Known for his mechanical aim in the game while playing agents like Chamber and Jett, he provides a massive damage output in each round. Bleed Esports is the 11th team in the upcoming Valorant Pacific League in 2024. They claimed the 11th spot by winning the VCT Pacific Ascension tournament in 2023. Due to joining the new league, they went all guns blazing and signed Yay to their roster. The Upcoming ONE Pro Invitational was set to be the first time fans of Valorant esports would see this team play as a unit.&nbsp;&nbsp;In a post on Twitter/X, Bleed Esports stated the following reason for Yay not being present at the tournament:&nbsp;<blockquote>“It is with regret that we announce our beloved player, Jaccob "Yay" Whiteaker, will not be able to participate in the upcoming VALORANT tournament, Riot Games ONE PRO INVITATIONAL 2023, due to unforeseen health-related issues. He deeply appreciates the unwavering support and kindly asks for everyone's understanding during this challenging time. We kindly request that all fans send their best wishes and good vibes for his speedy recovery. Your support means everything to him and the team."</blockquote>&nbsp;Bleed Esports Also commented on who will be replacing Yay as the 5th man on the roster for this event:&nbsp;<blockquote>"In light of Yay's absence, we have decided to have our team coach, Nikola "LEGIJA" Ninić, step into the role for the tournament. LEGIJA brings unparalleled expertise and a deep understanding of the game, ensuring that our team competes at its highest level."</blockquote>&nbsp;Finally, this is what&nbsp;Jaccob “Yay” Whiteaker had to say to his fans in relation to being absent from the event&nbsp;&nbsp;<blockquote>"I'm sorry that I'm unable to attend this event. I know a lot of you were looking forward to me and the feeling is mutual. Japan has always held a place in my heart and it's my #1 place to go to in the future. I hope you still will give the same love that you've given me to my team at Riot Games ONE"</blockquote>&nbsp;With the absence of Yay, the question remains, who is the primary duelist for Bleed Esports? Only time will tell how they adapt and perform in the upcoming event without their star player.&nbsp;

This triumph marks a significant milestone for True Rippers, granting them a coveted spot in the prestigious Valorant Convergence Lan Event.

The match was between True Rippers and Reckoning Esports. This match ended in a 2-0 defeat for True Rippers. On the map of Lotus, True Rippers lost 13-7 due to an insane performance by players such as Excali, Harshhh, and Anq. Excali ended that game with a 60% headshot percentage. On the second map of Ascent, Reckoning was forced to make a comeback and win the map 17-15. The player to watch for this map was Anq who ended the match with a 30/23/6 KDA.&nbsp;&nbsp;Due to this result, True Rippers were pushed into the lower finals and had to face Grayfox. That match was quite a close affair but True Rippers came up clutch winning the Best Of 3 with a score of 2-1. The stage was set for the Grand Finals to be the rematch between currently the two best teams in India.&nbsp;<h2>Valorant Convergence: A Recap Of The Nail Biting Best Of 5&nbsp;</h2>&nbsp;<div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Everyone at our bootcamp was stoked after our win in the Closed Qualifiers!

History did repeat itself with Reckoning Esports winning this map with a score of 13-9. The player who shone the brightest on this map was Anq. He ended the map with a KDA of 19/13/5. It must have left like deja vu for True Rippers as the second map was Ascent. The only difference was that there wasn’t overtime. Instead, True Rippers won this map with a score of 13-11. The player who was quite the clutch for his team was Techno. He ended the map with a KDA of 22/15/10.&nbsp; The third map was played on Bind and the score wasn’t something anyone expected. I must state that this map was selected by Reckoning Esports. True Rippers won this map in dominating fashion winning the map with a score of 13-2. D1srupt was on fire during this map while playing the character of Raze. He ended the game with a KDA of 22/9/0. A massive point to note is that the player had zero assists. This means that each time there was a duel against him, d1srupt came on top for most of the attempts.&nbsp;<div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">BEATING ALL ODDS 🔥🙌🏻<a href="https://twitter.com/truerippers?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@truerippers</a> Are your Winners Of The Convergence LCQ India After Beating <a href="https://twitter.com/ReckoningIndia?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ReckoningIndia</a> With a Score of 3-2!

