Player Review
87 - Icon
Unbelievably good player. Bought him just to try him out, was my first huge purchase on this FIFA and although I'm still gutted to have parted with 470k of coins, he hasn't disappointed! In 7 games he's scored 10, most of them worldies and set up 5 too. Gets in excellent positions and has enough stamina to last a full match. Incredible range of passing, great control of the ball too and has enough pace to be in the game this year (would have struggled in prev. FIFA games). If this card is this incredible can only imagine how good his 89 and 91 versions are. I play him in a midfield 3 with a holding mid and a high/high mid next to him to do a lot of the defending and running, freeing him up to produce magic on the ball! I haven't listed his tackling and strength as weaknesses because anyone using this card should already know not to expect either of those things from it. What you get is quality passing, control, movement and shooting!
Passing and vision - pinpoint even if long range.
Shooting - outside the box especially but also a solid finisher from closer in with his 92 composure.
Positioning - seems to be involved all game and gets back in for tackles as well as pushing forward.
Price is high
3 star skills and weak foot (isn't noticeable to me though)
