In FIFA 20, an old fan favorite, Jonathan Biabiany, received a strong new card. However, it is so expensive that the fans are quite upset.
Who is Jonathan Biabiany? The winger has been equally loved and feared in FIFA for years. His overall rating was never the highest – but the speed. That speed!
Since FIFA 13, Biabiany has been a weapon to reckon with, especially in Serie A teams. The winger easily outpaced nearly every defender. A classic pace monster – and correspondingly popular.
In FIFA 19, there was only a silver card with still 94 pace for Biabiany, while in FIFA 20 his card looked like this:
Still fast, of course. But not the same weapon as before.
Biabiany is back – but way too expensive
This is the card in question: During the FUT Birthday Event, Biabiany received a Flashback card. Of course: The speed was turned up again. With 99 pace and 93 dribbling, this Biabiany is not to be trifled with. It’s a pity that probably very few people will use him.
This is the problem: The new Biabiany card has not only three stars for weak foot and skill moves, but also plays in the second Italian league. The Frenchman fits in very few FUT teams based on the league.
Some fans might overlook that. But since the other stats besides pace are not particularly outstanding, the hefty price of about 140,000 coins for the SBC keeps many away.
This is what the fans say: In the FIFA subreddit, many fans express anger over the requirements for the 87-rated winger. Especially now in April, the SBC is far too expensive for a player with this rating. Pure nostalgia cannot justify the price.
- “This is one of the worst player SBCs they have released. They didn’t even improve the skill moves or weak foot,” complains user S-Yx (via reddit)
- “Probably the worst of all time,” agrees user Pidjesus (via reddit).
- “This is directly one of the bottom 5 SBCs in FIFA 20,” also finds user IsMiseOzz (via reddit).
Moreover, it is criticized that another French player falls into the current promo with Biabiany. Already 11 other promo players for the FUT Birthday come from France – this limits the combination possibilities.
For many players, the new Biabiany card is unfortunately not worth it. However, he should at least be interesting for players who enjoy dribbling – just like these seven strong dribblers.
