The Legend of 'Cachavacha' in World Football
Diego Forlán is widely regarded as one of the most complete strikers of his generation. After a challenging spell at Manchester United, he found his rhythm in Spain, where he became a nightmare for defenders. At Villarreal and later Atlético Madrid, he cemented his legacy by winning the European Golden Shoe twice. His performance at the 2010 FIFA World Cup remains the stuff of legend; Forlán was awarded the Golden Ball as the tournament's best player after scoring five goals and leading Uruguay to an unexpected semifinal appearance.
- Two-time Pichichi Trophy winner in La Liga (2004-05 with Villarreal, 2008-09 with Atlético Madrid).
- 2010 FIFA World Cup Golden Ball winner and joint top scorer.
- Winner of the 2011 Copa América with Uruguay.
- Scorer of the decisive goal in the 2010 UEFA Europa League Final.
Is the Diego Forlán Fantasy FC Hero SBC Worth It?
When analyzing the cost vs. value, the Diego Forlán SBC is a premium investment. Currently, the estimated completion cost sits at 386,000 on consoles and 424,500 on PC. However, you do get a return on investment through the pack rewards, which have a combined market value of approximately 29,500. In-game, Forlán feels incredibly responsive with the Hunter or Engine chemistry style, and his 4-star weak foot ensures he is dangerous from almost any angle inside the box.
