Kluivert - best striker so far
By alleyezonme, 15-11-2017

I played Kluivert in a 41212 (2) squad. At the start of the game i always switched from the 4321 to the 41212 (2).

He played as a right striker alongside IF Alessandrini and in front of Hazard who played as my CAM.

I played like 80% of these games in online seasons and 20% Squad Battles


The reason I bought him was because I always used G. Jesus on this position before but i really wanted a striker who can hold on to the ball (strength, height, ball controll) and play some decent passes but still has a good shot and decent pace.


Pace: He's not as fast as Mbappe or Bale is but he really felt fast especially for his height and strength. I used Lukaku but Kluivert was way faster than him. I expected him to feel like 80 pace, he felt like 90.


Shooting: That's by far his best stat. Even it's just 84 on his base card stat with "just" (for a striker legend) 86 finishing and 79 long shots he's an absolute beast scoring goals. Doesn't matter from what angle or how far away. I scored many long shots, low driven outside and inside the box, finessed and power shots (no you can't feel his 73 curve, it's just fine). I tried Van Basten (89 rated) before but i really think Kluivert is the better shooter.


Dribbling: I was a little bit scared of his dribbling before i played with him. But just after the first game I really felt he was a Legend and his dribbling stat feels much better than it says. 80 Dribbling and 1.88m tall? He feels way better than 89 Van Basten, Lukaku, Aubameyang. His ball controll is on point and he never felt sluggish. Sure you won't dribble past 4 defenders like you could with Neymar but I never had a problem with him.


Passing: 85 short passing and 83 vision on a striker? Yes please. You could easily play him as a CAM and that stat made the difference for me to other tall strikers like Lukaku.


Physical: His heading and jumping is next level. No problem outjumping (is that even a word?) tall and strong defenders like Bailly or even Boateng. His strength was good but he's not untouchable. Sometimes he loses a 1 on 1 against a strong defender but not too often. Shielding worked just perfect. His stamina wasn't an issue for me since he has low defensive workrates and he really wasn't tracking back. Never ran out of stamina after 90min and can't remember after 120 min tbh.


Defending: Well I don't care.

The Man

I use the big guy in a 4231 formation at the moment but his main strength was during his spell as the ST for my 2 433(4) squads. However the only real change now is he is sharing the goals around a bit more and using his fantastic link u play to bring his cams into the game. I use him with a hunter chem and will reach his 200th game for me some time today.His current stats stand at Played 191 Goals 282 Assists 171 Ye...

Kluivert=goals

So I was struggling to find a striker partner for POTM Mané. I tried Gabriel Jesus, Lacazette, Morata and even Son at 7 chem, but I didnt like any of them that much. So I decided to try this guy, and OHH MY F*CKING GOD it was worth it! I used him with a Hunter chem style and played 80 of my games in the weekend league with him, and the rest in Squad Battles on legendary. 163 goals and

Best striker i've used

So i bought kluivert for 711k and it's the best 700k i've spent. He is fast, strong, quite agile and just bangs in goals. I played 1 division 1 season and won the title with ease. I also played 5 fut champs games with this card and he has no trouble to score.
