tactics for the FIFA World Cup again, where he explains that he switches to a 4-1-2-1-2 formation with a narrow diamond when behind. A rather unusual setup in the professional field.
Here he chooses the setting “Quick Build-up” and additionally instructs his players to apply constant pressure. This gives MoAuba absolute dominance in attack. Many players offer themselves and are in the opponent’s half, always ready to receive the deadly pass.
A pretty dangerous tactic, but one that can definitely pay off. The only important thing is that it is not played from the beginning. Otherwise, too many spaces are left open and the players get tired quickly.
This is his play style: MoAuba is particularly praised for his technical skills, especially in defense. The FIFA professional has perfected this. He masters player switching flawlessly and is always present with a defender. He often anticipates the opponent’s passes and closes off passing lanes. A really strong way of playing that requires immense practice and training.
On reddit , he is also recognized for rarely exploiting the meta of FIFA 19 and thereby abusing game mechanics. This is not the case for many professionals.
