Reviews

I feel that the previous review has not done this man justice, that is why I am writing this review. You cannot judge a man after 4 games, I don't feel like I can after 30 games however I feel I have a slightly better idea over such a large investment. After sinking most of my coins into Del Piero SBC and reaping the benefits I had built myself up to 800k and was about to pull the trigger on the Van Basten SBC. As soon as Shevchenko was released I made the impulse decision to do that instead. After 30 games I am happy with my choice. And around 700k (again most of my coins) for such an excellent prime is outstanding. Let me break it down.

Games: 30 Goals: 76 Assist: 11 Chem: Marksman

Stats

Pace: In my opinion he is blistering. Next to Del P he pulls away very fast, and on top of that his strength means once at top speed he is difficult to stop. 8/10

Shooting: This is where I entirely disagree with the previous review. This is why you want Shevchenko, his shot is incredible. Much alike Del P, yet I find Shevchenko to be even more clinical. The shot power is what I think takes him to a next level and the ability to do it with either foot despite only being 4*. He is, for me at least a master of the 1v1, especially with the low driven shot and low driven finesse. 76 goal in 30 games says it all. 10/10

Passing: I would say this element of his attack is poor. His quick, close quarter 1-2's are acceptable but anything more and he will struggle. I rely on Del P to thread it onto the on-running Shevchenko. 6/10

Dribbling: I thought him to be a very competent dribbler. His first touch is divine, on the run he has a curious style of dribbling that I didn't think I would get on with but he seems to have a long touch when sprinting. For Shevchenko this worked in his favour meaning he ran onto the ball and his strength meant he kept it even if a defender got in the way. For me it worked despite it normally not being my dribbling style but take this into consideration as it may not work for some. 9/10

Defending: N/A

Physical: He is a striking menace. He is tall at 6ft and feels a lot stronger than the 79 strength stated. Stamina could be an issue if you were to go into extra time but for 90 minutes is A bully that you wouoldn't want to play against. 9/10

I did the SBC for Shevchenko for about 600k and with players in my cllub. I was previously playing SIF Wilson at ST in my main team with prime Bergkamp behind him at CAM and although Wilson was very good and had a positive goals to game ratio something was still missing. He was small and I felt sometimes his shooting was a bit off espeically outside the box. So when Shevchenko came out I had to get him.

He made an instant inpact in his first game scoring 4 goals on his debut. I was a bit worried about his High-High WR but it doesn't seem like it effects him, he makes excellent runs inbehind and pulls away from most defenders with ease and his finishing is next level! Inside or outside the box on either foot or on his head he will finish it.

His passing isn't the best but you don't expect him to make amazing passes, he can do the LB A pass and make a good run in behind which is all you need him to do.

He has very high dribbling stats too which are very useful in and around the box, his close control allows you to move around defenders easily to get that perfect angel for a low driven or a finesse shot into the top bag.

All in all if you're looking for a good clinical striker that will link to anyone as a Prime Icon and don't want to spend millions Shevchenko is your man. I would reccommend you have very good passers behind him though to make the most of the runs he makes but 100% at least try him loan before getting him. He is defo worth it.
