89 - Icon

5.0

Better than expected!

By Shaddixbe, 28-01-2019

I have a pretty stacked team and I didn't think 89 Gerrard would make a huge difference after having used his baby card a while, which didn't impress me. I just wanted to try him out anyway because I felt like I missed a CAM with good shooting. I liked this Gerrard, he had really nice passing and was much stronger than I expected him to be, he kept defenders of the ball while setting up an attack. So I thought I might give him a chance at ST, and damn, that changed my game. His longshots are really nice, he's a real finisher. He doesn't score every game, but when he scores it are always really nice goals.

But for me where he really shines is the creation of chances. I partner him with FB Ibra at ST and Hazard at CAM and often it's Gerrard that creates chances with his great passing and positioning, feeding assits to Ibra.

Something else I really enjoyed about the card is that his corners are really good. I noticed the amount of goals from corners went up when I assigned the task to him. This is something I haven't experienced since TOTY KDB last year.

Last but not least: stamina. I don't get why because 87 isn't much more than the rest of my team, and his workrates should make him tired faster, but he's the one that lasts the longest in my current team.

This is for sure the best Icon under or around 1m I have tried.

STEVEN GERRARD REVIEW

Wow this card is everything you wish for in an Icon. Gerrard 89 version is a vast upgrade to his 86 in terms of a META player. This card can compete with the best midfielders in the game and this is not an exaggeration. If you have the coins available do not think twice in buying have a look at my video review which goes into depth.

Steven Gerrard

Amazing, just like back in his day

The middle Icon Steven Gerrard is everything you'd expect from a box-to-box midfielder. He covers all of the pitch, and while doing so shoots, passes and tackles almost perfectly. I played him with Hunter, cause I apparently haven't given up on FIFA 18 and like my players being as fast as possible. I used him as a CDM in 4231 narrow, but I didn't ask him to stay back, so he played more like a box-to-box.Fr...
