85 - Icon
I was lucky enough to pack Crespo (85) in the first week of Fifa. I thought at first that I should sell him to make alot of profit to build an awesome team from since he sells from 550k-680k depending on when you sell him.
I have used him in Squad Battles and Online Divisions so far and I am a pretty average player by all accounts yet this player has made it incredibly easy for me to pull of results that otherwise I would have lost. He currently has a record of 277 goals and 127 assists in 183 games. He is involved in just over 2.2 goals per game. I have only seen this kind of return on a few OP cards in the past, especially over such a long period of time.
For how the card actually plays, slap a hunter on him and you will score pretty much any shots that you care to take. His finesse shots are amazing as are his long shots (his low-driven are too but they are OP anyway). He shields the ball well and his strength is a great bonus, especially if you play a team with little strength up-front (think Timo Werner (82) ). Finally, his runs are absolutely beastly. They either drag defenders completely out of place and allow you alot more space, or split the defense in such a way that a simple through-ball will result in a goal 9 times out of 10.
Pace (Put a Hunter and get him to 97P overall)
Shooting (Honestly, shoot from anywhere and you'll either score or get a rebound goal)
Strength (If you use him at CAM or as a drop-deep ST, you will be able to hold the ball up well for runners to give options)
Fear Factor (Often people will play more panicky when faced with this ICON)
Corners (He has scored around 25 goals from corners for me. Near post is his bread and butter)
His cost (You're looking at 550k at an absolute min during the Market Crash)
Passing (He isn't the most accurate passer if you like to use slow build-up play)
Stamina (Stamina of 79 means he will be tired and not able to bomb past players at around the 60th min.)
Crespo 85 is a real scoring machine. They were able to reproduce it faithfully. A player who kicks from any angle and who manages to get the ball in even if it hits the goalkeeper.
Crespo will not be the player team that takes the ball from behind the midfield until reaching the goal, like Ronaldo. Crespo is a pure attacker and if you use him near the opponent's area he will be one of the most deadly players in the game.
I have a team with Crespo, Aguero, Martens and Dyballa and I can say that the great star of the team is undoubtedly Crespo. It is who most scored, well ahead of Dyballa who is second. He has so far 55 golas and 29 assitences in 86 games, if you remember that i still have Aguero, Dyballa and Martens playng around him and scoring gols as well, is a lot of gols for Crespo.
I've had Kluivert 88, Laudrup 89, Okcocha 87 and Bergkamp 87 and Crespo is the best of them, I'm sure of that.
You can buy Crespo worth while, but play with him as a pure attacker, use his body to fight the balls and kick any position near the area he will get the ball to enter. I am a medium player, gold 2 still in the wekkend legue. With Crespo, I feel much more capable of winning. One of the best players of Fifa 18.

always in the right position, makes goals in rebounds like no one
Nothing relevant , greeeat player
I am an average FIFA player. I qualify to weekend league off and on. I got lucky with a couple of SBC pack pulls and ended up with 2m+ in the bank. I wanted to give icons a shot as I'd previously used IF Werner, SBC Cavani or loan versions of Hernandez and van Basten. They were all good, I never quite moved up a level. So I thought the Lunar New Year is a good time to buy and went shopping. I bought Larsson 87 and Crespo 85.
After a couple of days of futchamps I can say that Crespo is unbelievable. He is easily the best striker I've played with, better than prime Hernandez even. With all of my earlier strikers, the trend was they'd have a GPM of 0.6-0.8 and an APM around 0.3-0.4. With Crespo, don't worry about the assists, 'cause little Valdanito here don't care about no sweaty pass. He just storms the defence and smashes them in. Easily the best 400k I spent on FIFA 18.

Only that his prime card hasn't released yet.
Mad. Absolutely mad. There's no stopping this guy. Whack a hunter card on him and those defenders get absolutely penetrated. This guy loves to score and he just does not miss. The extra pace boost means no one is catching him as well. Carries me every week in FUT Champs and I got gold 1. Mad.

This guy is unbelievable.
I use him in a 4-3-3 (3), when the game starts I change it to a 4-1-2-1-2 (2). I prefer him at left striker.
Believe me, his return is crazy. He is expensive, but he is worth it. He changes the game with 2-3 goals.
His passing may seem low, but in game they were still good.
You should use him with a hawk chem style, because it boosts his physical stats.
- His acceleration and sprint speed (with hawk chem style)
- He scores 9/10 times
- 4*4*
- High composure en balance so he is calm at one on ones.
- Heading
- Believe it or not, but he intercepts the ball often back when he loses it
- Game changer
- Low aggression
- Expensive (not really a con)
- People defend him like crazy, because he's a Icon
