94 - Icon

4.5

For those looking to do SBC

By ReviewForYou, 27-05-2019

So first things first I was being curious one day and wanted to look to see what SBC's were out there as i was bored yet again with my squad and wanted to weigh my options with around 500k in the bank. I had a base icon from my fut swap deals and wasnt opposed to using it in an icon SBC if i liked what i saw. To my dismay i was seeing the likes of Laudrup, Deco and other mediocre prime moment icons that i yawned at. then i flipped the page and saw this cheeky 94 overall card staring back at me (i love the way these moment icon decals look). Big VB in all his glory. I had actually used his prime card in the past for 750 k but re nagged and sold him to see to other areas of my squad. what can i say his play style isnt my favourite to play with(i prefer small shifty players), BUT it is the type of player that is dominant in this fifa.

I was piecing together the cost because his expected sbc cost is around 850,000 ish and i knew i couldnt afford it if not for the icon i already had to use. Morale of this story is he is SO WORTH his cost especially if you have some untradeables lying around to use.

His performance for me after my initial 10 games has been a tad inconsistent, BUT the last game he just threw up a casual 4 goal performance and completely won me the game 2 of them headers, 2 of them lazers( all 10 games in Div Rivals)

If you thought corners were already absurd just wait till you see this guy short post. Its kinda like when you see ronaldo or VVD line up at short post against you. you just know its going in and its nice to have that on my side for once.

Also his foot is an actual ballistic missile and it doesnt explode on impact it just keeps on going and going. 3* weakfoot doesnt bug me and it wont bug you either. Trust this man.

If you are on the edge like i was getting this SBC just do it, you arent going to get better value for your coins and im telling you you will enjoy his broken shots and broken headers.

His head is destined to put the ball top bins like PB is destined to be with J on your sandwich
Short post glitch on corners
shooting second to none inside the box
3* weakfoot still produces bangers
great style, looks and feels like an icon
less curve makes his free kicks outside the box scorching

Can be inconsistent at times
sometimes clunky
long passes are not amazing but have no beef with it
always in the right place but sometimes caught sleeping on loose balls

Van Beasten

Well, after a little search finding the best baby icons that I could pack in the end of the month in the garanteed pack of fut swap, I realized that the probablity of packing something that could enter my team was very small. So I start searching the best( and affordable to my budget) icon sbc's. The one I imediately knew that was made for me was Van Basten, amazing shot, great height and strength, nice composure and dribbl...

Prime Moments Marco! Is he worth it.

I did this SBC prime moments icon Van Basten as I started to get a lil bored of having loads of different teams and I wanted a player I can use in any team. I decided to choose Van Basten as I saw that 98 shooting and I thought he'd be immense. 6 foot 2, can head the ball, good strength, immense finishing, composure... I knew he'd be a perfect out and out striker that I can rely on to put away even the most difficult chance...

Super Man Basten

What can I say, this man has one of the most broken shots on FIFA. His shot power and accuracy are insane, his high positioning makes him placed always where you need him. With a catalyst, his passing is fixed, as well as gets a huge boost to pace. His strength helps him hold off defenders to get a powerful shot off that will most likely blast into the back of the net. He can last a full 120 being played on stay forward and...
