Strengths

Shooting (90)

Indeed shooting of Morgan is her greatest asset. Finesse shots seem to find the back of the net from almost any angle or distance. Hence it make her a challenging option in front of goal. Long shots, often her weakest stat still manage to deliver accurate finishes, showcasing her versatility as a striker.

 

Positioning and Off-the-Ball Movement

Intelligence Morgan on the field is remarkable. Whether it is darting into open space or hanging back to receive a pass her positioning makes her easy to find in risky areas. So it allows for quick transitions and raised goal-scoring options.

 

Dribbling(89)

Again her dribbling is another standout feature. Despite not being the quickest forward her ball control in tight situations is impressive. So this makes her valuable when trying to break through dense defensive lines or when playing in high pressure situations.

Areas of Improvement

Pace(85)

While her dribbling and shooting compensate for this pace of Morgan is far from ideal for those who favor counter attacking styles. If you are looking for a striker who can outrun defenders she may not be your best option. However using chemistry styles like Hawk or Hunter can help mitigate this issue and provide a decent speed boost.

 

Passing(81)

As previously mentioned, her short passing is fine but her long passing leaves a bit to be desired. In a formation where wingers or midfielders make long runs Morgan may need help to link up play effectively from deeper positions.

 

Physical(77)

Even though Alex Morgan is not famous for her strength she performs well mainly with the Hawk chemistry style that boost her strength. She can protect the ball effectively. It is a mist when she is under pressure or waiting for teammates. She is also good at winning headers but this isn't the main part of her playing style.

 

 

 

Part 3: Chemistry and Squad Fit The Struggle of the NWSL

One of the more tricky aspects of using Morgan is fitting her into your team. Being part of the NWSL or National Women's Soccer League there are not as many toptier players to link her with compared to major leagues like the Premier League or La Liga. So it means creative solutions are needed for chemistry. It is mainly for competitive play in FUT Champs.

However EA did offer a nice workaround with the release of the Swanson SBC and the Watt SBC in FC25. For those who managed to complete SBC Watts, she offers an excellent link as you will able to slot Morgan directly into the center of a 4-3-3 formation flanked by Watt and Yamal. With this setup, Morgan became the heart of the attack and the chemistry issues were effectively solved.

 

 

Step 4: Chemistry Style Choices: Hawk vs. Hunter

Choosing the right chemistry style is a must to make the most of skills of Alex. We recommend going with the Hawk style because it improves her Pace, Shooting and Physical strength. So this combo is great because it makes her faster and helps her push past defenders.

Another popular choice is Hunter. It focuses mainly on boosting her Pace. Since her shooting is already very good many players may prefer Hunter for that extra speed. Both styles are good options. It depend on how you like to play.

4-2-3-1 Formation

For those who prefer a lone striker formation, Morgan is ideal for holding up the ball and waiting for support. Her dribbling and strength make her an ideal target player. Hence it allows your midfielders and wingers to join the attack before she makes her move in the box.

 

5-2-2-1 Formation

In this setup, Morgan can play as a mobile striker with wing-backs that provide width and creativity. Her placing allows her to make the most of crosses and through balls. It is mainly in counter attacking situations.