Reckoning Esports realized that losing this game would result in them being out of the tournament. As such they brushed off the previous match and won the first 8 rounds of this map. The final score ended in 13-9. True Rippers did win 5 rounds in a row but it just wasn’t enough for them to initiate the comeback. The MVP of this map was none other than Anq who finished this map with a KDA of 26/12/5. One could see him oozing with confidence while playing on Jett getting the first kill in 5 rounds.&nbsp;This performance led us all into Map 5 to decide which team would be invited to the Valorant Convergence Lan Event in Bangalore. True Rippers started this game with quite a lot of ferocity. During the first half, they went on to win 10 rounds with ease. On defense, it did feel like no one could go past d1srupt on the map of Breeze. He ended the first half with a KDA of 11/3/0 with 3 First Kills. On attack, it honestly felt like d1srupt was allowed to let loose and he proved his mark. He ended the second half with a KDA of 11/6/0 having a 44% headshot percentage.&nbsp;&nbsp;This incredible performance by d1srupt as well as by players like Techno and Deathmaker is the reason that True Rippers could win the India Close Qualifers and become the 6th team to take part in the event hosted by The Esports Club.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;Free Fire Max fans, get ready to dive into a match that will leave fans around the nation breathless. The first-ever Free Fire Max LAN tournament will be held in January 2024, and Esportz has announced the full list of teams that will participate in the tournament.&nbsp;The Esportz Premier Series will be the first Esports Lan event of the year in India. Matches of games such as EA FC, CS2, and Pokemon Unite have already been announced to be taking place. The main event in the eyes of many is the Free Fire Max tournament. Within this article, let's take a look at the announced details about the upcoming event and who are the teams to watch out for.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://gossip.gg/gaming/news/best-rbs-in-ea-fc-24-ultimate-team-top-5-rbs-in-the-game">Best RBs In EA FC 24 Ultimate Team: Top 5 RBs&nbsp;In The Game</a> &nbsp;<h2>Which Teams Are Taking Part in The Esports Premier Series Free Fire Max Lan Event?</h2>&nbsp;<img src="https://d2dgkt5728m0bd.cloudfront.net/Esportz_Premier_Series_Stage_97792f4d50.jpg" alt="Esportz Premier Series Stage.jpg"> Free Fire MAX is a mobile battle royale mobile game that is an upgraded version of Free Fire. The game was launched in September 2021. Since then the original Free Fire has been banned in India. This came about when the Indian government banned over 50 apps from Chinese on the Google Play Store in India. Unlike the original game, Free Fire Max is developed and owned by a Singaporean company called Garena. There are no direct links between Garena and the Chinese company that developed the game. The servers used in Free Fire Max are different from those of the original game, which may address some concerns about data transfer. Due to this Free Fire Max has been available since its launch in India.&nbsp; As such it is quite interesting to see that not a lot of tournament organizers took advantage of the availability of Free Fire Max. There have been no tournaments that have taken place nor any form of official events by Garena themselves. Esports Premier Series could be the first of many, being the catalyst to initiate the building of trust between Esports Organizations and the teams.&nbsp;There will be 12 teams that will be taking part in the upcoming Lan event on the 19th and 20th of January. Below are the names of all the teams that will be taking part in this event:<ul><li>TSG Army</li><li>Head Hunters</li><li>The World Of Battle</li><li>4 Errors</li><li>Team Hind</li><li>Orangutan Elite</li><li>Aura Esports</li><li>Team Chokers</li><li>Black Flag Army</li><li>4 Unknown</li><li>Rusher Esports</li><li>Team RTP Esports</li></ul>&nbsp;<img src="https://d2dgkt5728m0bd.cloudfront.net/Esportz_Premier_Series_Grand_Finale_LAN_Crowd_cheering_their_favourite_esports_players_and_teams_6be0d4ba80.png" alt="Esportz Premier Series Grand Finale LAN Crowd cheering their favourite esports players and teams.png"> In 2023 the Free Fire Lan took place in Mumbai on January 3rd and 4th. During that event, the winners were Orangutan Elite with a total of 188 points. They had won the prize pool of 5 lakh rupees with Extreme Troner Esports coming second.

