85 - Icon

3.5

Fun at First But The Hype Dies Down Fast

By blueroad, 13-11-2019

Im probably not the only one who got access to his first icon through ICON swaps, reading some reviews here I had high expectations. At first playing Guardiola feels amazing. His positioning, his interceptions, decent straightforward passing and no nonsense defending makes him a CDM to be reckoned with. Yet as your team gets better you it is inevitable that Guardiola's weak spots will come to light. His dribbling is really disappointing to the extent that you should really not dribble with him in the box or even in midfield . His finishing if you are the attacking minded player leaves a lot to be desired. basically you cannot count on him to have the last pass if he joins in a tiki-taka . he willl fumble that through ball and you will raise your head to the heavens and ask why. You will get another ICON eventually then start to think "how do I replace Guardiola"

Despite his shortcomings I still consider him a great starter ICON and his spanish origin makes him easy to link up with all the big leagues (excepts perhaps ligue 1)

* Decent passing

*Incredible defensive ability

* Strong

* Interceptions and Positioning is top notch

* Dont expect much from dribbling

* Not suited to join in attacks and receive the last pass

Mr Simple himself!

Unless you are one of those bullshit youtubers that want their CDMs to have Pelé skills you will enjoy this card. Pepe plays a simple and effective game, is not a card that will make you go crazy about it, but if you are decent at playing he will be decent for you.

Top CDM.

Hi, I use my swap icons players for getting Pep. And I have to say he's a fucking beast. I have 30 matches with him. 3 goals and 16 assists.With anchor he is very fast and corpulent.

Just There

Well i would like to write this review purely because why not and no one has written a review on here in ages. What can i say he is slow, fat, pretty much on a wheelchair but gets the job done. He is not nearly special but not nearly garbage he is just there in your squad for links. He can defend, pass...ish and thats about it, thats his job but do not play him anywhere else besides CDM he cannot win headers or do anything ...
