Versus Mertens Review - Who To Pick?

We can't help but feel a little underwhelmed with the latest addition to the FUT Versus promotion.

Neither of these cards are bad, and both will make a decent addition to most Serie A sides, but without a boost to either Merten's weak foot or his skill moves, neither provide enough value for the 120,000 asking price.

If you are going to complete either then we would recommend the Fire version, but we'd avoid completing this SBC and opt for Dybala instead.
