Player Review
91 - Icon
I play the 4-2-3-1 formation and I was looking for a new CAM with great overall stats to fill this role. I liked the idea of using an Icon in this position as this would allow some creative freedom as to the players I can use around him. I originally set out on purchasing the 90 rated Bergkamp due to his insane card stats and H/M work rates, but then I stumbled across this prime 91 rated Hagi card. If you compare the two cards side by side, Hagi has the apparent better stats and has more IGS than the 90 Bergkamp card. I decided to take a gamble and go against my instinct, purchising this Hagi card.
Hagi is very good in game, but ONLY when he has the ball. He is quick to distribute the ball and can sometimes find himself in some great attacking opportunies. However, my biggest issue with this card, is that irrispective of his amazing stats, he completely dissapears in game and that is not what you want from this card, especially when he costs over 700k.
In hindsight, I wish I went ahead and purchased the 90 Rated Bergkamp. Although Bergkamps face card stats are worse than Hagi's, Bergkamp is much taller in game and also feels stronger and faster too.
Overall, I will be looking to sell my 91 Hagi and replace with the 90 Rated Bergkamp.
Amazing face card stats
Keeps hold of the ball very well
Great passing distribution
Not the quickest of players for attacking CAM in 4-2-3-1
Not the tallest of players for your midfield
Medium / Low workrates (not great for an attacking CAM)
Can completely vanish from the game
Not as good as other alternatives in his position for the same or less coins
