Underrated ICON ST
By lostmind008, 15-10-2018

Ever since Fifa 19 launched, I have been trying out few ST Icons with in 500k-800k budget considering this year FIFA has been harder to finish comparing to last year.

Main reason I picked Van Basten (baby version) up was his traits for Finesse shots (OP this year for sure)


He also provides you the Height and Strength. Played him in Div Rivals (Div 5 and 4) and also WL matches. The only in my club who has positive goals to game ratio (which is hard to find in this year FIFA).


You are probably getting striker who can finish any chances given to him. No need to go for Timed Finish. Just press "Shoot" button and it will go in. Also, outside the box finesse 95% times goes in unless opponent manually controlling the GK.



  • Finishing
  • Strength
  • Positioning
  • Wins lots of headers (corners)
  • Composure and Clutch Goals
  • Fairly good Stamina (lasts full 90 Mins)
  • Above average Speed (note he is tall so any steps he takes covers longer ground)
  • High agility


  • Passing not the greatest
  • low VISION for long passes

Best ST i've ever used!
By Koljethereviewer, 20-10-2018

So i have been looking for a good consistent striker for so long now. I tried Ronaldo, i tried Shevchenko, i tried Cruyff, i tried Kluivert and so on. But none of them seem to be consistent for me, they could be invisible for a whole match. I needed a striker to play for me in weekend league and be consitent the whole time. So i found Van Basten, he looked insane. He is frickin 188cm tall, he has amazing shooting, agility and so on. This guy is literally the perfect striker, i played him with Hawk to boost that Strength, the pace and shooting even more! And oh my god he can't stop scoring, he has 7 matches, 17 goals and 6 assists. All 7 matches in weekend league, and so far i've won 7/7. so now to his ratings


Pace 83: Honestly idk if it's the guys agility, the hawk chem style or idk what it is. But he feels like one of the fastest cards on this game, must be something wrong with his pace. It honestly feels like he has 94-95 pace. So 10/10!


Shooting 91: Best shooting in fifa 19, no matter where you are on the pitch just hit the shooting button. No need to time it with this guy, the shot power of 90 (99 with hawk) is unsaveable. He is just too god 11/10 on the shooting!


Passing 72: He is really good at 1-2 passing, but his long passes can be pretty shit at times.. 8/10 on passing, which isn't really that relevant as a striker.


Dribbling 86:His mix of agility, reactions, and ballcontrol make him insanely good. The man is 188cm and has 87 agility, he can't be stopped. His dribbling is insane, i've had no problem going past players with this god! 10/10 easily!


Defendig 35: Irrelevant N/A


Physical 76: His jumping is insane, nobody beats this guy in the air. I've used him against Maldini, varane, van dijk and so on so far. And none of them seem to beat him in the air, his stamina is okay. He will definetly last the 90 minutes but in extra time he can get pretty tired. I got to extra time once and even then he scored 1 goal to save me though. Now his strength, it is definetly not 81 (86 with Hawk) the man will not be pushed off the ball, it is literally impossible! So Physical 8,5/10 just because he lacks some stamina and agression.


So his overall rating for me will be 10/10 i really can't find anything wrong with him. He is the best striker i have ever used and i used record breaker Ronaldo in all of fifa 16, i used TOTY Ibra since he got out in 14. I had Pele last year, like there is no one better than this kid. He is the best striker of all time in FIFA!


PS: I change to 4231 or 41212 (2) ingame!! Either he is a striker alone, or on the left side!

  • Shooting from everywhere and anywhere he wants. No matter if its a finesse, bycicle kick, header or power shoot its going into the goal!
  • Pace definetly not 83, his pace is 94-95
  • Passing Really great passing for a striker!
  • Dribbling Insane dribbling, for being so tall he is insane. One of the best dribbleres i have used this year!
  • Physical He feels insanely strong, and with that jumping, heading and height he wins everything in the air.
  • "cheap" this card is cheap for what you get, would not be surprised if this guy is 1m-1,5m when people find out how broken he is!


  • Stamina if you get to extra time
  • Long passing sometimes great and sometimes bad

Amazing goalscoarer
By Alanzinho, 21-11-2018

My favourite player so far this year! A little dragback or a ball roll, then press r1 and do a finesse shot. If you do red timing, no problem. It is a goal. every single time. Totally recommend if you just need a beast in front of goal. Will score you a lot of headers to. I aim for him on first post corner, and he scores them too, with his height and jumping(hawk applied).


I use him as Left striker, beside Bale on Right striker. Tried him in 1 striker formations to(4-4-1-1 and 4-2-3-1). But i love having him on the left striker and do finesse with his right foot, and bale the opposite.


Shot power. finesse shot. long shots. finishing. Positioning. Pace- his acceleration is ok, but his sprint speed is really good. Height! This guy feels dominent on the pitch, and will score you headers, and keep them defenders away.



Passing. my biggest issue, but since he is a striker, not that big problem. Long passing not very good.

Best ST in fifa 19
By yerryerestu, 12-01-2019

I´ve been searching for the perfect number 9 for my team. A player who could score goals and goals. I tried with Zola, Stoichkov, Hernandez and Crespo but none of them worked for me. I saw Van Basten in the market and bought him for 800. At first i didn´t like him because of his pace, but if you search him in the box and shoot, it will work perfect. Amazing shot, Very good headers from corners and incredible placed shot.

  • 92 Positioning: He always is where you want your striker to be.
  • 94 Finishing: He rarely misses a 1v1 situation
  • 85 Heading: He is 1.88 m, his aerial game is amazing
  • 85 Sprint: He isn´t so fast, but when he wins the position to a CB, it is enough to escape from him
  • 62 Long passing: Even it is a bad stat, i don´t even notice when he makes a long pass
  • 81 Acceleration: It is hard for him to reach his top speed
  • 71 Balance: When he faces a tough CB (like Varane or Van Dijk), it is so difficult avoid them
  • 81 Strength: He feels like he has 70 strenght

Marco Van Basten
By gcd17, 30-12-2018

Marco Van Basten is one of the bust ST I´ve ever used. In 53 games (Futchampions and Division rivals) I have scored 65 goals.


83 pace: He is not aubameyang but he is not busquets, his pace is ok and he doesn´t feel slow. 83 pace is ok for him 8/10


91 shooting: OMG his shooting is incredible. Inside the box he scores everything and outside the box he scores a lot of goals due to his finesse shot trait. If you can master the time finishing, with this player you are going to score a lot of goals 10/10


72 passing: he gaved me 22 assists but his passing is very poor to be honest 6/10


86 dribbling: He has a very good dribbling and he is agil (87 agility) and he dosn´t feel sluggish while dribbling 8/10


35 defending: Who gives a fuck


physicality 76: He is strong and has a lot of jumping that allows you to score a lot of headers. He has 77 stamina... meh... 8/10
