90 - Icon

2.5

Not worth

By squib, 11-05-2020

I got gattuso in Icon swaps as I needed a cdm to link my team together. I did know that his pace, agility, balance and dribbling were low but as I had planned to keep him deep and not in a position where he would need to be a creative force in the team. However, he turned out to be terrible. I played him cdm in a 4231, next to objectives Fred with 91 sane, TOTSSF Giovinco and headliners Traore at CAM, and 92 Dalglish at striker.

Feels like a bus, his low agility, dribbling and pace meant that as soon as he won the ball (which, when he got in a position to tackle he was good at to be fair) he was unable to get away and too often lost the ball straight away.

Low pace meant that he rarely got near to the opposition player in position so he was pretty much invisible for the whole game. I played him for the first half of the weekend league but ended up dropping him for 87 socrates who I already had in the club to play cdm next to objectives Fred.

I have now fully replaced him with TOTSSF Anselmo playing on 7 chemistry and am probably going to put him straight into the next guaranteed TOTSSF pack sbc.

good at tackling
decent short passing
links the whole team together (icon links)
stamina (easily ran out the whole game)

pace
low agility and balance turns him into a bus
shooting (rarely gets in a place to shoot but if he does may as well pass sideways or backwards so the chance isn't wasted)
height (for a cdm to sit next to objectives Fred I would have preferred a taller player)
dribbling (very low dribbling partnered with low pace means that when he wins the ball he can't get away from the player he just tackled)
2 star skill moves is way to low, would prefer minimum 3 star for my cdm

Moments Gattuso, Absolute beast

This guy is a monster ingame.I got all the tokens less than 1 day after icon swaps came because I couldnt imagine a team withot this card and for 7 TOKENS. this guy outruns every attacker he goes in for eery tackle and he always ALWAYS comes out with the ball.Hes always helping the defence and somehow he just teleports and helps the attack as well, his shooting surprised me, he finished all the chances ...

Gattuso from icon swaps

I picked this Gattuso card from icon swaps for I needed a good defensive midfielder. I started him at cam then switched him to cdm later in game. If there is one thing you should know about gattuso it's that he might take a while to get used to.After I got used to using him he would win every challenge he went in for.He is definitely worth the grind. He is one the short side at 5 foot 10. He is worth the grind considering...

Sometimes may be good, sometimes may be shit

So I packed Valencia Libertadores out of the untradeable Libertadores player pack a while back, and I had mixed feelings about it: I really liked the card, kind of meta and fun to use, but it was impossible to link in my team. Then, when Icon Swaps 3 came out, I was really excited about Gattuso PIM: I could play my Valencia on 7 chem with him, I needed a CDM and he looked genuinely good. I managed to get the 7 tok...
