93 - Icon

5.0

Maradona good, Pelé Better, George : Best

By Goldexperience, 13-02-2019

I don't know where to start, so far this prime icon version of George Best have been amazing and by far the best player that I've used this year (used pretty much every good attacking player apart from CR7).

It all started with that SBC release, I had an untradeable icon that i got from some rewards and I was only waiting for a huge Icon SBC to get rid of it.

Which I did Eventually when EA released the Prime SBC of George Best and it all started from there...

Being a huge fan from regular Mbappé in game I had a problem with the two players playing on the right side of the pitch so i started Best for chemistry reasons and once games started i would play Mbappe as my striker and Best as my CAM. OH BOI.

Quick : To be honest he isn't the fastest player i've tried this year, (i'd give this award to POTM Sterling) but he's more than fast enough and can get rid of any defender when he's starting from a good position
Finesses : This guy is literally and figuratively a legend when it comes to finesses, how many time did he come up clutch in games by scoring amazing NON-TIMED FINESSES in the very last minute, I can tell that it was an amazing upgrade to my team, his positioning and his right foot are out of this world
Finishing and shot power : When he's in the penalty area 9/10 if he shoot you can be sure that it'll be a goal, his finishing coupled with his shot power a deadly weapons when it comes to scoring goals.
Trough balls : As a CAM and with Mbappe in front of him it comes without to say that a brilliant passing ability is needed and he definitely got it, how many time was i amazed by a ball that seemed at first like a no go and that ended up arriving perfectly of a Mbappe in a solo run to the goal, dream.
Weak foot : I couldn't recommend his weak foot shooting ability because i was mainly shooting with his right foot, but when it comes to his passing it was really good, there probably is better options but it's more than enough
Physicality : That probably was the aspect of Best's game I was the least expecting, he doesn't have a great jumping and heading ability, as he isn't the tallest player ever obviously but when it comes to strength and balance I was amazed by how he got rid of defenders and then threx them away with his arms, obviously he'll sometimes get caught up by defenders but i'd say in 7/10 challenge he would keep the ball.
Skill moves : 4 stars are really good, la croqueta with him doubled with his shooting are a deadly combination

Height and heading : Obviously something you won't expect from him. However it's always nice to have a player that can contribuate in this area of the game which isn't the case with Mr Best
Skill moves : He's already deadly but considering what kind of amazing dribbler he was as a player EA could've gave me a 5th star.
Yellow cards : I don't know what is up with referees in this game with George Best but he seems so quick when he tries to get the ball from defenders that he'll very often tackle them. We're not talking about tackles from the back but still, he'd get yellow cards a lot due to this very aggressive way to run at defenders.

George Best

Simply The BEST RW

this is my 1st review for 19 and i didn't plan on writing any reviews in 19 but this card has stood out so much for me than i had to let people know while he's still at a pretty manageable price. The best way i can describe him is to take the best qualities of POTM hazard and CR7 and combine them into 1 player and you get prime best (obviously minus the 6 foot 2 height). he shoots like ronaldo and even heads like him too,...

George Best

BEST player in FIFA 19

I play him middle CAM on 4-2-3-1 (switch in game) with marksman chem style, and he has an amazing goals per match ratio (playing div rivals div 4, fut champs and squad battles legendary), also he can assist as well. The dribbling on him its just incredible, better than messi, and his shooting better than cristiano. The only let down on him its his physical, can be bullied often, but using skill moves and driblling he can ge...
