The Perfect Target Man (Marco Van Basten)

By sweatygoalssince2003, 01-01-2019

When I picked this guy up for 715K, I had high expectations, but he's gone and smashed them. This guy is never being replaced from my team. His shooting is perfect, he's great on the ball, and is good enough in linkup play to get assists. His pace (79) is a lie, he feels more like 85 pace. His strength and jumping also feel lower than the stats themselves, and he wins tons of headers. At 700K or so on PS4, this man is worth every penny, and is only going to be replaced when I can get his prime.

Good enough pace
Excellent shooting, especially finesse shots
Smooth on the ball
Good passing and linkup play
6'2, good in the air
4*WF
Good enough strength to bully most defenders
Stamina isn't amazing but he can last the game

3*SM
Price, 700K is a lot for a striker but to me at least he's worth it

ABSOLUTE BEAST

This card is insane. He will score you so many goals. He is great around good wingers who can pass him or cross him the ball because he finishes everything. I definitely recommend him for any FUT Champions squad.

Van Beast

If youre on the fence between his baby and mid like I was, pull the trigger on this bad boy. Best striker under 450k in the game. We all want icons to make game changing impacts and this is the man right here.His pace with hunter is decent and he can beat most defenders while being strong enough to go shoulder to shoulder with them.But oh god his shooting. The man has two cannons for feet. If you have the leas...

The best and still not worth it

Finally I had the coins (520.000) for an Icon and Van Basten at the top of my wishlist and I needed a better striker for my 4-3-3 formation. I had 84ovr Giroud and wanted the same amazing shooting, precense around the goal area but a bit more speed, agility and so on. I bought Van Basten because i thought he'd do it all. Oh boy was i disappointed, he didn't really make any runs for the ball, his passing was sluggish,...
