89 - PTG-Spring
4.5
Goal Machine
By xKiMmEnx, 20-03-2018

I won this card in SBC PTG Untradeable.

I put Hunter chem card on him and gave him a go in a strong squad.

Played 2 games (scored 2 and 2 assists) with him on top with Messi IF - gave him instructions stay central and go behind, whilst Messi Messi was instructed to be a false 9.

Straight away I saw that they fit perfect together and decided to keep him.

He played all 40 WL games for me and became the top scorer with 36 goals and he got 18 assists. His partner Messi netted 18 times and had 23 assists - manly to Icardis goals.


His pace is very good with Hunter Chem Card. My playstyle don’t require speedy players on top, but he did the job when sprinting past defenders. With that said, he is not a player who’s positioning

gives lots of counter opportunities, because of his work rate Med/Low. He is more a box striker, hitting deadly shots just outside and he’s very effective inside the boxs with rapid shots and good positioning. He will hit the target with every heading opportunities with 99 jumping and 99 heading accuracy. He can dribble, but with 3 star skills he’s limited to basic skill moves.


The only problem i had with him is the passing. But that may be down to my playstyle - but he lacks tiki-taka touch. He lacks the vision to link up fast passing play. But this is a minor detail as long as

he scores 0,95 goals per game.


I can recommend this card to everyone seeking a strong target type, and a loyal box player - and those who have a gameplay that don’t focus on counter only.

If you’re a counter guy - sell him

Buy this Behemoth

This TOTS Icardi is quite possibly the best player I've ever used in any Fifa. His pace is faster than a fat child when he smells freshly made dinner. His finishing is unreal and I cant remember if he has missed a single shot thats how impactful he is. When you use this card your mind and body transcends the realm of humanity in order to visualize how sexual this card is. This card is more wet then your nan when Wheel of Fo...

The best ST in game.

The best ST I had never used. He is very fast, i can't spot the difference between his pace and TOTS Vardy's pace. His shooting is unbelievable, inside the box he will change every shoot for a gol, and outside the box he is a beast too (81 long shots is a lie). His passings is quite good, short pass incredible and long pass good. But his dribbiling is amazing, i had never used a player strong and tall like him with that dri...

AMAZING

Icardi is absolutely fantastic, you need another striker to pair him though. Thats why I have Mertens alongside. He scores every game even when you don´t dominate the game just give the ball to Icardi and tap the shoot button - goal. his headers are absolutely fantastic, he wins every aerial duel after a long goal kick from the keeper and scores a lot from corners and free kicks. he is not that agile and has only got 3* sk...
