86 - Icon
5.0
Goal Machine
By superultrajorge, 07-11-2017

At first, I was trying to find a good icon and I bought Litmanen 88 and I didn't like him and then I show this beast and I bought him for just trying him and then was when i realize that i was not going to be able to sell him because he scored 3 goals at least every single match.

Good, but not the best
By Alfred7777, 24-11-2017

He is a very good striker, but definitely not worth this money. His shooting is really good, but he couldn't score a goal with weak foot. Also I had to change him around 60-70 minute because of his stamina. In my opinion Rashford and Jesus are much better than him. At least I sold him with 50k profit.

Best striker i have used
By Jens, 08-11-2017

He is an amazing ST, i have used Get in behind and Stay central as instructions on him which i find working very well, he is in the right position all the time and his fiishing is insane.


i have him and SBC Promes as ST's and Kluivert has been the goal scoring mashine.


i've used quiet a few Icons as ST so far but i can for sure say Kluivert has been the best one for me.

Comparing him to (Hernandez 85, Larsson 86, Shevchenko 86 and,Inzaghi 87)

i would love to use Overmars next to him asap since i have found him to be a pretty good as a ST aswell so pairing them up sounds like a nice combo.

Great finishing, overpriced cause he 's an icon
By emilinho, 03-01-2018

Bought him for 500k because i wanted a clinical finisher in the front who would link with SBC Promes. Similar to Lukaku but a little bit faster and with 4* skills. He is a great finisher, has 61 goals and 26 assists in 39 games for me (mainly squad battles and online seasons) and his shooting is unreal with both right and left foot. The biggest con is his dribbling, he is surely not the player that will run between the opponent 's defenders and pass them (like son is for example). He is a very good card for me, but it' s an icon and you have to pay more than he deserves.



  • OP Finisher from both inside and outside the box
  • 4*/4*
  • One of the cheapest Icon ST 's who can really have an impact on a team
  • Dribbling
  • Overpriced (Would be a must-buy for me when he goes on 350-400k)

Good but not perfect
By SAMUEL0107, 03-01-2018

A very important thing about Kluivert which will heavily influence him in-game is that he is huge. His height is 6'2" but his character model in-game looks extremily tall and strong. In one of my games he was playing against Koulibaly and their bodies looked very similar.

I play him in both of my teams. As a lone striker in a 4231 in one team and in the other team i partner him up with SIF Lozano in a 4312.

Teams: https://www.futbin.com/18/squad/2754121 

https://www.futbin.com/18/squad/2754196


Pace: His pace stats are accurate. I would say his acceleration feels a little less than 87 and his sprint speed a little faster than 87. However you have to keep in mind that he is huge which means that even

though his acceleration doesn´t feel too fast it´s very hard for defenders to get to him because he just powers past them.


Shooting: His shooting overall is good but nothing special. He makes good runs and is in good postions. The shot power on him is very good which means he can score long shots even if his long shot stats

arent the best, but don´t expect too much from them. I have to say I was expecting a little more from his finishing. In general it´s good but inconsistent at times, especially on his left foot where he

lacks a accuracy. However he was able to score some nice goals from bad angles and on his weak foot too, so maybe I have to get more used to him.


Passing: He picked up quite a lot of assists for me which indicates that he is good for playing one-twos and he is involved in the built-up play. Again good but nothing special.


Dribbling: His dribbling is surprisingly good considering how huge and tanky this guy is. His ball control is very good. If you play a ball into him even when it´s a lobbed ball he is able to control it instantly. In

addition to that he has a very good ball control even while sprinting and he can turn very fast for a player as tall and strong as him.


Defending: On of his best things in-game is his heading. He´ll win most headers from goal kicks and lay them off to his teammates as well as comfortably score goals from crosses.


Physical: As you would expect from him he is very strong. His strength definitely feels higher than 78, probably because his character model is so tall. He is able to hold up the play and can outstrength most

centerbacks. His stamina is okay but i would prefer it to be a little bit better.


Overall: All in all he is a good striker but nothing more than what you would expect. He replaced Mbappe in one of my teams who is a similar player. Kluivert and Mbappe are both fast, strong, good at shooting

with 4*skills and 4 *weak foot. I would say that Mbappe has better finishing, especially on his left foot and a little bit better acceleration, whereas Kluivert has better Strength and hold-up play.

I would recommend Kluivert for everyone who needs an icon to get chemistry for their team or if you have another player in your team who gets you goals constantly and Kluivert would be more of a

supporting striker.

However if you really need someone to get you goals or if you are struggling for coins and saving up for Kluivert I would go with Mbappe or someone else, not because Kluivert is bad but there are

way cheaper options who are as good as him.
