The name “Wissam Ben Yedder” strikes fear into many players in FIFA 20. And the fact that the real player apparently knows exactly how OP he is in FIFA 20 is demonstrated by a recent contest he launched.
What has the footballer done? On his Instagram profile, the striker Wissam Ben Yedder celebrated a post about reaching 500,000 followers. As a thank you, he also started a small contest. With this, he proved that he knows exactly that FIFA 20 played a certain role in his popularity.
Because in addition to 5 signed shirts, the attacker also raffled off five controllers signed by him. And indeed with the phrase: “[…] to replace those you destroyed because of me.”
A clear reference to FIFA 20 – because there, Wissam Ben Yedder is a feared name. But not because he himself is such a good FIFA player on the controller, but because his own card in the game is damn OP.
Ben Yedder knows exactly that he tortures FIFA players
Here’s the thing with Ben Yedder: In the FIFA community, Ben Yedder has basically become a meme. He is considered one of the most dangerous strikers in the game. This applies even to his gold card, whose overall rating of 83 isn’t all that high. But something about Ben Yedder consistently makes him unstoppable.
In real life, he also knows where the goal is: In 26 games, he scored 18 goals and provided 7 assists. The consequence: In FIFA 20, there were a flood of special cards for the striker and his ratings kept getting better.
So he has become one of the absolute nightmare players you can meet in the Weekend League. It got even worse with his TOTSSF card, which had a massive overall rating of 97. As soon as it was released, Ben Yedder commented on it with an amused “How many broken controllers does this one account for?”
However, players generally have a good impression of Ben Yedder. In the subreddit for FIFA 20 and on Twitter, players humorously respond to the footballer’s comments.
Whether Ben Yedder will also be as overpowered in FIFA 21 as in FIFA 20 remains to be seen. So far, no ratings for the upcoming game are known. But we already took a look at some Bundesliga players who need to improve at MeinMMO.
