97 - Icon

The God
By HaroldKane, 03-03-2018

He's a god. He can finish everything even from 40 yards. He is like a more overpowered Messi with 98 balance and the tightest ball control on the game and with his height he just wriggles through challenges and skips past everyone. His link up play and set piece delivery are the best even better than Messi, de bruyne and eriksen. Despite the 3* wf his dribbling and 5* skills mean that he can always shift the ball across to his left and just bang it.

5 star skilling messi
By jokeaway, 05-03-2018

Prime Maradona was one of the 3 players i wanted most at the start of FUT18.

The other 2 were prime Ronaldinho and upcoming TOTY Messi.


R10 is still in my team and doing sensational stuff, while with TOTY Messi i did not have enough fun dribbling like last year and so he got sold about a month ago.


My front court consists of OTW Neymar + prime R10 + prime Del Piero + prime Maradona.

I can play 433-4, 4231, 442 and even 352 with them, depending on my opponent.

Now to Diego Armando Maradona:


I had the loan version first, but after no games left, i decided to go all in.

I play him with MAESTRO to boost shooting, passing and dribbling almost to the max.


Most important stat of his icon card is the 5 star skilling. Without this ability i would stick with NIF messi, but these 5 star skills on this small player are more worth than TOTY messi's 96 stamina.

I still have to adjust my speed of controlling him, because his skills are so fast in execution. TOTY Ronaldo instead looks like a giant who stumples over his feet.


I tried his 91 version and the 95 some months ago and liked the 91 bit more, because he was quicker and had more stamina.

But now with his 97 version i understood that stamina and running speed are not the facts that makes this card a real prime card:


It is his overall performance, whether it is shooting, finessing, passing, dribbling, speed and last but not least, his golden earring ;)


His left foot is a rocket, his trait to avoid his right foot helps a lot in situations near the goal.

The finesse shot trait together with MAESTRO makes his curve from the right as lethal as the one of TOTY Messi.


I play R10 on the left, Maradona on the right and del piero in centre. The only thing to do is to play them free and finesse, finesse, finesse.

If that wont work, the 5 star skills open the path through the defenders and infront of the keeper even the foot trait does not help...


I love my squad now.
