Im a div 2 player and half way through my weekend league I hit a wall with my prime Crespo who I felt wasn't cutting it against all these OP pay to win teams, so I used him in the SBC for Kluivert, and it was the smartest move of my life. In 10 games he scored 12 goals and got 8 assists. I start my games in a 41212(2) with him and prime Butragueno up top so usually my goals to game ratio with my strikers is lower because they share goals, then at half time i switch to a 4231, however this is the first ST I've used that has a positive ratio when I play like this. His attacking positioning in my opinion is his greatest attribute he is ALWAYS in the right spot whether it be for a header or a pass. I used a hawk chem style during the 10 games and his heading feels like CR7, 94 heading accuracy is insane. His shooting is all maxed out besides the long shot which is 84 however he still scores bangers. His strength is also incredible when pressing LT he completely bodied a TOTY VVD and knocked him on the floor. The passing is also very good, he has better short pass, long pass and vision then prime R9. The only reason I could see someone being hesitant about getting this card is because of the agility and balance, however i never really found that to be huge a problem maybe because I have Ibra who plays cam after half time and i'm used to taller players, but he feels a lot less clunky then Ibra. In all, unlike a lot of other players in this game, his stats actually feel like what they say in game and I haven't played with a more complete #9.

Kluivert, the goal machine

Needed a top rated striker for my team, Kluivert definitely was the answer.

Guaranteed goals with shots from inside the box.

I use him as my lone ST in a 4-3-3.

Pace : Putting an engine in him does enough to boost his pace.

Shooting : OP stats for shooting, his goal stats speak for itself. No weakness in any aspect of shooting.

Passing : His passing stats are okay, he does not seem to misplace any passes. As a ST, it does not cause a lot of problems.

Dribbling : Quick and agile. Easy to move around and beat defenders if dribling is your game. Skill moves are awesome for a ST because of his 4 stars.

Physical : Very stroy, he can easily hold of most defenders to make the shot.

His jumping is also one of his best stats. He will out-jump everyone to get that header in.

Can change the game with his shots at any time of the game.

A true forward.

  Patrick Kluivert was a player I would love to be old enough to watch when he was playing the beautiful game. Watching videos and hearing stories about him was very intriguing to me. I'm happy to see players like Ronaldo and Messi. Anyway, Patrick Kluivert Optimus Prime is a beast, he scores goals with incredible ease. Is super fun and playful playing with this legend.

The title is called the real kluivert since this card is what his prime should have been! I saw there are alot of reviews here but I decided to actually play two weekend leagues and alot of rival games with him before writing this review. You're reading this because you're unsure, I hope I can help you with that. I've tested him for 108 games a mix of rivals, WL (G1) and some squad battles on legendary. He played as the tip of the spear in a 4231. He scored 108 goals and gave 52 assists. Most people will say that this is a great contribution on paper it is. Ingame he could have had 200+ goals.

He isn't the finisher I wanted. His movement off the ball is good, always in the good position. But when he is one on one with the keeper it has 75% of going in the other 25% is something weird. You can shoot with the same shotpower everytime, sometimes it's a banger other times it's a miss. For this price I didn't want that.

Crossing and corners is another story, he is the boss! The finishing could be fifa.. who knows a perfect green timed shot from 8 yards should go in simple as that.

I won't dump this card still one of the best striker icons I've used. He is above the bunch but below the top icons. For me he plays better than Hernandez, Klose, Crespo, Lineker, Vieri, Van Nistelrooy, Shearer, ..

If those cards get a moments it another story. He is not as good as R9 or CR7.

I used an Engine on him. He is alot quicker with the balance boosted, finishing is high enough without chemistry.

What a guy! Always wanted to use the this icon and decided (after saving up for months) that I should get his normal prime. Have to say, his prime was actually very usable and a lot of fun. Would definitely recommend that card but then I saw the SBC for this prime icon moments of Kluviert and thought it was a must do. So, I did it and currently, he's my favourite player in my team. He's such an aerial threat and has really good dribbling for a 6"2 player. Also, obviously can fit into anyone's team and get links with every player. I guarantee that you won't be disappointed with this card as it's such a cool item to have.