Before the official launch of EA FC 24, EA Sports had announced that there will be cards called UCL Heroes that will be available in the game.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://gossip.gg/gaming/news/how-to-hit-the-griddy-in-ea-fc-24">How To Hit The Griddy In EA FC 24</a><h1>EA FC 24: Which Players Will Be Included In The UCL HEROES Promo</h1>&nbsp;<div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">🚨90 Rated Heroes Teves 🇦🇷 Coming to <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/EAFC24?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#EAFC24</a> <a href="https://t.co/7J9pYtdEUk">pic.twitter.com/7J9pYtdEUk</a>— EAFC 24 News (@UTSources) <a href="https://twitter.com/UTSources/status/1683853129563906048?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 25, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>&nbsp;If you had pre-ordered the EA FC Ultimate Edition, you will be qualified to obtain a free boosted UCL Hero in the game.

In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Floragato evolves into Meowscarada at level 36. Meowscarada has a dual typing of Grass &amp; Dark. In the official games, it has the hidden ability Protean that allows it to change its type based on the type of the last move it used. Its signature move in the game is called <a href="https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Flower_Trick_(move)">Flower Trick</a>. This is a grass-type move with a 70 base attack which never misses and each time will be a critical hit. Due to this move and its typing in the game, Meowsccarada was quite popular in the early phases of the Pokemon VGC.&nbsp;To obtain Meowscarada in the game it is rumored that she will cost a total of 15,000 Aeros coins or 700 gems. This would make it the highest-priced Pokemon alongside Zacian and Mewtwo. It is highly believed that this Pokemon will be available for a limited time pass in the game in the upcoming Christmas-based event. This will allow new fans to test out the Pokemon before investing a lot of coins.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>What Abilities Will Meowscarada Have in Pokemon Unite?</h2>&nbsp;<div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Meowscarada <a href="https://t.co/1sgbSqjI1o">pic.twitter.com/1sgbSqjI1o</a>— Eevee (@ElChicoEevee) <a href="https://twitter.com/ElChicoEevee/status/1724748145823736055?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 15, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div> Meowscarada is said to become the 8th Speedster class Pokemon in Pokemon Unite. As such her abilities are based on mobility and high-damage output. This would allow her to be perfect for the Jungler role in a given team. Let us take a look at Meowscarada’s abilities in Pokemon Unite&nbsp;<ul><li>Leafage: The user will shoot out leaves that will deal damage as well as reduce their movement speed if they are hit.</li><li>Hone Claws: This is a non-damaging move. This move will increase the speed and attack of the user for the next 3 basic attacks after activation.</li><li>Flower Trick: The user attaches a flower bomb to the opposing Pokemon.

The damage radius and output are increased if the user can damage the Pokemon to whom the flower bomb has been attached.</li><li>Night Slash: The user throws waves of its claws onto the opposing Pokemon dealing damage and providing a mark onto the Pokemon. If a Pokemon is marked, the basic attack has a higher chance of being a critical hit &amp; the cooldown is reduced and the user restores health.</li><li>Double Team: The user creates a copy of himself while dashing away to confuse the opponent. If the move is used again then the user will change locations with the copy of itself. If the health of the copy is 0 then there will be flowers scattered onto the floor which will damage the opponent and result in them not being able to move for a short span of time.</li><li>Trailblaze: The user will leap onto the designated location and deal damage to the opponent. If the opponent is hit then they are paralyzed for a small amount of time. If the user is in tall grass the radii of this move is increased. Finally, if the user with this move makes an assist or kill, the move cooldown is reset.</li><li>Unite Move - Floral Flourish:&nbsp;Instantly moves to the nearest spot, creating a flowery whirl around itself and dealing damage to the enemy Pokemon. During this phase, Meowscarada is unable to use any other attacks.</li></ul>&nbsp;

