Player Review
88 - Icon
I got this card by doing the Icon Swaps challenges.. I was really torn between him and 85 Seedorf but in the end I picked Koeman. And I don't regret it a single bit! What a game changer! This card has been so crazy good for me. I'm a Gold 2/3 in WL, but after getting this card I managed to get Elite 3 for the first time! Normally I would concede 2-3 goals a game, and that would make me lose.. After the arrival of Koeman I rarely conceded more than 1 goal, which helped me win a lot more games! I like to play out from the back and Koeman makes it easy for me with his high passing stats. He's scoring free kicks for fun, and he is a boss in the box. You could even use him in a 5 back line and move him further up the pitch in game if you need to. I used the Shadow chemistry style which will give him the required pace to battle the oppositions pacey strikers! If you didn't get him in the Icon Swaps I would recommend buying him if you have the coins to pay 500k for a CB.
Pace: Easily keeps up with the quickest strikers, as well as he can drive forward with the ball himself to get an extra player while attacking.
Defending: Literally nothing gets past him!
Shooting: Great long shots and free kicks
Passing: He is really useful for me during the build up play because of his passing stats
Physicality: Its extremely rare that he loses a duel or gets pushed of the ball
Dribbling: Didn't really notice any issues with it, but I can see that people might have a more difficult time if using him further up the pitch.
Stamina: Didn't notice any issues with him, could easily play 120 min if needed to.
Can't really think of a single con..
