In FIFA 22 you can now secure a new card of Jermain Defoe. And it is so affordable and strong that you really have to get it.
What kind of card is it? Jermain Defoe has received an “End-of-an-Era” card in Ultimate Team. These cards are given to deserving players at the end of their careers or at the conclusion of a specific phase – and this is also true for Defoe.
The Englishman only has a 68-rated silver card in FIFA 22, but the new End-of-an-Era card jumps a whole 22 points in overall rating. Now the new 90-rated card comes out, which impresses with absolutely strong values.
- Defoe now has a pace rating of 92
- All shooting stats are above 90 – except for the “long shots”, which are still impressive at 88
- The passing stats are not overly strong but can be boosted through Chemistry Styles
- The dribbling stats are also extremely well set up. He isn’t a 5-star skiller, but he can handle the ball.
- Additionally, Defoe has received 4 stars for skills and his weak foot
- And his work rate is “High” in attack and “Low” in defense
- Also, detailed stats like “Aggression” (95), jumping ability (94), or heading accuracy (99) are impressive
In short: Defoe has everything you need from a strong striker. The only drawback is the league: Being in the third English league makes linking him a bit tricky. However, this is somewhat balanced out by the nationality (English).
And getting him is not that hard – because the card is not in the FIFA 22 packs, but in a challenge.
Affordable Defoe SBC brings you a strong striker
How to get Defoe in FIFA 22: To obtain Jermaine Defoe’s End-of-an-Era card, you need to complete the corresponding Squad Building Challenge. The great thing: Even though Defoe is an extremely strong striker, it is easy to accomplish.
