Andriy Shevchenko, The Eastern Wind

By GoRoman11, 06-03-2018

Andriy Shevchenko. One of the best football players in the real life and my childhood hero, he was awesome playing for dynamo kiev and AC Milan, but it's the same in fifa 18? let's see.

I've used his 88 version at start of fifa, and i kinda liked it since he was scoring goals even without i wanted to, but he was lacking of pace and a bit frustrating to use against great defenders. Something that i thought i would be fixed on his prime version and it is.

Pace: 9/10 - I would rate his pace like that since he's fast, not the fasted player on the field like aubameyang or something like that but people seems to be underrating his pace all the time, he would make the "tank" job in a 2 ST formation, but he's able to play alone too.

Shooting: 10/10 - His shooting... OH MY GOD he has the best long shot I've tested in fifa 18 so far , he's able to score literally from everywhere and a lot of different kind of shoots.

Passing: 8/10 - I mean, you don't want to have him as a CAM since he's the fucking andriy shevchenko so his pass i fine, he can play perfect in 2ST formations and do some great passes and his FK are fucking amazing.

Dribbling: 9/10 - His dribbling is something that I don't matter that much apart from composture (85) which is good, he will not fail from inside the box and when you use him on the run you will not feel him slow or "fat"

Defending: 7/10: - He's an ST so apart of his heading accuracy which is awesome, nothing else to say here

Physicality: 9/10: - Here comes something very important to me and it's his stamina, everyone seems to feel like he got tired around minute 70 and it's FAKE. I'm using him upfront with Prime hernandez and i sub hernandez out always and i never sub off sheva since he's not the ST who will do the long pacey runs, he's the finisher, the one who will be around the box ready to bang that long shot who will make you win, away from that i'm using him with hawk so i didn't felt him weak in any way at all

Work Rates: I felt the need of explaining this apart and it's because some people will be scared of this. sometimes he will go to CAM spot and that could be bad if you don't have a team who support this. I paired him with Prime hernandez (ST) and SIF Giuliano (CAM 86) which are 2 players which are always in the right spot so seeing sheva running to the midfield to try to steal some balls or put pressure on the rival wasn't bad at all. since he was adding extra pressure to the rival.

Overall Rating: 9,5/10 - Even when i liked him in every single aspect i can't give him a 10 when there is a lot of other ST (a lot more expensive yes) better than him like R9 etc but IMO if you know how to use him, he's amazing and worth every single coin.

A class of his own

After using the 88 version for a short time and the impact he left on me i decided to save for his prime and didn't regret it, he is just amazing in every thing i could score in almost every situation even the ones that i thought impossible,his pace, pass and dribbling are way better than what they look like even the stamina is not bad at all, sometimes he is the only player standing until the 120th minutei ha...

Ultimate Finisher

I feel that the previous review has not done this man justice, that is why I am writing this review. You cannot judge a man after 4 games, I don't feel like I can after 30 games however I feel I have a slightly better idea over such a large investment. After sinking most of my coins into Del Piero SBC and reaping the benefits I had built myself up to 800k and was about to pull the trigger on the Van Basten SBC. As soon as S...

Best striker ever

I only used him for 11 games but i absolutely love him. He is the best striker i used entire game. H/H work rate would seem as a problem but he covers it with positioning.
