Player Review
88 - Icon
I was looking for an icon replacement for 87 Mahrez for chemistry purposes and i had multiple players in mind: Figo, Best or Nedved. I wanted one of these because they all have at least 4 star weak foot and 4 star skills. This for me is very important since im like to score goals with skills in there. After comparing these players i chose Best and i can say that this choice was a very good one. I use Best with a hawk chemistry style because i wanted to boost his physical stats a little as well. After playing 29 games he managed to score 48 goals for me and he assisted 15 more. I'm a confident division 3 player (+- 2000 skill rating) and when playing fut champs i normally stop at gold 3. Normally my record is at around 14-3. So i can say that i know a bit about the game but im defo not a great player just an addicted football fan who wants to play fifa. Of those games 18 games are from champs and 8 in div 3. The other games were against friends that are around my level so these games haven't really boosted the stats. To start of Bests pace is fucking insane. He feels faster than the TIF Werner for me and also faster than prime Zola. Best is the only player that i’ve used this year besides Mbappe that actually gets away from the defenders which is odd since he ‘only’ has 91 pace which of course does get boosted by the hawk chem style. Best is the best dribbler i’ve used this year and combined with the 4 star skill moves he just doesn’t lose that ball. His passing seemed like a con to me when I was looking at him but its decent enough. He completes the passes the you’d expect him too but it isn’t insane like zolas passing. I don’t know why but it feels like Best has 99 shot power for me, he just bullies the keeper when timing in the green. His finesses are out of this world as well and you can score the first time finesse on both feet very comfortable. He does seem to hit the post for me a lot tho but his shots are never off target when timed orange or better. For me Best has been the most fun player i've used this game and i’d say that if you have the spare million coins and are looking for a great winger or striker you should defo consider this card. However I would not recommend to use him in a single striker formation since he doesn't have the height to win aerial duels.
- Pace, he always gets away from the defenders for me.
- Shot power, even if the goalie gets moved in the right way it still goes in most of the times.
- Finesses, Right or left foot they always go top corner when timed orange or better.
- 4* 4* combo, speaks for itself
- Dribbling, feels like the ball sticks to his feet, but in bad gameplay that doesn’t matter.
- Stamina, especially when comparing him to other icons his stamina is very high and he will last 120 minutes when needed
- Price, He is around 1 million coins which always is expensive for a casual player.
- Passing, It’s definitely good enough but it’s not great.
- Height, even though he has 90 jumping with a hawk he most of the times still won't beat the defenders when heading the ball.
- Strength, He is pretty strong for a winger but when used at striker he might get bullied by the centre backs most of the times.