&nbsp;The hype for EA FC UCL Heroes is in full effect. With Black Friday ending last week, there are going to be new players in the game. As such, EA FC has gone on and provided more content for fans to indulge themselves in. EA FC launched a new SBC challenge for a flashback card for Eliaquim Mangala. In this article, we will take a look if his card is worth the money as well as how to complete the SBC Challenge&nbsp;&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://gossip.gg/gaming/news/all-ucl-heroes-in-ea-fc-24">All UCL Heroes In EA&nbsp;FC&nbsp;24</a>&nbsp;<h2>EA FC: How To Complete The Flashback Eliaquim Mangala SBC?</h2>&nbsp;<div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">The thunder isn't stopping. Five new options have landed in the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Thunderstruck?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Thunderstruck</a> team plus a brand new 'Flash' Flashback Squad Building Challenge, all available in <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FC24?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FC24</a> Ultimate Team now. <a href="https://t.co/g45vghGD0q">pic.twitter.com/g45vghGD0q</a>— EA SPORTS FC (@EASPORTSFC) <a href="https://twitter.com/EASPORTSFC/status/1728836088104382911?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 26, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>&nbsp;Eliaquim Mangala's Flashback card is rated at 86. Take a look at his face card stats he has 85 pace, 83 defending, and 88 physicality. For a player whose primary position is center-back, these stats are quite good. With a Med/High work rate, there are fewer chances to see him bomb forward into the attack. Some of his key stats are as follows:&nbsp;<ul><li>Acceleration 84</li><li>Sprint Speed 86</li><li>Short Passing 81</li><li>Long Passing 80</li><li>Reactions 84</li><li>Interceptions 82</li><li>Heading Accuracy 90</li><li>Def.

The requirements for the SBC are as follows&nbsp;&nbsp;<ul><li>Players from France: Min 1</li><li>Squad Rating: Min 82</li><li>Players in the Squad: 11</li></ul>&nbsp;<div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">🚨 FREE UCL HERO HAS COME EARLY Send your pulls 👇 <a href="https://t.co/0FhsKnNrDH">pic.twitter.com/0FhsKnNrDH</a>— EAFC 24 News (@FIFA22_INFO) <a href="https://twitter.com/FIFA22_INFO/status/1729183890399797475?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 27, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>&nbsp;Currently, the SBC will cost you 8900 coins on the Playstation and Xbox Transfer Market and 11,000 on the PC Transfer Market. The solution for the SBC is present in the image below.&nbsp;<img src="https://d2dgkt5728m0bd.cloudfront.net/fb_sbc_solu_1_bbe4dd3e73.png" alt="fb sbc solu 1.png">&nbsp;For less than 9000 this card is quite a steal in our opinion. Having 80+ stats in the ideal attributes makes this card quite a cheap beast to obtain. Due to his French nationality, he will be able to gain chemistry with other French players. Due to playing in the Portuguese league, his card would be ideal for players who prefer to test out the players in not-so-popular leagues. If his card does feel clunky in the game due to his average balance and agility, one can then use him as SBC fodder for future Squad Builder Challenges.&nbsp;

EA FC 24 Eliaquim Mangala Flashback SBC: A Steal for Under 9K Coins

EA FC has launched a new promo which is called UEFA Heros. These cards have dynamic images that have been made for the game in collaboration with Marvel.

