92 - Flashback SBC

Is Zlatan best player ever for 200k?
By JakobKocy, 18-01-2019

So before I got this gem of a card I just bought 91 rated Marco van Basten who was my first legend ever on FIFA. Now you might think that I'm a newbie and why should you read this review... But I'm on 919,700 XP on FIFA (PC) which translates to level 90. I used to be div 1 player back in FIFA 15/16 days with 30k English teams. So now we established that I know what I'm talking. Now let's go and start the review. Ibracadabra has a similarity with legends. And the similarity is that almost every shot goes in. First experienced it with van Basten. When I sold him I thought I'm stupid for doing it, no way Ibra can be as OP as a legend... OH BOY I WAS WRONG. He is just insane. Then some of you might think, oh no, he can not be linked in to a squad... Just stop with that nonsense. Just go with 4321 where Alessandrini is the only link you need, and to link him is easy, you just need a French CM and FIFA 19 has some insane french CMs. Next stupid though that might creep onto your mind is: But Alessandrini is shit. Why would I use him. Again my kind sir... You are wrong. I have played with him for 50 games as well (surprise, surprise). His stats are 50 games 18 goals and 24 assists. Which is great for a 78 rated winger on a team with Mane, Pogba, and Ibra.

+Shooting (You don't even need to time his shots and most of them go in, even the all-mighty first time finesse shots from outside the box)

+Dribbling (With Sniper Ibra gets to 95 agility, which makes a big difference IMO, and is much more useful then the pace upgrade)

+Passing (If you call your players back towards goal on your kickoff Ibra often stays in offside which does not count on goal kicks, wins the header, passes to central CM or wingers and then just a cheeky 1-2 and your winger is running alone towards opponent's goal)

+Hold up play + positioning (when you circle the ball 30 m away from opponent's goal looking for opportunity to create a chance he is always waiting on the edge of the box with his back towards the goal. Then you just wait for him to have half a meter of space, pass him the ball, use the dribbling to turn sideways too goal and shoot. It's actually that easy)

+Corners (We all know that first post corner goals are almost as much AIDS to concede as finesse shots from miles out, and Ibra is just a beast at scoring both to be honest)


Probably missed something as well, but he is just that good

-Link (I mean it would be better for him to be a Legend card, but if you read the top part this is not even a big problem)

-Balance (Again with Sniper this is not really that much of a problem as he is agile enough that he can break through any defense, and if the defense catches up, he is already in penalty area waiting to get you a penalty)

ZLATAN

Get this card. Flashback Zlatan makes the game fun again.Pace 84: His pace feels meta enough. Not rapid, not slow. But accompanied by his 99 strength even when caught he was never pushed off the ball for me, not even by TOTY Varane. 7/10Shooting 94: Don't worry about the lack of the finesse shot trait. If you hit greens it's going in, unless you have a little sweat wiggling his right stic...

Dear FIFA 19, You're Welcome

87 rated Striker with Marksman chem style, 5* Skills, 4* Weak Foot, 6'5" for 5k coins. When I saw this, I made a team that would work around him despite having limited competitive options in MLS. So this squad (which is built in 4312 for full chem) might not be good enough to last through the winter, but right now it's very competitive. Some IF cards to Martinez or Alessandrini will make using Ibra in...
