FIFA 21: FUT Birthday Jeremiah St. Juste Review

Jeremiah St. Juste has arrived in the FUT Birthday promotion via this limited-time Squad Building Challenge.

The Dutch centre back was a fan favourite in FIFA 20, and he's sure to be the same in FIFA 21 after the release of this stacked card!

Thinking of completing the SBC? Let's run you through everything you need to know.

FUT Birthday St. Juste

The Dutch centreback has jumped to an 86 OVR on this FUT Birthday card, whilst he also possesses a whopping 5* skills.

5* Skills

The FUT Birthday promotion grants each player a boost to either their weak foot or their skill moves.

EA have opted for the former for the Bundesliga centre back. 88-rated pace and 5* skills. You sure this is a centre back?

Boosted Stats

St Juste has jumped up from a 74 OVR to an 86 OVR on this new card, his first special card of the FIFA 21 year.

As far as ball playing centre backs go, you won't find many better.

St. Juste has 88-rated pace and 85-rated dribbling. Whilst his 86 defending and 84 physicality bode well for those important defensive duties.

Here is the full list of his upgraded base stats:

• PACE - 88 OVR (+3)
• SHOOTING - 70 OVR (+12)
• PASSING - 78 OVR (+13)
• DRIBBLING - 85 OVR (+12)
• DEFENDING - 86 OVR (+11)
• PHYSICALITY - 84 OVR (+11)

At 6'0" with M/H work-rates, could St Juste have jumped to the top of the Bundesliga centre back standings?

Cost

This St. Juste SBC will set you back 400,000 coins on PlayStation, 385,000 coins on Xbox and 450,000 coins on PC.

He's one of the more expensive SBC's of the FUT Birthday promotion, but is he worth the asking price?

Links

He may be expensive, but St Juste does have the benefit of a favourable league and nation combination.

Bundesliga

As far as Bunesliga links go, we'd be looking at either FUT Future stars Tapsoba (500k) or UCL Live Lukas Klostermann (290k) to partner St Juste at the heart of your defence.

Although those who completed either Player Moments Jerome Boateng or End of an Era Sven/Lars Bender are now in luck, as they have yet another Bundesliga option.

There are many goalkeeper options from the Bundesliga, though we'd opt for Manuel Neuer (65k).

Netherlands

There are plenty of nations options too, with the obvious choice being Virgil Van Dijk (80k)

If you picked up the highly acclaimed Sean Klabier ShowDown card then you're in luck, as St Juste could be the perfect partner for the Ajax man.

If you're opting for a Dutch keeper, the only end-game option is Edwin van der Sar (400k+)

Review

This is a decent card, though we can't help but feel he is a little overpriced.

We we're really hoping for 90+ rated pace, and as good as 5* skills are, it's a novelty on a centre back.

If you have the fodder to complete him for under 200k, then we'd say go ahead, but we won't be completing this one from scratch.
