Excellent Passer and Aerial Threat

By edhirono, 05-12-2018

A real beast. He is unbeatable in the air due to his strength, height and jumping ability. On the floor he packs a really powerful finish.

Also, unlike other aerially-gifted strikers, such as Giroud or Gignac, he is reasonably fast. I pair him with Aubameyang and they both dovetail perfectly to enable me to reach Gold on Weekend League easily, despite me not being a very good player. He is the best partner for Aubameyang not just because of his physical presence, but also his passing stats. They enable him to do quick 1-2s and play perfect through balls for Aubameyang to race onto.

Bought him for 1.3m but if I were to estimate his worth, I would say he's worth at least 1.5m. Tried Lukaku, IF Lukaku, and he is so much better than all the versions of Lukaku. I would say he takes the best of Lukaku and Kane, and packs it into one potent Dutch package.

I cannot recommend him enough.

1) Very Strong, not easy to shrug off

2) Good passing, which is rare for a player who is tall and strong in the air

3) Height + jumping and heading stats makes him a real beast in the air. Has the Power Header trait too

4) High/Low workrates means he's always available for a pass in the final third and won't waste stamina tracking back

1) With Hawk chemistry style he is quick enough, but he isn't Aubameyang-quick

Patrick Kluivert

The most underrated Icon ever.

After reading a lot of comments under his page and some reviews this player didn't particularly impressed me. Before Kluivert I was playing with IF Gabriel Jesus (I will always love you bruh) but since the finesse shot meta is coming to an end I decided to try a more physical striker to avoid the "finesse spamming" and play a better game. Needless to say, I've never used a player as complete as Kluivert. H...

Expensive Lukaku

I've been buying, selling, and testing a number of different icon ST options (93 Van Basten, 91 Lineker, 91 Trezeguet, 91 Shevchenko, etc.) with a budget of 1.25 Million coins. As someone who really appreciates a fast & strong striker, I expected a lot from the prime Kluivert. While he definitely felt fast enough and extremely strong in the game, he also felt oddly sluggish. To elaborate a bit more on this, he ca...

Not worth the coins IMO

I upgraded my ST from Lukaku to the prime Kluivert, and ended up being massively disappointed. He didn't feel as strong and physically dominant as Lukaku, and other aspects of this prime icon weren't that much better than Lukaku. After trying him for 61 games, this card did not seem worth 1M and sold him for a nice profit of 200k, which allowed me to get the prime Klose instead.Stats: 61 games, 44 goals (i...