&nbsp;Last night EA Sports Launched a new promo within EA FC 24. This promo is called UCL Heroes. These cards have dynamic images that have been made for the game in collaboration with Marvel. Hero cards are provided to players from the older generation who could be considered as one of the best when they play the sport. These UEFA Hero cards are similar to the already realized Hero cards in EA FC. The major difference between the two is the ratings, playstyles, and dynamic images of the cards. In this article, we will be taking a look at the top 5 UEFA Hero cards that you must try out.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://gossip.gg/gaming/news/all-ucl-heroes-in-ea-fc-24">All UCL Heroes In EA&nbsp;FC&nbsp;24</a> &nbsp;<h2>EA FC: Who Are The Top 5 UEFA Hero Cards In The Game?</h2>&nbsp;<div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">🚨 Héros UCL Pour tous ceux qui ont préco EAFC24 c'est le jour de recevoir notre joueur Héros 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️ UCL <a href="https://t.co/HQgmujmdUS">pic.twitter.com/HQgmujmdUS</a>— Futixx (@Futixx93) <a href="https://twitter.com/Futixx93/status/1729093241214284053?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 27, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div> Currently, the only manner to obtain these cards is by the Pre-Order pack that players receive if they Pre-ordered the Ultimate edition of EA FC. If the players did verify their pre-order then they would receive the UEFA Hero Edition of cards in the game. If they did not they would receive the normal Hero Edition of the card. Ideally, these cards will be later realized in SBCs as well as Promo packs in the future. Here are the Top 5 players that you should try out from the UEFA Heros Promo.&nbsp;<h3>Abedi Pelé (Lique 1) - 90 OVR</h3>&nbsp;<div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Abedi Pele was included in the FIFA 22 Ultimate Team and added to the FIFA 22 FUT Hero Cards. <a href="https://t.co/92sZvLGfeZ">pic.twitter.com/92sZvLGfeZ</a>— Africa Facts Zone (@AfricaFactsZone) <a href="https://twitter.com/AfricaFactsZone/status/1513406086811901962?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 11, 2022</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>&nbsp;The first player on our list might confuse a lot of fans of football. This Pele is a different player than the well-renowned Pele from Brazil. The first UEFA Hero card one must try out is of Abedi Pele. Till now he is considered as one of the best players to have played football from the country of Ghana. Looking at his face card stats we see 92 Pace, 85 Shooting, 88 Passing &amp; 92 Dribbling. These stats are decent for a player who can play in the CAM, LM, and CF positions in the game. Another point to note is his 4-star skill moves and weak foot.&nbsp;<h3>Paulo Futre (Liga NOS) - 89 OVR</h3>&nbsp;<img src="https://d2dgkt5728m0bd.cloudfront.net/fc24_heroes_media_paulo_futre_png_adapt_1920w_7708674796.png" alt="fc24-heroes-media-paulo-futre.png.adapt.1920w.png">&nbsp;The next player on our list is none other than the Portuguese legend, Paulo Futre. The first player on our list to have 5-star skill moves. Having 5-star skill moves helps Paulo Futre add another dimension to his play by being able to use skill moves. Looking at his face card stats he has 94 Pace, 83 Shooting, 82 Passing &amp; 94 dribbling. He can play in the LW, RW, ST, and LM positions as well. As a winger he will be expected to play higher on the pitch and with his High/Low work rates, he could also be used as a Shadow striker in EA FC 24. The only worry with his card is his 74 stamina. This would provide him with the glass cannon feeling in which he needs to subbed off by the 65th minute.&nbsp;<h3>Vincent Kompany (Premier League) - 89 OVR</h3>&nbsp;<img src="https://d2dgkt5728m0bd.cloudfront.net/fc24_heroes_media_vincent_kompany_png_adapt_1920w_c42dc74f0e.png" alt="fc24-heroes-media-vincent-kompany.png.adapt.1920w.png">Known for his incredible defensive and leadership qualities, it doesn’t feel like the Belgian can ever be forgotten. Taking a look at his face card stats he has 81 Pace, 91 Defending, and 87 physicality. With a 6’3” frame and a Med/High work rate in EA FC, Kompany is one of the best centre-back cards in the game. One must keep in mind that due to being a Hero card with the premier league, he will be able to provide chemistry as well to other players in the team from the Premier League. It wouldn’t be a hot take to even try his card out in the CDM position as well due to his Playstyle Plus being ANTICIPATE.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>Ludovic Giuly (La Liga) - 88 OVR</h3>&nbsp;&nbsp;The second last player on our list is none other than the French Elf himself Ludovic Giuly. Standing at 5’5” he might be one of the toughest wingers to get the ball off his feet. Not due to his strength but instead due to the manner he can adjust his centre of gravity. Looking at his face card stats he has 90 Pace, 85 Shooting, 85 passing, and 88 dribbling. Unlike Futre he isn't meant to be a glass cannon and has a respectable 88 stamina in EA FC. He can only play in the RM and RW position but with his 4-star skill moves and weak foot, one must not shy away to use him on the left flank. In a meta filled with tall players, it will be interesting to see if Giuly can make the required difference.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>Wesley Sneijder (Serie A) - 91 OVR</h3>&nbsp;<img src="https://d2dgkt5728m0bd.cloudfront.net/fc24_heroes_media_wesley_sneijder_png_adapt_1920w_673e2f7de4.png" alt="fc24-heroes-media-wesley-sneijder.png.adapt.1920w.png">Finally, the card that everyone must try out is none other than the legendary CAM from Holland, it is Wesley Sneijder. His time playing for Inter Milan and winning the UEFA Champions League with them is the main reason for him to obtain this card. Looking at his face card stats in EA FC he has 85 Pace, 87 Shooting, 93 Passing &amp; 89 Dribbling. He also has 80 physicality but the key point to note is that 86 stamina. Here are some of his attributes in-game to realize how all-rounded his card is in-game&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<ul><li>Acceleration 88</li><li>Sprint Speed 82</li><li>Positioning 86</li><li>Finishing 85</li><li>Shot Power 89</li><li>Long Shots 92</li><li>Volleys 88</li><li>Penalties 80</li><li>Vision 96</li><li>Crossing 89</li><li>FK.

