Prime Moments Laudrup - Complete Review
By Salesman93, 23-02-2020

Okay, so to add some context - I am a regular Gold 1 to Elite 3 player, and regularly beat a lot of the esports players from Australian clubs. Have also finished top 100 in the ROW region quite a few times. I also love trying players that you don't see very often, and trying to work them out. I actually loved Prime Laudrup, so when this one came out - I was itching to try him.


I don't usually write reviews mainly because of the time it takes, but think he has done enough to warrant me sharing the joy of Laudrup. I'll break it down to the base stats. Note that I switched between a Deadeye and a Marksman on him too.


Pace: 8/10

Not rapid, not slow - but certainly fast enough for the CAM role. Obviously, pace itself on him isn't going to save him from 90+ paced defenders, but if you have some dribbling ability - you'll be able to keep his body between your opponent and the ball very easily.


Dribbling: 9.5/10

Okay so this is one of the areas where Laudrup really justifies his coin. He has amazing balance, often wins 50/50 balls against quality defenders and seems to autopilot to a position where he can keep the ball away from his defender. Turns well, and makes some sexy first touches too (backheels, flicks etc).


Passing: 10/10

The second area where this man excels. Laudrup can pick a pass from anywhere, and any type of pass too. The best passing player I have used all year, and I think EA might've bugged him to be supremely good in this area (maybe to make up for his shooting injustice).


Shooting: 8/10

Not the greatest shooting CAM, by any stretch. But he does score some amazing goals, and his finesse shot is OP as anything. Often will chip the ball top corner slowly, it's really pretty to see and haven't seen any other player produce finesse shots like that, apart from Ronaldinho who I used in Drafts.


Defending: 3/10

Not a defender.


Physical: 6/10

Wont barge anyone off the ball, but does put his body in the right position and often wins fouls too. Good enough, and I set him to stay forward to preserve his stamina.

Prime icon pack - NOT WORTH RISK

So, i am a div 5 player who’s is quite honestly not very good at the game. But I’m always looking to improve my team without spending too much money on the game. So I am always looking too get OP cards for no cost (icon swaps). For the last few seasons I have been grinding for Icon swaps every time doing Keane and Nesta for icon swaps 1 and Hernandez for icon swaps 2. This icon swaps I had the same idea planning on goin...

Worth it

I am a gold 2 player, not so bad, not so good. When I got to 9 tokens, I chose Laudrup before the pack, beacuse i was afraid of packing someone like moore or vieri. I wasn't expecting nothing amazing from this player, I just wanted to have a good play making player, and he is perfect for the role.

Didn´t expect him to be so good!

After getting the Prime Icon Pack from Icon Swaps and packing Ryan Giggs, I thought I will get Michael Laudrup because he actually looked like a great card. I have now played a whole Weekend League with him, so I think I can now give a good impression of his abilities.I played Laudrup in a 41212(2) as my right striker and gave him the Hunter chemistry style. I normal...
