Marco Reus was one of the best left wingers in FIFA 14. Now, EA SPORTS are commemorating that legacy during the FUT Birthday promotion, giving the German star a special SBC card. Here’s how you can get your hands on it.
Reus has been a staple of many FIFA Ultimate Teams since around FIFA 12. However, in 2013/14, the German star had a blinder of a year, and that was reflected in FIFA 14.
He netted 23 goals for Dortmund across the year, including 16 in the Bundesliga which tied him for the fourth-most. He also managed to finish with the most assists with 14, primarily helping Lewandowski out front (20 goals in 13/14).
He was electric in FIFA 14, picking up two TOTWs and a place in the TOTS Bundesliga squad. Now, that legacy is being remembered in the FIFA 21 FUT Birthday promotion.
While Reus is still gunning it for Dortmund in the Bundesliga and Champions League, his FUT Birthday card is his best yet in FIFA 21 with an electric 91 overall rating. If you want to grab it yourself, you’ll have to complete an SBC. Here’s how.
FIFA 21 Reus FUT Birthday SBC
Reus FUT Birthday in-game stats
Reus’ FUT Birthday card is his first card in the 90s for FIFA 21, beating out his base card of 85 and his 87-rated Rulebreakers card.
As we’ve become accustomed to with Reus, he has amazing stats across the board, including 91 Pace, 90 Dribbling and Shooting, and 88 Passing.
With the right chemistry style (we recommend Engine), he becomes an absolute god on the left with five-star skills and four-star weak foot.
