Best ST i've ever used!

By Koljethereviewer, 20-10-2018

So i have been looking for a good consistent striker for so long now. I tried Ronaldo, i tried Shevchenko, i tried Cruyff, i tried Kluivert and so on. But none of them seem to be consistent for me, they could be invisible for a whole match. I needed a striker to play for me in weekend league and be consitent the whole time. So i found Van Basten, he looked insane. He is frickin 188cm tall, he has amazing shooting, agility and so on. This guy is literally the perfect striker, i played him with Hawk to boost that Strength, the pace and shooting even more! And oh my god he can't stop scoring, he has 7 matches, 17 goals and 6 assists. All 7 matches in weekend league, and so far i've won 7/7. so now to his ratings

Pace 83: Honestly idk if it's the guys agility, the hawk chem style or idk what it is. But he feels like one of the fastest cards on this game, must be something wrong with his pace. It honestly feels like he has 94-95 pace. So 10/10!

Shooting 91: Best shooting in fifa 19, no matter where you are on the pitch just hit the shooting button. No need to time it with this guy, the shot power of 90 (99 with hawk) is unsaveable. He is just too god 11/10 on the shooting!

Passing 72: He is really good at 1-2 passing, but his long passes can be pretty shit at times.. 8/10 on passing, which isn't really that relevant as a striker.

Dribbling 86:His mix of agility, reactions, and ballcontrol make him insanely good. The man is 188cm and has 87 agility, he can't be stopped. His dribbling is insane, i've had no problem going past players with this god! 10/10 easily!

Defendig 35: Irrelevant N/A

Physical 76: His jumping is insane, nobody beats this guy in the air. I've used him against Maldini, varane, van dijk and so on so far. And none of them seem to beat him in the air, his stamina is okay. He will definetly last the 90 minutes but in extra time he can get pretty tired. I got to extra time once and even then he scored 1 goal to save me though. Now his strength, it is definetly not 81 (86 with Hawk) the man will not be pushed off the ball, it is literally impossible! So Physical 8,5/10 just because he lacks some stamina and agression.

So his overall rating for me will be 10/10 i really can't find anything wrong with him. He is the best striker i have ever used and i used record breaker Ronaldo in all of fifa 16, i used TOTY Ibra since he got out in 14. I had Pele last year, like there is no one better than this kid. He is the best striker of all time in FIFA!

PS: I change to 4231 or 41212 (2) ingame!! Either he is a striker alone, or on the left side!

Shooting from everywhere and anywhere he wants. No matter if its a finesse, bycicle kick, header or power shoot its going into the goal!
Pace definetly not 83, his pace is 94-95
Passing Really great passing for a striker!
Dribbling Insane dribbling, for being so tall he is insane. One of the best dribbleres i have used this year!
Physical He feels insanely strong, and with that jumping, heading and height he wins everything in the air.
"cheap" this card is cheap for what you get, would not be surprised if this guy is 1m-1,5m when people find out how broken he is!

Stamina if you get to extra time
Long passing sometimes great and sometimes bad

Underrated ICON ST

Ever since Fifa 19 launched, I have been trying out few ST Icons with in 500k-800k budget considering this year FIFA has been harder to finish comparing to last year. Main reason I picked Van Basten (baby version) up was his traits for Finesse shots (OP this year for sure)He also provides you the Height and Strength. Played him in Div Rivals (Div 5 and 4) and also WL matches. The only in my club who...

Amazing goalscoarer

My favourite player so far this year! A little dragback or a ball roll, then press r1 and do a finesse shot. If you do red timing, no problem. It is a goal. every single time. Totally recommend if you just need a beast in front of goal. Will score you a lot of headers to. I aim for him on first post corner, and he scores them too, with his height and jumping(hawk applied). I use him as Left striker, beside...

Best ST in fifa 19

I´ve been searching for the perfect number 9 for my team. A player who could score goals and goals. I tried with Zola, Stoichkov, Hernandez and Crespo but none of them worked for me. I saw Van Basten in the market and bought him for 800. At first i didn´t like him because of his pace, but if you search him in the box and shoot, it will work perfect. Amazing shot, Very good headers from corners and incredible placed shot.