Due to having a 5-star weakfoot ingame, any shot taken from his left foot will have the same probability as his right foot. Currently, his base Hero card is valued at 147,000 coins so it would be fair to assume that his UEFA Hero card will be available for around 300,000 coins in EA FC.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://gossip.gg/gaming/news/bgmi-2-9-update-release-date-new-features-and-more">BGMI 2.9 Update: Release Date, New Features, And More</a>&nbsp;

Top 5 UCL Heroes To Try In EA FC 24

Top 5 Thunderstruck Players in EA To Try Out

&nbsp;With Black Friday and Cyber Monday coming to an end yesterday, it won't be wrong to guess that a lot of people bought EA FC during the sale. Taking advantage of this hype as well as having new fans into the game, EA FC launched a new promo called Thunderstruck. Consisting of players from the past as well as from the present. Since the launch of EA FC, there has been quite a content galore in the game. Within this article we will be taking a look at 5 players you must try out from this promo.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://gossip.gg/gaming/news/top-5-ucl-heroes-to-try-in-ea-fc-24">Top 5 UCL Heroes To Try In EA FC 24</a> &nbsp;<h2>EA FC: Who Are The Top 5 Players One Must Try Out From The Thunderstruck Event?</h2>&nbsp;One must note that in this article we aren’t going to talk about the best cards in the promo. This is because most of them cost over 2 million coins which is quite tough to obtain in the game. Unless someone is paying to buy FC points it is quite unrealistic to expect players to have that much money in the game. Instead, we are going to talk about players who can be used for all casual players as well as professionals of the game.&nbsp;<h3>Juan Cuadrado</h3><img src="https://d2dgkt5728m0bd.cloudfront.net/fc24_thunderstruck_cuadrado_png_adapt_crop16x9_652w_af281b20fd.png" alt="fc24-thunderstruck-cuadrado.png.adapt.crop16x9.652w.png">The first player on our list is none other than Juan Cuadrado. One of the best right-backs in this game as well as in the previous edition of this game. Looking at his face card stats, he has 93 Pace, 78 Shooting, 83 Passing, 89 Dribbling &amp; 80 Defending. Cuadrado can play in 3 positions which are RB, RWB, and RW. Due to his card being quite balanced ideally, you could play him in a 5 at the back as a wingback. Due to his High/Low work rates, it would be rare to see him tracking back as well when required. Another point to note is that due to his low stamina, many players will need to substitute him by the 67th minute.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>Alphonso Davies</h3>&nbsp;<img src="https://d2dgkt5728m0bd.cloudfront.net/fc24_thunderstruck_davies_png_adapt_crop16x9_652w_ead9722b97.png" alt="fc24-thunderstruck-davies.png.adapt.crop16x9.652w.png">Currently one of the best Canadian players to have ever played football, We have Alphonso Davies. Every edition of this game he has been the go-to left-back for a lot of professional players in the world. Taking a look at his face card stats, he has 96 Pace, 81 Passing, 86 Dribbling, and 79 physical. Due to his 4-star weak foot and skill moves, he can be played quite easily out of position on any part of the pitch. Davies can play in the LM, LB &amp; LWB positions thus allowing him the flexibility to play in all formations available in the game. Due to having Quick Step as his Playstyle Plus, you will see him accelerate at a faster pace when compared to players without this trait and having the same stats. Currently, his card is valued at 748,000 coins.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>Marie Katoto</h3>&nbsp;<img src="https://d2dgkt5728m0bd.cloudfront.net/fc24_thunderstruck_katoto_png_adapt_crop16x9_652w_9d10216dd5.png" alt="fc24-thunderstruck-katoto.png.adapt.crop16x9.652w.png">Marie Katoto might now officially be another reason why players will be trolled during pack openings. Due to being in the same club and nation as Mbappe, there have been multiple instances where players feel they have placed him but instead, it's Marie. It does feel like EA has gone one step forward and given her a promo card to maybe soften the burn. Looking at her face card stats she has 85 Pace, 90 Shooting, 80 Passing &amp; 86 Dribbling. There is another aspect to her card which comes concerning heading. While she has a 5’10” frame in EA FC, her card has 96 heading accuracy &amp; 97 jumping with the Power Header Playstyle as well. With her 4 star skill moves &amp; weak foot as well as having High/Low work rates, she does qualify to be a cheap beast. Currently, she is valued at 70,000 coins.