Player Review
90 - Icon
Disclaimer: I'm a very standard fifa player who gets gold 1/2 in WL, but i am very passionate about this game and i invest a lot of time into it
I'm writing this review just before I rinse Zola into the Raul SBC and i thought this card deserved a review.
I used him for 269 games at CAM and he brought me 155 Goals & 121 Assists (i know those stats don't sound good, but for me the consistency was there)
This card was an absolute treat to use throughout those games. He clutched me so many wins and actually made the game fun to play with his insane dribbling, ball control and his shooting which is out of this world. I always knew this card wasn't perfect and eventually I'd rinse him through another SBC, but I'm an avid Chelsea fan and I just wanted to play with him.
I'll go into more detail below.
Pace: Zola's pace on and off the ball is perfect for a CAM, due to him being so small and his ball control being 92 he is extremely quick carrying the ball. I used a hunter on him as well to just add that extra edge.
Shooting: There's honestly not much I can say about this he is just utter class from Finesse shots to low drivens he has it all and his 4* weak foot is superb.I only noticed his composure of 79 now which surprised me because its never been an issue.
Dribbling: Personally my favourite attribute on this card he is just so quick with the ball. His acceleration out of skills is fantastic and the 4* skills makes it even better. The ball is glued to his feet.
Passing: This is a stat that I mistakenly didn't realize how important it his, but I definitely came to my senses after using Zola. He has to be played at CAM to actually noticed how good it is and my word is it good- pinpoint precision consistently.
Physicality: So this is what worried me most about this card. Zola is obviously not a physical player his strength is not there, but he does retain possession well. Personally I didnt find his strength a big issue you just need to play to his strengths. But his Stamina is whats holding this card back from being a Top Tier icon with his H/M work rates he tracks back a bit and fetches the ball which is really good, but by the 60th minute hes useless and needs to be sub-out'.
The Con on this card is obviously quite big, but it can definitely be looked over due to his incredible stats in other areas
