85 - Icon

4.5

Expensive.... Worth every penny!

By HungOverUTD, 12-11-2017

I was lucky enough to pack Crespo (85) in the first week of Fifa. I thought at first that I should sell him to make alot of profit to build an awesome team from since he sells from 550k-680k depending on when you sell him.

I have used him in Squad Battles and Online Divisions so far and I am a pretty average player by all accounts yet this player has made it incredibly easy for me to pull of results that otherwise I would have lost. He currently has a record of 277 goals and 127 assists in 183 games. He is involved in just over 2.2 goals per game. I have only seen this kind of return on a few OP cards in the past, especially over such a long period of time.

For how the card actually plays, slap a hunter on him and you will score pretty much any shots that you care to take. His finesse shots are amazing as are his long shots (his low-driven are too but they are OP anyway). He shields the ball well and his strength is a great bonus, especially if you play a team with little strength up-front (think Timo Werner (82) ). Finally, his runs are absolutely beastly. They either drag defenders completely out of place and allow you alot more space, or split the defense in such a way that a simple through-ball will result in a goal 9 times out of 10.

Pace (Put a Hunter and get him to 97P overall)

Shooting (Honestly, shoot from anywhere and you'll either score or get a rebound goal)

Strength (If you use him at CAM or as a drop-deep ST, you will be able to hold the ball up well for runners to give options)

Fear Factor (Often people will play more panicky when faced with this ICON)

Corners (He has scored around 25 goals from corners for me. Near post is his bread and butter)

His cost (You're looking at 550k at an absolute min during the Market Crash)

Passing (He isn't the most accurate passer if you like to use slow build-up play)

Stamina (Stamina of 79 means he will be tired and not able to bomb past players at around the 60th min.)

Scoring machine

Crespo 85 is a real scoring machine. They were able to reproduce it faithfully. A player who kicks from any angle and who manages to get the ball in even if it hits the goalkeeper.Crespo will not be the player team that takes the ball from behind the midfield until reaching the goal, like Ronaldo. Crespo is a pure attacker and if you use him near the opponent's area he will be one of the most deadly player...

Sensational

I am an average FIFA player. I qualify to weekend league off and on. I got lucky with a couple of SBC pack pulls and ended up with 2m+ in the bank. I wanted to give icons a shot as I'd previously used IF Werner, SBC Cavani or loan versions of Hernandez and van Basten. They were all good, I never quite moved up a level. So I thought the Lunar New Year is a good time to buy and went shopping. I bought Larsson 87 and Crespo 85...

Best Striker I've used in any FIFA

Where do I even start with this card, I bought him for around 585,000 coins and would happily pay another 200,000+ for 85 Crespo. He feels absolutely amazing to play with and I cannot stress enough how good this card actually is.
