92 - Icon
So I got this guy in my Prime Icon pack. Wasn't disappointed, but wasn't ecstatic either. But, I obviously tried him out since other than maybe the SM and Composure this looked like a class card and that's just what it turned out to be. Like most people I thought he'd not be clinical with his 60 composure, boy was I wrong. I replaced him for CR7 in my squad and he immediately filled his shoes.
In 17 champs games this guy scored 25 goals and got 9 assists (note out of the 17 games I believe 5/6 were early RQs where he defo could've gotten more). He finished everything with his left foot and fits the meta way better than CR7 with his high agility+balance. There wasn't an instance where I felt that his composure cause him to not score. If I tried him without prior knowledge I genuinely would guess it to be around 90. Additionally, I felt his positioning to be up there with some of the best I've experienced, always knows which runs to make.
His passing is very solid for a ST as long as you keep it relatively short.
With a hawk his physicals are ok, sometimes he manages to keep the defender away but usually he loses the battle. His stamina is enough to last to the 60-70th minute, I've sometimes played him the full 90 without real issues. For what its worth in fifa 20, his heading is pretty decent.
His pace is great, with his high dribbling stats he feels a lot faster and comfortable outpaces CBs.
Overall, I feel this card is an absolute bargain. People sleep on him because of his composure and don't want to risk getting him, but I assure you it's not a decision you regret. For this price class easily the best Icon ST available.
