Player Review
92 - Icon
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 going for Bergkamp, but after watching many online reviews and contemplating wether he was worth the grind or not I decided to go for someone who was gonna take less time, Michael Laudrup.
And i am not regretting it I’ve played about 40 games with this card now and he is by far one of the best cards I’ve played with on FUT this year. With a combination of technical dribbling and his ability to glide past people he is a pleasure to play with and a player who will not take much time to convince you that he’s SERIOUSLY good.
With him averaging about 1.2 goals per game which is very good considering I’ve been playing him CAM, this is also surprising considering his sketchy shooting stats. But with the combination of the right chemistry style (in my opinion a sniper) and his traits, the finesse shot and outside of the foot shot this has not been a problem and in fact he has been finishing shots that I haven’t seen my 90 rated Luis Hernandez finish before.
About his passing and dribbling, his best stat is definitely his dribbling, he on the game is definitely the best dribbler I’ve played with, simply gliding passed people and then either making a 40 yard ping or finishing a chance. His passing is also great wether is be shot or long he has been spot on also making difficult passes with his heel etc.
But sadly there are a few downsides to this incredible card most obvious his physical stats including his stamina. With the only 65 physical he does have the knack of being “barged” of the ball By defenders this is why it is important to not overuse his dribbling stats and too offload he ball if there’s a chance on. His stamina stats can also some times be a problem with him either having to be subbed around 70th minute or having to have a boost in fitness before a squad fitness is due.
But considering all the +’s. of this card these stats are only minor issues making this an incredible card who is worth ALL 9 tokens, so for anyone looking for a CAM, CF, or ST this has to be an option to look at !!!
