The latest Hero Matchday Player Pick after we had to choose between Alex Scott, Solskjaer & Beasley last time.
This time we arguably have much better picks, the elegant Spanish midfielder Guti, the lethal French striker Jean-Pierre Papin, and the versatile French left back Sonia Bompastor.
Unlike traditional SBCs where you receive a random reward, this Player Pick format gives you control over your outcome.
You’ll be able to choose between three Hero items, each representing football legends who made significant impacts at specific clubs throughout their careers.
The three available Heroes span different positions and leagues, offering flexibility for various squad building needs.
Hero cards are among the most coveted items in Ultimate Team thanks to their impressive stats and valuable league based chemistry boosts, making this SBC particularly attractive for players looking to strengthen their squads.
So which is one is the best for you?
Papin(ST): A legendary goalscorer for Marseille and AC Milan, Jean-Pierre Papin’s Hero card is all about one thing, finding the back of the net.
He possesses 4 star weak foot and 3 star skill moves, has power shot playstyle+ and low driven playstyle. His role are Target Forward+ and Advanced Forward ++. His shooting is absolutely lethal, he has 95 finishing, 95 volleys and 94 attacking position.
His pace is also very good at 83 and if you add an engine on him it goes to 86. The price also reflects his abilities currently sitting at 102,000.
He is a great option if you have a French side and want a striker that has the best finishing, don’t expect crazy dribbling from him. He will deliver goals if you play style involves using your striker as a poacher. These are all his stats as a reference:
Guti(CM/CAM): The former Real Madrid maestro, Guti, is a dream for players who value creativity and technical prowess in the heart of their midfield.
He will end up being the most popular pick for many players as lot of us have Spanish or La Liga players due to the meta this season. He has the incisive playstyle+ and finesse shot playstyle.
He has 4 star skill moves and 3 star weak foot and what makes him even better is he has ++ roles for two different positions, CM Half Winger +, CM Playmaker ++ and CAM Shadow Striker ++.
His passing, dribbling and shooting stats are great, he has 92 short passing, 91 long passing, 91 vision and 87 ball control. His pace is a bit slow at 77 but you can get it to 80 using an Engine.
His price is higher than Papin at 114,000, one of the best centre mids in the game at the moment. Here are his stats as reference.
Sonia Bompastor(LB/LM): A pioneer of the women’s game and a decorated player for Lyon, Sonia Bompastor offers incredible versatility and a well rounded skill set.
She has the most all rounded stats between the 3 heroes with all her core stats being above 74 and apart from her physicality(74) every core stat is above 80. She has the perfect playstyle for a fullback, whipped pass playstyle+, anticipate and relentless playstyle.
Her roles are also ++ in two positions, Attacking wingback++ and Winger++. She also commands the highest fee among all 3 at 118,000 coins.
If you are a player who has lot of players from the French Arkema league, she will be a perfect choice. Especially if you are using the Diani, Katoto and Dumornay trio. Here are her stats as a reference.
Analyze your current squad, identify its weakest area, and select the Hero that will provide the biggest and most immediate upgrade. All three are formidable players who can elevate your team’s performance.
