Erling Haaland is one of the best strikers in FIFA 23, but the attacker is very expensive. Are you looking for an affordable alternative? Then Alexander Sørloth might be the one for you.
What kind of player is he? Alexander Sørloth is a Norwegian striker who plays in the Spanish first division for Real Sociedad.
In FIFA 23, he actually only received a 76 Gold card, which is not very strong. However, in the third Team of the Week, he received a card that can still make players nervous when he is on the field.
- Sørloth has an 88 pace with an acceleration of 88 and 95 sprint speed. That’s really fast for a bulky striker.
- He has the popular “Lengthy” running style in FIFA 23.
- His shooting stats are all very high; he has a strong finish. The shooting rating is overall 83, with a finisher style it even goes up to 92.
- His dribbling is not bad either, especially with the finisher style.
- Additionally, he has strong physical stats, with 88 stamina and 96 strength.
These stats make Sørloth extremely dangerous in FIFA 23. However, the striker is still very affordable.
The Norwegian can currently be found on the market for 11,000 coins, and he recently peaked at 13,000 coins (via futbin). A real bargain, comparing him with other strikers.
What players say about Sørloth in FIFA 23
Among FIFA players, Sørloth has made a name for himself as a sort of affordable Haaland version, a “poor man’s Haaland” so to speak.
From the stats perspective, the two players are not that far apart in FIFA 23. Haaland has advantages in shooting stats, while Sørloth is even slightly better in passing stats.
Haaland probably scores a few more goals in FIFA 23 — but in terms of value for money, Sørloth is a great alternative. He costs about 11,000 coins, while Haaland costs around 184,000 coins. You need a lot of trading to gather those coins.
Even in the FIFA subreddit, his name comes up repeatedly when discussing particularly good players for little coins. Players who use him praise the card – opponents tend to be more frightened of Sørloth:
- “IF Sørloth is so damn good. He scores 2 goals per game for me in Division 2, the man is like a steam engine and so fast,” writes one (via reddit).
- “This guy. When he starts the game, I can defend him, when he comes in as a substitute, he destroys me,” reports another (via reddit).
- “I made the mistake of underestimating this card. Boy, was I wrong,” writes a user (via reddit).
- “Sørloth ruins me more than Haaland,” agrees another (via reddit).
- “Sørloth is my club legend. Basically, I love my whole team so much that I don’t want to replace anyone, but he is together with Dybala my best player” (via reddit).
- “I use Sørloth as a striker with Kane in front of him; he outperforms Kane 3-1 and is fantastic. Mini-Haaland” (via reddit).
Sørloth currently seems to bring a combination of values that makes him fit perfectly into the gameplay of FIFA 23.
It is possible that he will be outclassed by other cards over time – after all, there are plenty of events that constantly bring new players into the game.
But currently, Sørloth might be a good alternative if you’re looking for a strong, affordable striker.
In FIFA 23, there are some cards that can be obtained cheaply but still perform impressively. Another one of these cards is Araujo, a strong, affordable defender.
