Not so Hidden Gem

My preferred Formation in UT this year has been the 4-1-2-1-2. I like having a balance of a strong ST matched with a fast one. For a long time I ran with Kane and OTW Salah as the front two with Rui Costa in CAM. Since prices have gone down it has been more common to see OP strikers (Van Dijk, Bailly, etc), Kane was starting to lose the impact he had had for me. I then decided to buy 88 Patrick Kluivert at the time for around 680K. He was very good, but as his price started to fall, I felt I had to buy someone with a more stable price. I chose Crespo after reading some of the comment left one the page (Thank you for those btw). He was unreal even better than Kluivert which you wouldnt think when comparing the cards. As mentioned in a previous comment he has no weakness. Kluivert sometimes felt a bit bulky and slow (possibly due to height). However, Crespo felt just as tall, if not stronger but was also the better header and finisher. Absolute game changer, and seems better than his card suggests!

Heading: for me was fantastic. Im not usually a player to use a lot of crosses, however Crespo seems to make amazing runs.
Finishing: Amazing! inside the box, either foot is ruthless. Furthermore, his long shots definitely feel better than 80. His curve shots especially seem unstoppable.
Dribbling: for someone who appears so big and bulky in the game, he moves and dribbles very well! seems to turn defenders quite easily
Passing: Long Passing isnt always perfect, but still very good, however, short passing is fantastic
Strength: He can hold players off very well, and if he has turned a defender, then you know its a guaranteed goal.
Pace: He is fast, can go around the outside of defenders, but obviously no Mo Salah for instance. But once he beats his man, with his size and strength, the defender has no chance

Hard to say any as he really has been one of the most all-rounded players I have played with, with perfect finishing.
Possibly his stamina, but 79 isnt too bad

Expensive.... Worth every penny!

I was lucky enough to pack Crespo (85) in the first week of Fifa. I thought at first that I should sell him to make alot of profit to build an awesome team from since he sells from 550k-680k depending on when you sell him.I have used him in Squad Battles and Online Divisions so far and I am a pretty average player by all accounts yet this player has made it incredibly easy for me to pull of results that ot...

Scoring machine

Crespo 85 is a real scoring machine. They were able to reproduce it faithfully. A player who kicks from any angle and who manages to get the ball in even if it hits the goalkeeper.Crespo will not be the player team that takes the ball from behind the midfield until reaching the goal, like Ronaldo. Crespo is a pure attacker and if you use him near the opponent's area he will be one of the most deadly player...

There is a reason why this 85 card is so expensive

You might think that he is expensive for a card that is 85 rated but thats because (ESPECIALLY WITH HUNTER) this guy is unreal at getting goals. The finishing is faultless for me and his pace is great. The 4 star 4 star only adds to the perfection. I was lucky enough to pack him a while back but I saw he is special after using him for a few games and I don't plan on selling him any time soon. His dribbling is also fantastic...
