Big boy icardi
By FutHdR, 06-11-2018

Ok, so you're looking for a Seria A striker to put the goals in the net. Like me, you most likely have been looking at stats for hours, comparing the likes of Higuain, Immobile, Mandzukic etc to see which player you will buy. Stop comparing, start buying Icardi.


I bought Icardi based on the reviews of Futbin. Wanted to get Immobile first, but decided to have faith in my fellow Fut colleagues and never regretted it one bit. Icardi has all you need on a striker:

  • Decent pace
  • Clinical finishing + insane positioning
  • Good reactions
  • Jumping springs


He is always in the right spot. Rebound from the keeper, Icardi is there for the tap in. Cross to any of the posts, guess who shows up? With a corner there's a 50/50 chance of Icardi heading the ball in goal, it should be illegal. He is the go to striker for me with Serie A and it will take a while before I will replace him!

  • Perfect positioning
  • Aerial threat
  • Always in the right place in the right time
  • Decent balance + composure
  • Good pace for a striker
  • Passing isn't that great, but who passes primarily with their ST?
  • Not the strongest - but holds his own

Perfect Striker

To give you a quick run down. This guy is the perfect striker in my opinion. With 91 finishing he has the most clinical shooting I've seen in this game. Scores them from all angles all day long, inside and outside the box. He's only 5ft 11 but don't be fooled, he wins the majority of headers with 94 jumping and with 91 heading I genuinely think across 30 games he only missed one header. Seriously can't stress his arial abil...

This card is broken

I was initially very disappointed in myself for having been drawn into a bidding war over this card (which i had been eyeing for a long time) and ended up paying 121k for it. Knowing that at this stage of fifa coins matter alot, i contemplated selling him for the same price. I told myself that I would do it after i had tried him. And boy am i glad that i did. I slapped a hunter on him and the rest they say is history.

A Solid Option for Two Striker Systems

Icardi can be a frustrating card to get used to, but when you find his strengths he turns into a really solid option. I first tried Icardi alone up top in a 4-2-3-1, with Mertens and 1st IF Insigne at the two CAM positions behind him. He was very frustrating to play with; his strength was poor, ball control sloppy, and his passes were just not strong enough to get through tight windows without being intercepted. After about...
