Player Review

87 - Icon

5.0

Bulgarian hero

By Darkleei, 01-04-2019

Not being a huge FUT fan, this man is the first icon I could ever afford, and I don't regret anything about this card. I was looking for a skilled, balanced player who had decent delivery enough to play as CAM, but also had deadly finishing and dribbling abilities to score on its own when cutting back from the wings, and this lad has it all!

He might be a bit small to play as a striker but I would definitively recommend it as a CAM in this year's 4-2-3-1 formation.

Shooting : Deadly precision, good enough shot power and an incredible composure, this boy has the perfect mix making sure there is just the space for the ball to go in it will go in

Positioning : Always in the right place at the right time, and his runs are a nightmare for the opponents

Dribbling : Excellent control of the ball, very agile to make those turns and sick step-overs, and the 4* skills is a major bonus for him. Also, the ball seems glued to his feet, so that even after being tackled two or three times in a row he will manage to keep it which is quite amazing (probably due to the 92 aggression stats)

Passing : Really decent passing, probably won't work as a playmaker but if you have a player such as 90 De Jong providing the good balls it's not an issue. He can center well and easily find your striker if not too far away. (His free-kick accuracy seems mad but I haven't tried it as flashback Villa is even better)

Pace : With hunter as chem style is is faster than most of defenders, and his pace combined with his aggression makes up for the lack of strength

Strength : might be an issue if you want to hold the ball

Height : if you use him as a striker he obviously won't score a lot from headers

3* weak foot, even if it feels more like a 4* one in game

Hristo Stoichkov

very good striker

He has an incredible shot with his left foot. He won't miss inside the box. It is a shame he only has 3 wf stars. Also, he has a perfect first touch pass, which is necessary for a striker to pass and run. He also steals a lot of balls, he applies pressure to defenders. He is fast, not as other players like Butragueño or Hernandez, his pace feels like 85 which is very good

Hristo Stoichkov

Stoichkov is BEAST (imagine that with KSI's voice)

After hundreds of games with 88 Shevchenko (which I also reviewed on this website, go check it out if you want :) ) paired with CR7, I realised that his passing stats are really a problem because it forced me to use CR7 as a CF and less as a finisher (which I didn't like to do).So I searched for the perfect icon ST/CF/CAM to put as a left ST in my 41212 (2) squad, following a small checklist : - goo...
