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
By degenerate2uk, 19-10-2017

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 Yellows 5 Reds 0. my games are fairly mixed between squad battles and online seasons with a few fut championship games thrown into it (work weekends)

He is strong and has very good short passing for a striker his heading and strength really shine through on corners and near post crosses and his 81 volleys are underrated to say the least. This guy has a tomahawk missile attached to every volley he hits. his pace is good for such a big guy and his attack positioning and finishing are both major plus point.

All in all i cant see myself selling him anytime soon, and the fact i use him in 2 separate squads goes to show how much i love the guy.

Best player i have played with at sub 1 million after paying 880k for him

Strength

Finishing

Heading

Amazing short passing

Target man play

Goes missing when you need him most every now and again.

Chases back to much for someone with low defensive work rate

Drifts wide to often unless on Stay central instruction

Can be difficult to turn a defender when closed down well

Kluivert=goals
By CheersJeff, 01-11-2017

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 93 assists in 113 games speaks for it self.


For me he was the perfect striker. Big, strong and insane in the air, pretty quick, amazing shooting, really good passing and decent dribbling. This guy can literally score any type of goal. I often scored goals bye getting in behind, and even if the defenders catches up to him, he got the strength to keep them away. Good movment and but his stamina is poor, and disappears in the in of the game.


So if u got 800k++, I will definitely recommend that you buy this beast!

BUY HIM!!!
By peter86, 04-12-2017

Dude this guy is so freakin' good!!!

I had so many strikers in my Team (Lukaku, Mbappe, Griezmann and Suarez) and I swear, NO ONE can touch him. I spend 830k for him and I was a bit afraid of spending so much money on one player, but it was the right decision! He is a clinical finisher, when he is on the ball near the box or inside the box, nearly every shot is a goal. It seems, that he is a cheat! Even though his longshots are really really good.

There are just 2 con's: first: he feels a bit slow but it is enough to pass center backs, secondly: his agility and balance isn't the best.

But in the end I can just recommand this guy to you. If you are searching for a clinical finisher, who is scoring from nearly everywhere - Kluivert is the right man!

WOW!!

Kluivert is the perfect all-rounded striker for under 1 million coins in Fifa 18. His good pace and fantastic strength adds up to be a great striker. I bought Kluivert as I struggled to find a striker to pair with Anthony Martial in a 4-1-2-1-2(2) formation and boy did he impress. Im a Division 1 winner and average around Gold 1 and he produces magic every game.

Combination of height and jumping- wins many headers

Shot power and finishing is fantastic

4 star skills/weak foot

Feels fast even for his height

Strong

Passing- great for hold up play
