92 - Icon

4.0

Goal Soccer but not Game Changer

By luisbergua, 05-11-2018

Hey this is my first review of the year and after having tried icons like 91 van basten 91 shearer 89 van basten and now Lineker I must say he is good but isn't a game changer.tionHe will score a lot of goals but for me he didn't score any bangers or amazing goals just the average pass into space and a simple finish. He is fast but not extremely rapid and he has amazing positioning but he let me down massively in the physical and dribbling. He had a average first touch and wasn't to fast at turning He got bullied of the ball sooo easily.

Shooting 8/10: He is amazing at finishing but he will miss a few chances and his finess shots where bad
Pace 9/10: He feels like 88 pace good

Dribbling 7/10: The lack of 4 star skills and not great agility or balance didn't feel like 86
Passing 6/10: He isnt very good at passing decent for close pass but not great
Physical 5/10: got pushed off the ball all the time felt really weak bad.
Finesse Shots were very hard to score from outside the box inside was fine but that 64 curve does affect the card

The best ST option for < 1.25 Mil coins

I've been trying a number of different Icon ST options for the past month (93 Van Basten, 92 Nistelrooy, 91 Trezeguet, 91 Kluivert, 91 Shevchenko, etc.) for review purposes, and the prime Lineker was definitely the most enjoyable and best lone ST option for a budget of 850,000 to 1.25 million coins in my opinion.*I plan on writing reviews for the rest of the aforementioned icon STs within a week or so.His shoo...

A++ End-game Striker option

I was a bit skeptical about this card simply due to the fact that I almost never run into a team with him during the weekend league.Well... this card has been probably one of the best icon strikers I've used so far. It has basically almost everything you want in your striker - excellent pace, shooting, offensive positioning, ball control & stamina. I strongly feel that my team's offensive productivity has been t...

Linkeker my man

Had the luck to pack him in a 100k pack during lightning round. My instant thought was to sell him, but since this is my first packed icon ever, wanted to try him for a bit first. Best thing I ever did. Played 10 division rivals and the results were amazing: 10 games, 22 goals and 3 assists. I play 4-1-2-1-2 with Jesus IF at CAM and Sturridge Flashback as the other striker. I play him with...
