Player Review

94 - TOTS Moments SBC

135K well spent

By vlambasten, 16-06-2019

When Icardi became an SBC I completed him because I had 1.6 million and he looked like value for money. I have since loved him so much that I have decided to write my second player review ever on him. As you can see if you look at my team, I have three strikers and, although I sub Crespo off at half time, it is still very hard to get goals. You can see this with Icardi's strike partner Quagliarella who, although he is an amazing card and a ruthless striker, has only scored 8 goals in 15 games. I have played 10 games with Icardi and all of them coming in division three rivals. In these games he has scored about 70% of my total goals and has scored three hat tricks. I do not normally score many goals and all of my strikers with over 50 games have got a goal to game ratio of about 0.6. You can see my in game team here 'https://www.futbin.com//19/squad/8563879'.

Finishing - This is his best stat and it is what makes him that bit better than other strikers. He can score a whole range of goals: long shots; low drivens; finesses and will always score them nine times out of ten. He is an absolute monster in front of goal.
Heading - Although he is only 5"'11 his 99 jumping and 99 heading accuracy well and truly make up for this. Crossing is quite broken in this fifa and Icardi abuses this problem
Value for money - At the time of writing he is 135K which is incredible for a player of his ability. Not only this but you get a prime gold players, a mega pack and a rare electrum players pack which amounts to 110K worth of packs, although you will probably only get about 30K back. If for some reason you were not satisfied with this card his raw value as an SBC fodder is about 110K because of his 94 rating

I am trying not to be one of those people who just say 'There is nothing wrong with him', so have decided to write 2 very honest cons

Passing - If you don't like a passing game then 73 passing is more than enough. I however do quite like to pass and, although strikers don't need much passing and 73 passing is more than most other attackers, it can be quite annoying when he misplaces a few passes.
Uniqueness - There are a lot of other Serie A strikers like him who are just as good stats wise and are only 50K more expensive. TOTS Piatek, Correa and Ilisic all spring to mind and I'm sure they'll do very well and are tradeable which is a large plus.

Perfect Striker

To give you a quick run down. This guy is the perfect striker in my opinion. With 91 finishing he has the most clinical shooting I've seen in this game. Scores them from all angles all day long, inside and outside the box. He's only 5ft 11 but don't be fooled, he wins the majority of headers with 94 jumping and with 91 heading I genuinely think across 30 games he only missed one header. Seriously can't stress his arial abil...

This card is broken

I was initially very disappointed in myself for having been drawn into a bidding war over this card (which i had been eyeing for a long time) and ended up paying 121k for it. Knowing that at this stage of fifa coins matter alot, i contemplated selling him for the same price. I told myself that I would do it after i had tried him. And boy am i glad that i did. I slapped a hunter on him and the rest they say is history.

A Solid Option for Two Striker Systems

Icardi can be a frustrating card to get used to, but when you find his strengths he turns into a really solid option. I first tried Icardi alone up top in a 4-2-3-1, with Mertens and 1st IF Insigne at the two CAM positions behind him. He was very frustrating to play with; his strength was poor, ball control sloppy, and his passes were just not strong enough to get through tight windows without being intercepted. After about...
