Alright, so Litmanen is 6 tokens and from what I've seen so far people are wondering whether to go with him or Laudrup. Personally, I am going for both and have recently got Litmanen and tested him out for those who are not sure about him because there are no more reviews about him atm. Let's get started (INITIAL RATINGS ARE WITHOUT CHEM STYLE)
PACE: 7.5/10 His pace is not great, not as fast as Laudrup or flashback Rooney. However, with an engine his pace is very good, 8.5/10 at highest. He is very swift with the engine and it is hard to take the ball off of him
SHOOTING: 9.5/10 Imo, 10/10 is only reserved for players like R9. This is why you buy/get the card. I play him at ST in a 442 alongside Flashback Wayne Rooney and he buries everything. Finesses from the edge of the box, one on ones, low driven, long shots, the lot. No need to be upgraded. His off the ball movement is superb, even better than the shooting. Gets in the right positions when needed, is there when he needs to be, can drop into the CAM role when he needs to, the best thing about the card.
PASSING: 9/10 Very, very good. Is a brilliant playmaker and has set up Rooney quite a few times for me. Very very good at it.
DRIBBLING: 7.5/10 Same as pace. With an engine, he gets 87 agility and 87 balance and that is good enough, will go to 8.5/10 with chem style
DEFENDING: N/A
PHYSICALITY: 6/10 Not his strong point. Can be summed up by his 24 aggression. Can run for the whole game with 91 stamina
Overall, he is very underrated. EA giving him to us for 6 tokens is definitely a gift, he has outperformed Raul 88 in every respect for me who was 10 tokens in the last season. Unbelievable card, is worth picking up if you want some fun, a solid striker, VERY good value for time and/or if you are a fan of him. In my opinion, he his only 6 tokens due to lack of skills.
FINAL VERDICT: Better than expected, does everything that is wanted from him. Can play in heavy gameplay as well (my game lags pretty much every time I play)

Here it is, the super Jari, and for only 6 tokens. I am here to finish what I started when I entered in his Futbin page when the Icon Swaps 3 appeared.
He is a world class player, just so classy in the attacking midfielder position, but not usable as ST.
If you are against him, do not let him shoot. His 95 finishing, 90 long shots, 97 volleys... make every chance go in. His pass is just ok for cam, just don’t abuse with the long passing.
Obviously, he needs engine to boost his agility.
Take him, you won’t regret.
- OP shooting
- Finesse’s trait
- Outside foot shooting trait
- 4 Weak Foot
- Decent Passing
- 91 stamina
- Agression
- Long Passing
- Agility (fixed with engine)
So this is my first review on Futbin and what better way to start it off than with this man?
Up until FIFA 20, I had only ever used Icons in FIFA 18 World Cup Mode but seeing as I could get a Prime Icon Moments card for minimal effort (I'm not a very hardcore player), I was determined to fit him in my squad.
And did he disappoint? Absolutely not.
If you have a question about my tactics or instructions feel free to message me!
*All in relation to using Engine chem style*
PACE - 8/10: Jari isn't a speedster, but he doesn't need to be. With Engine, he's quick enough to breeze past centerbacks and create enough space to unleash his Kraken of a right peg or ping a through ball in.
SHOOTING - 10/10: Elite shooting. Finesse shots, cross-goal bangers, clinical finishing, this man can do it all. His attack positioning is probably his biggest strength, he'll always find the right spot to be.
PASSING - 8.5/10: While his passing isn't Pirlo-esque or anything, it gets the job done. He's been able to pick out a pass or run from a striker or winger, but don't expect every ball to be inch-perfect. Engine definitely improves this and I highly recommend it.
DRIBBLING - 8.5/10: Similar to pace, it's not phenomenal, but it gets the job done for him to create space and play to his strengths. Also, only having 3* skills kinda detracts from this as well, but he has enough control to be able to shimmy and mug off a defender in the box.
DEFENDING - 5/10: Obviously you're not getting this card for his defending abilities, but he did surprise me in winning the ball back the odd time out. Don't expect too much from Jari in terms of being a ball winner.
PHYSICAL - 7/10: While it wasn't great, he still has just enough strength to MAYBE bully an average defender. Also, his stamina is insane ;) and could last the whole game if need be.
I got this guy from icon swaps and he is amazing. He scores basically every shot and gets about two assist per game. I would really recommend him to anyone not bothered to much icon swaps.

If your looking for a cheap icon swap whos an absolute beast look no further. Only played limited games with him so far, but he scored a hat-trick in his first game, and hasn't gone a game without scoring. I played him at a middle cam in a 4231 with no chemistry style on. His passing is good for slow build up play, but he still has the brace to go on the break if need be. His shooting outside of the box is amazing, and has finished countless shots that most players normally wouldn't.

