Who is Adam Marušić in FIFA 21?
Adam Marušić is a 28-year-old football player from Montenegro. He started his career with Serbian club Vozdovac, then moved to the Belgian league and made the jump to Serie A via KV Oostende. Since 2017 he has been under contract with Lazio. Still not ringing any bells for you?
Why is Adam Marušić the Most Trending FIFA 21 Defender Right Now?
Marušić joined Lazio as a right midfielder but has been moved into the right back slot on occasions. That in itself was not enough to make him a FUT staple, but Simone Inzaghi using him as a center back in a 3-5-2 formation did the trick as Marušić was selected for TOTW 29 at this position. Being a natural winger, that pace translated perfectly to CB and FIFA 21 players noticed the potential there.
FIFA 21: Adam Marušić In-Form Stats
Marušić fits into the current FIFA 21 meta perfectly. See, most center backs are not fast enough to keep up with the likes of Kylian Mbappé, hence, why a lot of players are using full backs in the center, but then another issue arises - that of height.
The Montenegrin is fast and tall (1.85m), which is the perfect sweet spot that FUT managers are looking for. The only problem he presents is that it's hard to link him. There aren't many Montenegrin Messis and Ronaldos lying around, so Marušić is pretty bad for chemistry in any non-Serie A team.
