Erling Haaland’s Shot On FIFA 21 Is So Powerful It Breaks The Net

Borussia Dortmund forward and all-round powerhouse Erling Braut Haaland has one of the most impressive cards in this year's FIFA Ultimate Team; and it's extremely affordable.

The Norwegian forward, who has scored 27 goals in 27 games for club and country in 2020, is one of the most improved players on FIFA 21 with his 84-rated gold card valued at around 50k coins.

Haaland started FIFA 20 as a 73-rated silver card during his spell at RB Salzburg but the 20-year-old was soon given an incredible 13 upgrades in last season's version, including a 95-rated Team of the Season card.

His stats have improved dramatically in FIFA 21 and quite clearly, EA have noticed how hard he strikes the ball in real life judging by his IF card's 95-rated shot power.

I mean, just check out this viral clip of Haaland's immense shot power breaking the net.

Haaland may have seen his shooting go up by 17 points but his pace stat has only gone up by four; something that seems a tad harsh considering his burst of speed in real life.

For example, in last season's Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain, the 20-year-old covered the whole pitch inside ten seconds during a breathtaking counter attack.

He was desperate to get on the scoresheet and stormed forward to the surprise of everybody watching.

In fact, Haaland covered 60 metres of the pitch in 6.64 seconds - a quite incredible feat.

Haaland's pace is underwhelming, to say the least, but an incredibly overpowered speed boost glitch on FIFA has been discovered to help you out.

YouTuber MattHDGamer has revealed the tip that will give the Norwegian an extra inch in the pace department.

Every player usually takes a few seconds to reach their maximum speed but if you hold L1 on PS4 (LB on Xbox One) and dribble with the left joystick, immediately let go of L1 (LB) and then press R2 (RT), your players will race away.
