Prime Shevchenko review
By Edb269, 28-09-2018

I used this card for just over 50 games and I'll tell you all he is an ANIMAL. In the 50 games he scored me 83 goals and they were from all distances and angles. He is hands down the best card ive uses so far and a great benchmark player for the rest of the game.


Pace.

His pace is phenomenal and combining with extremely high attack positioning he makes outstanding runs and can keep away from defenders well.


Shooting.

By far his best attribute. When the ball leaves his foot you can see it break the sound barrier its so fast. Longshots of all types from all angles and distances are on target most of the time especially the finesse shots. Id say of his 83 goals at least 50 were outside of the box finesse shots. But dont be fooled this doesn't mean his heading and finishing ability are sub par, they are both excellent and he scored me plenty of bicycle kicks and headers.


Passing.

His passing and vision are both pretty good and he can find his supporting players fairly easily, he doesnt cross to well but i cant say i was crossing with him too often as he was my main aerial threat. The highlight of his passing is his free kicks, the 90 stat does not lie and when you do a power/driven free kick it has a great chance to beat the keeper.


Dribbling.

His dribbling isnt anything spectacular and is hindered by his lack of 4* skills. But he is fairly nimble and can beat most CBs but when you come up agaisnt an Umtiti/Ramos/Varane dont be suprised if you struggle


Phsyical

His physical definitley does the job but he equally isnt the strongest. He can get up to most headers with 86 jumping and being 6ft tall but he wont be beating the taller defenders from goal kicks all the time. His strength can be great at times but then feel quite weak at others (as most strikers do IMO) and his stamina seems low at 77 but he lasts all game as long as he has 85+ fitness going into the game.

The Real Sheva

Completed Sheva SBC two days after the release and since then he is my main striker. Played him in 3 squads over that period, but the formation was pretty much the same. To start, I must admit it was an unplanned move to do the SBC. The first two weeks were painful for me to cope with a striker that only has 3* skill moves. But every single game with him showed me that there are...

So bad it´s unreal

Well where do i start... I used Shev in a 4-2-3-1 at Cam, with flashback Ibra up top as a false nine (Which means shev is at ST for most of the game)Pace: 88 pace is decent for any striker, top that with a chemestry style with boost and you can surely expect to outrun most defenders. But not ol´ Shev.. Despite his decent looking pace, he feels very slow in-game, where centerbacks such as Laporte and SIF F...

Waste of coins

I used this card for 30 games, all weekend league. In general i Like Shevchenko and I had his card on Fifa 18 where he was an absolute goal machine. So I decided to unlock his prime card when he was out as an sbc. I spend around 700k for the card, but save your money and unlock another icon. He feels very very slow, his positioning is very bad (the card says 94, with hawk he got 99), he never wins a header and he feels very...
