Luis Muriel got a superior card in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team. The Colombian is therefore an attractive player for many of you. At least, we hope so. Because anyone who has not yet become aware of the Atalanta striker should take a closer look now.

Luis Muriel's 82 OVR are actually nothing special in FIFA 22, but if you take a closer look, you will be amazed. We don't want to spoil you, so take a look at his stats first:

This boy ends the career of every central defender! No, seriously, Muriel not only runs away from every opponent and scores a lot of goals, but can also skill very well with 4-star skills and 4.star weak foot! OP, but an expensive card? Not really. In reality, you only have to pay 1k (!) for Muriel.

WTF, EA? Why is this card so cheap? Many of you might think that his price will increase now. And you're right, that could happen. That's why it's better to buy him quickly before half of the FIFA community notices how Muriel is sweetening every Weekend League. But we also have to say that Luis Muriel had these stats for years, the 8-stars are not new either. So, why do we like him that much?

We're in a new FIFA. The meta has changed dramatically, and it seems Muriel has benefited from it. For every starter team, you should keep the striker in mind. And if you are rich, you can definitely use him as a super sub. There are many ways, but it would be stupid to ignore him. So, make sure you turn on the console or the web app and build a great team with him.
