EA Sports added a 95-rated FUTTIES version of Thiago Mendes from Lyon to FIFA 21 today. This item is available through the squad-building challenge (SBC) menu in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team.
This is Mendes’ first special card in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team if you disregard his FUTTIE Nominee version, which didn’t change any of his stats. Players had to vote between a 77-rated Thiago Mendes and 75-rated Todibo two days ago to decide who would receive an overall upgrade—and Mendes won.
EA generally upgraded all of Mendes’ skills, including Shooting (+21), Dribbling (+19), Physical (+19), Passing (+18), Pace (+18), and Defending (+18), when you compare this new card to his 77-rated gold version.
He has high stats with all skills being 88 and above, including a 96-rated Dribbling and a 94-rated Physical. He also has four-star skill moves and weak foot. If you apply the Shadow hunter style, you’ll increase his Pace (+8) and Shooting (+6), which will maximize his Sprint Speed.
This SBC costs around 145,650 FUT coins on PlayStation, 175,000 on Xbox, and 182,450 on PC. If you’re interested in completing this SBC, you’ll have to turn in threen squads: Olympique Lyonnais, Ligue 1, and Top Form.
