In FIFA 21 you can play as a 53-year-old footballer – But why?

In FIFA 21, there is a 53-year-old football professional with whom you can chase goals. But how did he make it into the game? And how good is his card in Ultimate Team?

What kind of player is he? The Japanese Kazuyoshi Miura, also known as “King Kazu”, is a football professional who has an extremely long football career. He is now 53 years old and plays for Yokohama FC in the Japanese first division. He is considered the oldest football professional in the world.

The FUT card of Kazuyoshi Miura

This is how old “King Kazu” is: The Japanese center forward played his first professional game for the Brazilian football club FC Santos in 1986. That was a year after Cristiano Ronaldo was born! At that time, Kazuyoshi was 19 years old.

When comparing him to other football greats, he is older than some icons in FIFA 21:

  • Zinedine Zidane (48) – Retired in 2006 at the age of 33
  • Pep Guardiola (49) – Retired in 2006 at the age of 35

Interestingly, Kazuyoshi Miura was already playable in FIFA 96.

Why is he in FIFA 21? Because his club (Yokohama FC) has been promoted to the Japanese first division this year, this club (including all players) is back in FIFA 21.

Because EA holds the license for the Japanese J1 League.

This is what the FUT card of “King Kazu” can do

This is how strong Kazuyoshi Miura is in FIFA 21: It is clear to anyone who takes a look at the FUT card of “King Kazu” that it is not a top card. He has a bronze card with an overall rating of 59, with shooting and dribbling stats standing out positively. These are not that bad with a value of 62.

His 4-star rating for weak foot is also good, allowing him to shoot goals with either foot. However, his biggest problem is his speed. Here, “King Kazu” only has a value of 25, which is far from competitive in the striker position.

Is the card worth it? To really score many goals, the card of Kazuyoshi Miura is consequently not worth it. It is only interesting as a curiosity to play with the oldest striker in FIFA 21.
