87 - Icon

4.5

Zanetti

By aidanbudd, 21-03-2018

Okay so I packed 87 zanetti in the guaranteed base icon pack from the fut birthday sbcs. Took a gamble as it cost me 150K plus players in club and i am now left with 10K and an average bpl squad. Obviously i was hoping for one of the top players ie: ronaldo, pele or maradona. But i was thinking this is unlikely. When i opened the pack and saw zanetti i was a bit disappointed as for me this was a high cost sbc. However my friend had told me he was a good pack so i decided to try him about for a few games instead of submitting him in a prime icon sbc. And omg this is the best fut decision ive ever made. Ive played 20 games so far with him in online seasons (div 3 and 4) and he has been insane. Ive used toty marcelo (in an online draft) but this zanetti surpasses him by far. Yes looking at his stats he does not seem too good but apply a shadow chemistry style and you have one of the best full backs in the game. This boosts him to 98 pace (with 99 acceleration) and 97 defending (99 standing tackle and 98 sliding) combined with his 95 YES 95 in game stamina he is insane. He can dribble all the way up the pitch, making overlapping runs on mane, and cross it into the box (DO NOT SHOOT WITH THIS GUY, 59 SHOOTING MEANS VERY BAD) but his crossing is great and if you loose the ball he will run all the way back without loosing much energy and tackle any high rated attacker.

I would definitely recommend buying this guy if you have a spare 350k, he makes any team complete and trust me, is worth much more than spending a mil on prime roberto carlos.

Overall absolutely insane player. Best i have ever used in any FIFA

El Tractor

When i was building my team i was looking for a LB i saw on the market a fresh Zanetti for only 430k (xbox one) and i thought... why not give it a go? I may only loose tax and thats all. Before that i used Jordi Alba and Theo Hernandez at LB and i liked both of them, but now i so used to the legend El Tractor, i do not want to switch back.Why i like him so much?F...

Always been looking for a fast lb to match people who play speed stars like martial on the right side of their attack. I tried Alba, Alaba and a couple of others but Zanetti was the solution to this. His workrates allows you to overlap to create more options to attack. His crossing is amazing too if you've a target man or a good header swing the ball into the box.