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>Kadidiatou Diani</h3><img src="https://d2dgkt5728m0bd.cloudfront.net/fc24_thunderstruck_diani_png_adapt_crop16x9_652w_1927d791e6.png" alt="fc24-thunderstruck-diani.png.adapt.crop16x9.652w.png">&nbsp;The second last card on this list is Kadidiatou Diani.&nbsp; This is the point in the list where the prices of the cards start to skyrocket. She has 4 start skills as well as a weak foot. She can play in the RW, RM, and ST positions in EA FC. Her face card stats are as follows 90 Pace, 86 shooting, 85 Passing &amp; 89 dribbling. With the High/High work rates, she is undoubtedly one of the best RWs currently available in the game. Currently, her card is valued at 1.2 million coins and anyone will understand why. Having the Trivela Playstyle Plus with the Finesse Shot Playstyle is the cherry on top of her card.&nbsp;<h3>Vinícius Júnior</h3><img src="https://d2dgkt5728m0bd.cloudfront.net/fc24_thunderstruck_vini_png_adapt_crop16x9_652w_d398ea677b.png" alt="fc24-thunderstruck-vini.png.adapt.crop16x9.652w.png">Finally, the card which if possible everyone must try out is none other than the EA FC Mobile cover star himself, Vinicius Junior. The Brazilian winger has been one of the best wingers to watch play in any competition recently. Looking at his face card stats he has 96 Pace, 84 shooting, 80 Passing &amp; 91 dribbling. These stats don't show the full story as he also has 86 stamina, 5-star skill moves &amp; 4-star weakfoot. The interesting part about his card is that EA has reduced his passing stats when looking at his base card stats to provide a boost to the rest of the card. Currently on the market he is valued at 3.9 million coins which is incredibly very high. As such we suggest you wait until EA provides a SBC to obtain a Thunderstruck player in the game.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://gossip.gg/gaming/news/all-ucl-heroes-in-ea-fc-24">All UCL Heroes In EA&nbsp;FC&nbsp;24</a> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Looking at his face card stats we can see that he has 76 Pace, 89 Defending, 87 Physicality, and 71 dribbling. His card does show that he has overall low dribbling but for a centre-back back this isn't the most crucial attribute. Due to having 88 composure and 89 reactions, it would be rare to see him be pressured into making errors. He has 3-star skill moves as well as 2-star weak foot with a Med/High work rate. One must note that he doesn’t have any Playstyle Plus on his card.&nbsp;To complete his SBC you will need to complete two challenges, one being the Argentina Challenge and the second being the Top Form Challenge. For the Argentina Challenge here are the following requirements.&nbsp;<ul><li>&nbsp;Players from Argentina: Min 1</li><li>&nbsp;Squad Rating: Min 83</li><li>&nbsp;Players in the Squad: 11</li></ul>&nbsp;This SBC challenge will cost atleast 18,000 coins in EA FC. Below we have provided the cheapest solution to complete the SBC&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://d2dgkt5728m0bd.cloudfront.net/fb_sbc_solu_2_e303d7c8eb.png" alt="fb sbc solu 2.png"></figure>&nbsp;&nbsp;The last SBC Challenge that one has to complete is called Top Form. For this challenge here are the following requirements&nbsp;<ul><li>In-Form Players: Min 1</li><li>Squad Rating: Min 84</li><li>Players in the Squad: 11</li></ul>&nbsp;This SBC challenge will cost players a minimum of 65,000 coins in EA FC.

If you are a fan of Argentina or Tottenham, then this card is worth the money. This is because his In-form card is 84 rated and is currently valued at 38,000 coins. If you are a fan of neither then you can skip this SBC as his card would not be worth the investment even in the form of SBC fodder.&nbsp;
