84 - IF
5.0
Baby Ibrahimovic
By snypomaniac, 02-11-2017

I bought IF Arnautovic as an investment, but I was surprised how good he was when I changed him in game into ST or CF/CAM. He's a "baby Ibrahimovic", which means that he's not as good as a finisher, but he's faster and more versatile than the old man.

Especially as a ST he's a beast. He's fast enough to counter, he's strong and clinical in the box, and most importantly (what makes Ibra still one of the best in this Fifa) he's AGILE as well, which has a huge benefit in Fifa 18. Put him on balanced and he'll decide wisely whether he has to get in behind or be a target man, or a false 9.

He's an exceptional ball-holder, either at ST/CF or at CAM positions. Using him as ST with 4-2-3-1 with fast winger CAMs (put your initial fast ST like Jesus on the wing) works wonders: he can hold up and deliver a pass, and he's fast enough to run into the box to receive it back and score.

Many times I bring in a striker super sub in late game and put Arnautovic at CM, he can bully everyone with his strength.

Ball holder

Good dribbling AND great physical is exceptional in this game

Can even defend as CM

Can hold up the opponent's attack

Wins many penalties

Very cheap for a 84 rated in form!


Do NOT use him as LM, would be such a waste. I changed him into a LS, starting with 4-3-2-1, then changing formation.

Medium-medium workrates SHOULD be a problem, but how is he my top goalscorer then?

The best ST so far

So, idk where to start. I love this Card, for me its the best "cheap" striker ingame. In my opinion there are some attributes, which makes him unreal. At first, he got the "Flair"-Trait and 85 Curve. He will score nearly ALL curved low driven shots in the box! Seriously, this is ridiculous! And his finesse long shots are huge too. The next attribute is compusure. For me its very important to have strikers w...

The complete striker!

I needed a winger to switch to a striker in game to partner my untradeable TOTS Aguero and I was looking at 87 son, baby henry and MOTM alexis. But I wanted someone quite cheap as i wanted coins left for TOTS SBCs and stuff... Then I saw this card and with a hunter card he looked like such a beast, and he REALLY WAS! Honestly, he is sometimes more effective than Aguero! I would actually compare him to CR7 (which I really di...

What A Player!

If you are looking for a outstanding, piece of machinery to play upfront. Then this is the man for you!.Not only is he 6,4 but he has 90 strength and 82 pace (with a hunter that is 94!) plus he has 4 star skills!I have played only 10 games with this card and for me he has scored 22 goals and he has got 6 assists in div 1.I think he has got all the traits that a perfect ST needs. his ball control is outs...
