92 - SIF

5.0

The Marksman

By spind0octa, 12-02-2018

I was excited for this card, mainly because I have used NIF Higuain for a long time and believe he is one of the best cards in the game. He always gets a bad rap from other players, possibly because of his pace.

Firstly I should say, what an insane price for a card like this. A 92 rated player for 350k at time of writing is great value. Again, probably because of his pace, but if you can get the hang of this card effectively, it's not an issue. If you're after after a speedster to run onto through balls, turn away now. Higuain is a strong and clincal striker who is a beast in the air, on holding up balls and clinical finishing. Run him alongside a fast poacher type player or in front of an attacking clinical CAM

For this card I recommend a Marksman chemistry style and will address his stats with Marksman

PACE; let's start with the elephant in the room. 82 pace isn't great, but this isn't the type of player to play through balls to and to blaze past defenders. It's certainly serviceable, and it feels like a decent upgrade on his NIF
SHOOTING; this is probably the most important stat. 99 positioning, volleys, positioning, finishing and shot power, with 95 long shots. It quite literally doesn't get any better than this, this is icon level finishing, press B to score. He has a great finesse shot but can just as easily power them into the top corner. I don't recommend low driven necessarily, he's got a lot more in his locker than that
PASSING; again, noticeably better than his NIF, Higuain does a lot of passing as he'll be the focal point of your attacks but his vision feels much stronger now, letting him make those through balls to wingers or his strike partner
DRIBBLING; due to his pace you're not going to go past players but this is important for stopping low driven passes and holding off defenders, and there's no one better in the game
DEFENDING; mostly irrelevant but due to his size and strength he can do a job intercepting and tackling simply due to his size
PHYSICAL; this is really important and this card upgrades his strength to unstoppable levels. He can now hold off basically anyone with ease and with 93 jumping and the latest patch he really is a handful

Price; you're getting a Prime MVB for less than half the price with better work rates and tradeable
Strength; an absolute beast who can shrug off even the Baillys of this world
Jumping; noticeably better than his NIF
Finishing; some of the best in the game and 4* WF

Overall, Higuains 2IF elevates him to icon level as a target man. A fun and different card to use for any Serie A player

Pace, but not a dealbreaker as he doesn't need it
Stamina if you press defenders, leave him on Default interceptions

NIF Higuaín Review

Don't be fooled by Higuaín's awful card stats. He plays extremely well in game, particularly when used as a target man or alongside a pacey striker.With a hunter chemistry style, he doesn't feel slow at all, but his dribbling is not very smooth due to his low agility and balance. His passing also feels better than his stats suggest, and he gets a surprising number of assists, especially in a two striker f...

Perfect Target Man!

I think the upgrade is minimal but still for 200k this is an absolute bargain I assure you!Forget about speed... He is by no means slow but you don't want him running about like crazy due to his 77 Stamina. Put him on Stay Central and Target Man. As for chemstyle, I think MArksman gives him that jumping boost to match his heading stats. He is 184cm/6ft tall so it is a no brainer. Also that small boost to A...
