FIFA 20\u2019s newly-released FUT Birthday promo featured big names like Kylian Mbappe, Eden Hazard, and Antoine Griezmann, but it was popular Premier League striker Rashford many tipped as a top pick in the upgraded team. Not everyone is sold, though. After getting his hands on the boosted English forward\u2019s new card, YouTube star Huge Gorilla took him for a spin in the Weekend League. After 30 games, Ealing has dubbed the card a \u201ctotal ripoff.\u201d \u201cInconsistent\u201d Rashford not worth the coins, says Gorilla According to Gorilla, who revealed his thoughts on Rashford\u2019s Birthday card in his latest FUT Champs video, the English forward is just \u201ctoo inconsistent\u201d to provide the game-changing impact a multi-million coin card should bring to the team. \u201cI think people will disagree with me, whether you\u2019ve used him or not\u2026 but he\u2019s not worth 1.5 million coins, that\u2019s a total ripoff. He\u2019s not agile. His finishing is kind of decent, yeah, but he\u2019s inconsistent with that as well,\u201d the YouTube star explained. \u201c1.5 to 1.6 million coins is what I paid for him. For that, I\u2019m expecting something really good from that. He doesn\u2019t offer me anything different to an 89 Kylian Mbappe [the French star\u2019s base gold card]. Nothing made me say \u2018oh my god\u2019.\u201d Would Rashford work better as a pure ST? Gorilla did admit his positional choice for the United striker\u2019s boosted card may have played a part in his \u201cdisappointment,\u201d though. Rashford was released as a 90-rated striker, but spent Ealing\u2019s WL run as a left-sided CAM \u2013 moving in-game. There\u2019s not a lot of difference between the two roles, to be fair. According to FIFA stats site FUTBIN, the card\u2019s base stats rank at 87 as a ST, and 86 as a CAM. In Huge Gorilla\u2019s eyes, there shouldn\u2019t be a big difference. \u201cHe has five-star weak foot and skills, but I didn\u2019t really see that playing him at left mid. If he was at striker, maybe he\u2019s better; he wasn\u2019t special enough to warrant the price tag. He was decent\u2026 but for 1.5m that\u2019s a big no from me,\u201d he added.

Marcus Rashford\u2019s FUT Birthday card may not be worth the pickup, but that doesn\u2019t mean the whole promo is a write-off, Gorilla said. According to the YouTuber, another Premier League star is the \u201chidden gem\u201d for the team. That \u2018gem\u2019 is Newcastle\u2019s French forward Allan Saint-Maximin. Gorilla admitted the RW card was \u201cin the top three or four\u201d best cards he\u2019d used in FIFA 20. He went as far as to say it felt \u201cthe same as Neymar,\u201d if not even better. Saint-Maximin is currently selling for around one million coins on Xbox, and 1.2m on PS4 and PC. If you are looking for a cheaper card, Gorilla added you could stick to FUT\u2019s tried-and-true striker \u2014 Mbappe currently costs around 400-500k.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Huge Gorilla explains why FUT Birthday Rashford is a \u201ctotal ripoff\u201d EA SportsManchester United\u2019s golden boy Marcus Rashford was one of the headliners for FIFA 20\u2019s latest Ultimate Team promo, FUT Birthday, but while many are celebrating his 90-rated upgrade, Spencer \u2018Huge Gorilla\u2019 Ealing isn\u2019t convinced.
