All hail Kuningas, Jari Litmanen

By Zacargo, 04-12-2017

First of all, as the center piece of my midfield Jari has the most time on the ball and that's when you notice he does lack in physique isn't one of his strongest attributes, but then again you wouldn't buy a CAM for him to act like a CDM.

Now that's out of the way let's talk about his strongest attributes: Passing, dribbling and shooting. His pace isn't phenomenal. but he runs through defenses like a cheetah and finishes excellently in the box. Low driven, L2 shots, volleys and free kicks won't be an issue as only his heading isn't at the same level as the rest of his shooting statistics. And by god his passing. Almost all of his passes arrive and it just feels wonderful having that much control over the game with just one player.

I use him in my BPL team and he basically hands the ball to Jesus. Always available for passes and gives an excellent through ball to my wingers, Mané and Mkhitaryan. Before him I've used David Silva, Forsberg, Asensio and many more, but none of them are compared to the way Jari plays. However, I would suggest Thiago Alcantara. Jari may be taller, stronger and better at finishing, but Thiago has a similar style of play and makes the same runs as he does for a lower price.

Finally, as the centerpiece of my midfield Jari is a force to be reckoned with and is the best CAM I've used since FIFA '09

Passing, every ball finds a player

Dribbling. Imagine a soft piece of butter. Jari is the knife.

Shooting, excellent finishing and a wonderful free kick.

Physique, can get bullied off the ball

Price, always a disadvantage when it comes to icons.

Best CAM I have eber used

By Fifacrazy4, 04-01-2018

amazing for me last year and its the same story this year, he is the cam that everyone needs in their team got him for 635k about a month and a half ago and hes definetly worth the 200k that i would be losing after tax. he will carry your team

shooting- close range and can bang in a longshot

passing- exactly what u expect from an 88 rated icon

dribbling- really good ball control

strength- not the strongest at holding off defenders but most of the time he manages

Flying Finn

By ivanpohdelong, 20-02-2018

i play a 41212 and the top of the diamond is a problem spot for me.

cant seem to find the right player who can create and score.

until i found jari.

I changed his position to CF. and he has been a revelation so far.

i slapped a catalyst on him and his vision is amazing.thru passes to my strikers are as good as KDB. and his finishing is sublime. scoring a far number of goals. about 16 in 24 so far. not too shabby.,

passing

shooting

movement

strength and height.

The superb MEI

By Kradran, 02-01-2018

Stop searching, this is your MEI.

I searched for a long time a MEI to complete a mid with Vidal, Robben and/or Reus to provide Lewandowisk, Aguero and Messi.

I tried Hagi 89, Berkamp 87, De Bruyne, Kross, Goretzka IF 84, Thiago Alcântara, James Rodeigez, Ribery, Rafael IF 86, Tolisso IF 84, Max Kruse IF 84, Brandt IF 83 and Reus.

Reus and Robben are ok, but after find Laudrup 85 in a pack I start to search a Icon.

As Zacargo said in your review, he "has the most time on the ball" helping Att and Def and I thik both of Work Rate should be High (Def is Mid).

The work rate is the big diference between Hagi and Bergkamp that sometimes were a ghost in the game.

Hagi has better numbers, but misses a lot of passes and easy chance of goals, Jari works wonderful, like a Messi in the mid, with good pace, effective dribbling, and high accurace in Passes, Long Shots and Finishing.

Short Passing

Dribbling

Finishing

Stamina: like Vidal finish two games

Work Rate Att and Def

Price: but he is a Icon

Crossing: misses somes chances, passing to the def

Strenght: only ok, loosing the ball easy versus strong def

Long Shots: misses some chances versus good GK
