WOW were do i start i was debating spending 1.2mill on a icon so early on in the game but eventually gave in and brought prime crespo and im so happy i did he is a machine in game just glides past players like they arnt there finesse/power shots from outside the box just go in great heading good pace good strength feels a lot stronger in game than his stats say his movement is also incredible he just finds himself so much space.I played him in a 41212/2 with aguero and he outshone him in every aspect .it was my first weekend league ever and i managed to hit gold 1 with 46 goals in 30 games from crespo he defiantly carried me and the team lol if you have the money try him out as i can only see him rising in price over the next few weeks as more people will use him.

I've tried this guy in 2 weekend leagues, he is an absoloute beast! Most of the time i've played in a 4231 in game, most of the time i packed him on CAM after 60-70 minutes. But also there, he was amazing. He scored for me headers, volleys, tap ins, left foot, right foot - just everything. I can't even say something bad about him. The price for me is absoloutely okay. He is a PRIME icon, and you can't give me another striker with those stats in the same price range.
- The mix of his pace and strenght
- To this mix comes his dribbling, he is very agile.
- Finishing (inside the box and around 20-25 metres, everything is in)
- Heading accuracy
- i can't say something about some cons, because there aren't cons.
first sorry about the bad grammar english isn't my first language
i got maldini 92 in a pack ( yes im so lucky ) then a sold him for 1.600 M becuase im good with van dijk and inform baily
then i sold aguero and got this beast, he changed my attack alote, insane shoting with both legs, a beast in heading wins the most if crossed well
positioning is great just pass don't even think he's offside, the combnation of strength and agillity gives you a game changer striker

When FIFA released the Crespo SBC I looked at the price and thought that's relatively cheap for such a stat heavy striker - saw his in game value was around 200-300 higher than the sbc value. I luckily did the Prime Roy Keane SBC last month and never really use him any more so I already had an icon to put into this SBC without spending any money, additionally to this I already had a load of high rated useless players in my club. In total value the SBC cost me 387k. For a Prime Icon...PRIME. Madness.
Short description:
This card is an absolute savage, every game you know you can win the game even if you get hammered because all it takes is one chance from Crespo.
Long description:
- I use him in a 4222 at Right Striker along side Flashback Javier Hernandez, IF Rashford Right CAM, SIF Arnautovic at Left CAM.
- Chem Style - HAWK, this is for the pace boost to tip him into the 90's and also for that little physical boost to push his strength and jumping up a little bit more.
- I was a bit hesitant at first because I had fairly disappointing results with Keane but this card is absolutely unreal. He's got a ridiculous shot and finish on him. With the Hawk Chem he ends up with 99 positioning, 99 finishing, 97 shot power, 82 long shots (This stat is broken, i will get to that shortly), 97 volleys, 99 pens.
- 99 finishing 82 long shots. So the 82 long shots. Nah it's not 82, it's broken, MASSIVELY. He scores from EEEEEEVERYWHERE. He's got a pin point precise finesse shot, his laced shots feel like they're always going in, they stay down and do not bend at all (I find that long shots this year are awful, they fly off in every direction) so if you hit it right it's a goal every time. His close range finishing is next level, i think in 21 games i've missed maybe 3 or 4 shots total. the 21 games 40 goals tally speaks for itself, he does exactly what it says on the tin, along with his traits and specialties it is self explanatory - Finesse Shot, Power Header, Target Forward, Aerial Threat, Dribbler, Acrobat, Clinical Finisher, Complete Forward, Poacher.
- His pace surprised me, with it being 89 i was a bit skeptical but he's absolutely rapid - boosted to 94 Accel and 94 Sprint speed in game mixed with his 90 agility, absolutely monstrous pace - he's at top speed the second he starts running and he breaks away so quickly and because of the boost to 99 positioning, he makes amazing runs through back lines at speed but somehow manages to stay onside every time.
- Dribbling, he's got 90 agility 89 dribbling and 92 composure, what more do you need.
- Defending, he's a bit rubbish defensively being completely honest, he isn't too good for winning the ball back from a defender BUT, he's quick enough to nip in front of a defender and steal a pass or two so it's not all bad. with his work rates being medium low he doesn't come back so it's okay in that sense.
- Passing - Meh, he's okay but he's not a playmaker, he's a finisher. 83 vision with 72 short passing is more than enough to assist team mates if they find a better position so can't really complain!
- Physical - with the Hawk Chem style he gets a boost to his jumping (goes to 98), strength (goes to 83) and his aggression which jumps to a measly 60. the Jumping goes a long way as it combines with his 92 heading accuracy, front post corners are a goal guaranteed every time. He out leaps most defenders by a long way. he has 80 Stamina which some people would be put off by but this is absolutely not an issue for him, he's fine up until the final whistle every game.
For the value i paid for it, this card is 100% worth every penny. Being honest i'd say even at 1.3 mil it's 100% worth it, he's far and away the best striker I've used this year over in form Aubameyang and Salah etc. 10/10.