I recently got Litmanen from icon swaps since i didn't do that many. I said okay he looks pretty decent and i didn't feeling like grinding icon swaps anymore. I put him up top and since then he has been world class. I have him partnered up with werner and the link up between them two is sublime. I didn't see that many reviews on him so i thought I might as well write one. (this is my first review so it probably wont be to good)
LItmanen is a top class finisher. His 95 finishing and composure means that if you get the ball to him in the box he will 9 times out of 10 will score it. Depending on which formation you use he can either be a great linkup partner for your other St or at Cam he can play line splitting passes. The chemistry style i would say best suits him is the Engine. Since he has quite low agility and balance.
Without a chem style litmanen feels slow and clunky on the ball. 3 star skill moves also isnt too good either. The last con would be even though he has 95 finishing and composure sometimes he can let that one clear cut opportunity miss.
So i was thinking of getting him Gattuso and the prime icon pack but i wanted to get him for the links and because i loved him in real life.As Gattuso says sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe shit.His shooting is good but he misses some easy shots sometimes.

Dribbling
I only started doing Icon swaps in the final season of swaps - so I went for the easy option of Litmanen, I didn't expect much, but boy did he deliver.
Firstly - I play him as a central CAM in a 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 with PIM Overmars to his left and 91 Bruno SH to his right, with 95 FB Dries Mertens up top, while running an engine. He is incredible for his price and how easy it was to get him for the 6 tokens it was.
Pace: His pace is average, 85 at this stage of the game is questionable, especially for an attacking card, however, with an engine - he gets it buffed up to 90, which for a central CAM is fine, every now and then it hurts but generally I have faith that if a dink it over the defensive line and Litmanen is on the end of it, he'll win the ball - 8/10
Dribbling: Again, his dribbling is fine, apart from the agility, at 77, this is why the engine chem style works for him. With it, he has 87 agility and balance, and incredible dribbling stats aside from those two. Although he isn't the fastest to turn, he always does it fast enough to get a pass or shot off, and it has never really affected my experience - 7/10
Shooting: This is where he really shines, his finesse shot trait, 95 finishing and 90 long shots mean that those edge of the box shots almost always go in. Also, in any position within the box he is deadly too, his great composure means he rarely bottles a shot and most efforts at least worry the keeper, I have scored some screamers with this card - you can always boost it with a finisher to get unreal stats - 99 in everything apart penalties at 97, but I really don't think that it's necessary - 10/10
Passing: His passing is just fine, short passes make their way to the target 90% of the time, long lobs less so, however I really think that the engine or another chem style which boosts passing is necessary in order to make sure he doesn't ruin any nice build up plays you get going - 7/10
Defending: It's shocking, but does it really matter?
Physical: He has got stamina, which for his position is the most important stat, especially for a player like him, and his strength is decent - however, yes, 24 aggression, it doesn't seem to affect him too much but very now and then when you want him to fight for a loose ball, he just kinda sits there, which is a shame, but like I said, not too big of a deal - 6/10
Shooting is on point, from anywhere in or around the box
Passing is consistent
Dribbling is consistent
Runs the whole match, no need to sub him off
4* weak foot
Aggression, is a paper towel
Not super agile - but its decent, I don't mind but some will
Defending
3* skills, but I don't do many skills anyway
tbh i wanted a cam and when icon swaps 3 came out i wanted him. when i got him i used him on engine he can legit play cam,cf,st he is a very good play he is worth it.so if u decide to get trezeguet i think u should consider litmanen over him.
he feels very quick even though on engine he has 90 pace. In weekend league he is ideal for stamina and he can shoot.
i had flashback iniesta and litmanen was so much better i use him in a 4-1-2-1-2 and bakayoko.
Decided to grab this man in icon swaps, because his base card stats looked decent and an Engine chem style would help with pace and balance. Now I don't know if it's because of his positioning, 3* skills or that I just flat out don't like him, but he couldn't seem to perform regularly for me. He was played at CAM in a 4231, surrounded by Maeda at ST and Nakajima and Quaresma at LAM and RAM respectively, but sometimes switched him to ST due to a few recommendations. Very often I noticed how passive he is on come back on defence instructions at CAM, but when he did come back, he would NEVER sprint to counter for me. The shooting is great, passing was perfect, pace is okay, dribbling is a 50/50 gamble and his physical produced moments where he would get tackled without an opponent touching him or the ball. He sort of just ran away scared. Decided to get my 87 IF Bruno Fernandes back. Might give him a second chance later on ...
-Great shooting (if you could ever find him in a shooting position)
-Pinpoint passing at all ranges
-4* weak foot is decent
-Chemistry links (like any other icon)
-Dribbling was a game of chance, sometimes produced the greatest touches I've ever seen, sometimes has the touch of a rapist...
-Physical is non-existent
-3* skills
-Positioning was SUPER INCONSISTENT
-Horrible haircut
