Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to add a pacey Olivier Giroud into your FIFA 21 Ultimate Team squad.

Two new Player Moments cards have been released, with Olivier Giroud and Adrien Rabiot available to unlock through objectives and SBCs respectively.

Take a look Giroud’s new card and how to unlock it below.

Player Moments Objectives

We are used to seeing Player Moments SBC’s, but now we have a Player Moments objective card to unlock in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team.

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud is the new card available to unlock, and with extra pace this is one card you won’t want to miss out on.

The card celebrates his incredible goal against Crystal Palace back in 2017, wich earnt him the goal of the year award.

Find out how to unlock the new card below.

SPEED BOOST - Giroud has had a huge boost to his pace stats

The requirements are as follows:

  • Smart Setup – Assist two goals from crosses using LWs
  • Puskas Perfection – Score a Finesse goal in three separate matches using French players
  • Premier Class – Score ten goals using Premier League forwards
  • French Finery – Win eight matches with at least two French players in your Starting XI
  • Scoring with Significance – Score in 15 separate matches using Premier League players

Player Review

There is no logical reason as to why you would not unlock this card.

The objectives are straight forward so should not take too much of a grind.

I don't think we have to explain why a pacey Olivier Giroud is going to be a threat either, we certainly aren't looking forward to facing him.

A +45 increase to his pace stats gives Giroud a pretty impressive 84 Pace, not bad for a 6'4" striker with 96 Strength.

All that and we have not started on his shooting. Ridiculous 99 Heading Accuracy and 89 Jumping mean Giroud is a huge aerial threat.

He is not bad on the ground either, boasting 89 Ball Control, 92 Finishing and 95 Shot Power.

French Connection

If one French star was not enough, then add Adrien Rabiot to your squad too.