well i did his sbc last week, and i very happy about that. if you search for a false 9 striker, or for a game maker, he isn't your adress, but if you need someone to score goals with him, so he is exactly who you should buy. crespo doesnt miss any chance to score a goal, and it doesnt metter if he shoot from 10 yards, 15 yards, or even 20. all of his shots gett in, his low driven shots are unstoppable!. he hasn't the best positioning or pefect movement, but when you need to score the goal, he will be there, anytime, anyplace. my favorite attribute of crespo is his composure, i just love to see his indifference when he do a crazy goal or amazing action, he will never be nervless,something that helps him to score goals without effort. this is one of his special attributes who makes him to be so crazy and funny to be played with
his composure, his finishing, and in genral anything in the attacking part on the pitch
i dont sure if it infirmity, but before to buy him you need to know that he isn't the player to hold the ball with, or to start the attack frome the middle of the pitch. he just know to score goals and he do it perfectly!
So I actually decided to write a review about my favoirite player this year on FUT.
Normally I dont do stuff like this. But this player deserves it in my opinion. I couldnt hold myself back. This acutally happened the first time since FUT 17. Never ever a player has impressed me this much..
I played him now about 200 games and in average he scored like every game.
Furthermore, he has a lot of assists too. I used him before the patch, and after the patch.
I personally think he got a lot better after the patch. He was already good before the patch because of his Finesse Trait, but now, this guy is an absolute monster.
He can score with both of his feet. His heading is super strong. He is tall, has some physicality.. And the best thing, especially after patch, his dribbling! He suits perfectly to the actual state of the game!
In my opinion this guy is just a cheaper version of R9. They have a lot of similarities. Of course R9 is another dimension. But both of them can dribble, are good with both feet, can score goals by heading and have good physicality.
His only weakness is his passing. Just dont do risky passes with him.

This year, compared to last year, I had a lot of luck in the packages, so I was able to try a lot of strikers before coming across the VALDANITO, which I honestly did not take into consideration at the beginning. This year I tried, in order:
Lewandowski, NIF and IF
Aguero, NIF and UCL
Aubameyang, NIF
Werner, NIF, IF and SIF
Jesus, IF (RED)
Firmino Futmas
Son IF
Ben Yedder RTTF
Stoichkov 92
Raul 88 and 92
Larsson 90
Hernandez 90
Butragueno 90 and 92
desperate not to find a striker that was right for me, and having spent a fortune in EA taxes, I took Crespo Prime with chemistry style hunter.
* in the distance you hear the Japanese commentator of the old Winning eleven for playstation 1 scream "shoooouuttoooo" *
Best decision ever.
Pace
with hunter comes to 99/99, and with its natural agility and its balance .... it's fast guys. Very fast. Not like butra, of course. But Butra weighs 14 kilos, wet, and if he entered an elementary school, they would probably trade him for an 8 year old. Crespo lives on arrogance. You can fight with Mike Tyson and survive. Maybe. If Tyson is sleeping.
Shooting
it is like throwing a coin, but having chosen both the head and the cross.
Less than the miracles of the goalkeeper, or errors of directing the shot is always inside. From 16/18 meters, volleys, twice per game, almost mathematical rage quit. Never had so much fun trying bombs from far away to see what happens.
Passing
Honest, but clearly not the player you would like to make a 60-meter throw. He is the one who receives the launch of 60 meters and then leaves a "ciavattata" or "suatta" (in Italy we can also say so, in Rome, I do not know in English sincerely, I also think that changes from region to region ... I digress, sorry) to attempt the murder of the goalkeeper.
Dribbling
Surprisingly good. I'm not one that abuses the Skill, but I only use those two / three really useful he does them and does them good. The 92 of composure combined with 90 agility in 1 vs 1 means that you win the challenge 90% of the time.
Defense
On the corner kicks against, the 92 header and 88 jump help a lot. For the rest it is clearly useless as an ass without the hole.
Physicality
Initially I thought that the stamina at 80 could be a problem, but the medium / medium worksrate, is perfect for him because I get comfortable to finish the extra 1st. In the 2nd additional is clearly boiled.
The strength at 78 seems more like a 85/88 because I often play against a friend of mine who has VVD POTM and David Luiz Flashback as CB, and Crespo plays with both of them, clearly sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. But I have never broken a joypad yet, he is on the third, something will mean.
Also if you have it you can shout VALDANITOOOOO on every goal, and this is priceless.
At the moment, after 154 games, we are 188 goals. Mostly weekend league, 18/20 average wins, and division rivals, division 3 about 2000 skill points.
It happens that rarely fails a game, and when it happens it is really frustrating. But the price is absolutely worth it.
this prime version of Crespo is the player that will make you the jump in quality you are looking for .. I played more than 30 games and the average score is higher than the goal per game. No problem if it comes to scoring headers, volleys or just outside the area limit, he always does the job. Moreover he feels that he has a good strength to resist the contrasts. The latter, coupled with excellent speed, agility and dribbling will be your opponent's nightmare. Playing with marksman chem style you feel that dribbling and physique are improved. If you have the money, take it, you will not regret it!

If you have the money to buy him, just do it. I have tried so many icons, but none of them could impress me. I've tried prime Van Basten, prime Shevchenko, 90 Bergkamp, 88 Raul, prime Larsson but they all disappointed me. Hernan Crespo doesn't I scored 35 goals in 22 games, only weekend league. He just scores from every place on the pitch, he scores tap-ins, long shots, weak foot shots, headers (crosses and corners), overhead kicks, volleys, it's really unbelievable. He is strong, his agility is amazing, his passing is okay with a chem style. The only thing is that he doesn't feel like 89 pace, but nevertheless best icon i tried so far and definitely worth 1.6 million coins.
