Darwin Nunez is one of the FUT sensations in FIFA 23. The Liverpool center forward is a good fit for chemistry and performance on any team.
FIFA 23 relies much of its post-launch strength on Ultimate Team. As every year, the popular game mode allows users to create the club of their dreams around the so-called articles, which can vary throughout the months with the campaigns that EA Sports celebrates. If you are looking for a center forward, you will surely put your eyes on Darwin Núñez, the Uruguayan DC of Liverpool . Worth? We tell you.
Darwin Núñez in FIFA 23 FUT: is it worth it?
As a centre-forward he is one of the best you will find in the early stages of FUT. The Uruguayan has two great virtues: physicality and pace with 86 and 89 PIR points , respectively. He accelerates very well (91), his top speed is more than decent (88) and his composure is on a par with forwards inside the meta (83). However, his type of sprinting suffers against defenders like Van Dijk, Rüdiger and Koulibaly . His controlled sprint makes him weak against sprint length. Having a maintained peak speed, he doesn’t take advantage of his excellent explosive abilities in the first few meters… nor in the last ones.
So why do we recommend Núñez? For chemistry and performance. Being from the Premier League and Liverpool allows him to match up well with a good spectrum of players in the goal. Also, his Uruguayan nationality fits if he is accompanied by players from other leagues , such as Federico Valverde (Real Madrid) and Araujo (FC Barcelona).
As for his performance on the field, he is a reliable striker with plenty of guarantees . We’d like him to have more passive traits (just CPU-quick dribble and quality shot), but he can work well on a team built for counterattacks. It is obvious that his value on the transfer market has tripled in the first weeks of the game on the market.
If you manage to catch him in the Ones to Watch version , he has a good chance of receiving the maximum possible improvement . While at Liverpool you are guaranteed 3 wins in the 8 domestic league games following publication; being the tip of the team, he can also get to be the man of the match or enter future TOTW. Both join the improvement for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, where Uruguay is one of the qualified teams. If he wins even one match he will receive another bonus. 85 on average in November? We bet yes.
