Player Review
87 - Future Stars
Alright so I was using IF Martial as LAM in 4231 but he was feeling like a robot everytime he had to dribble past a player. Sold him and was looking at some differents options, I then saw this absolute gem appear to my eyes. As a lot of people did at the beginning of the game, I used also his normal card and I quite liked him.
First thing, he is fast, really fast. I always had a bit of struggle coming up against Walker at RB, my players couldn't exploit space behind him without getting bullied under 2 seconds. Ikoné allows you to gain more time to use the space behind.
Now the shooting, sadly I only scored tap-in with him because of the squad I have. But no missed, 2 shots meant 2 goals.
Passing ? Very good, you can really feel the high vision stat, short passing also. Didn't use crossing so can't tell.

Now we come to the best part: dribbling. My god this guy can beat you up in a phone box. 99 agility was the stat I was mostly looking for and I'm really not disappointed. Insane balance, insane dribbling, same thing about the composure.
Defending: is this really a topic ?
Physical: I thought he was going to be beaten up but quite a surprise, 61 strength is well compensated by high balance. Stamina is good, agression also for people who press a lot: my case.
Overall I'm really happy with the player but it's a bit overpriced, due to Future Stars hype etc.. Get him only if you have already a good squad and you looking for a winger than can create.
