Italian Stallion - Left Footed Cheat Sheet

By JordanLankey, 14-10-2018

I used Vieri back in FIFA 16 when they were Legends, not Icons. As soon as I realised he was coming back into it, I had to give him a try again given the Meta of FIFA 19. I tried Shevchenko, Cavani and Van Nistelrooy before, but man Vieri blows them all out of the water!

This year I find strikers that are strong, can header and finish are much more useful than the standard pace demons. Vieri is always in the right position for an finish, and almost any shots on his left foot go in, as long as he is not having to do a stupid 360' turn. His 4* weak foot is a god send and don't be turn away because of his balance and agility, as with the right chem style (I use Marksman) it helps a lot. His positioning, finishing, headers and hold up play is incredible.

I change formation in game now, thanks to the new tactics system. I change to a 4-2-3-1 normally and will play Vieri up top, with Mbappe and Mane as the wide CAMs, Pogba Central CAM, Matuidi and Fabihno as CDMs, and Sandro, Skrinar, Manolas, Florenzi and Handanovic as the defensive line.

Shooting - Inside the box? Outside the box? A header or finesse shot? A volley? Whatever the shot, he will score it or at least get a corner out of it. His left foot is an absolute weapon, and his right foot isn't half bad!
Hold Up Play - Due to his strength his can hold off almost all defenders and play a through ball through or lay it off for his to run through.
Sheer Power - His pace is a good stat, and thankfully due to his strength he feels like a monster running through and pushing off other players.
Composure - Thanks to his 88 composure, he always seems good on the ball and this definitely contributes a lot to his ability to finish from almost anywhere any time.

Agility & Balance - Low but you don't realise it if the right chem style is used, and his strength helps.
3* Skill Moves - If you are a skiller, then he may not be best for you. However, I am a skiller and use Mbappe, Pogba and Mane which is enough for me.
Stamina - This isn't really a problem as he is medium/low. He lasts the whole game well if you leave him on stay forward.
