Player Review
93 - Icon
I've seen a couple of reviews on here but none that are recent and fit the market today. In a time of TOTSSF players and full sides including these, Drogba stands out. I am a G2 WL player and was bored of the usual meta and carbon copy teams which includes Neymar, Mbappe and a variety of red pick 96+ attackers that have every stat maxed so decided to switch it up. In previous FIFA's I have always preferred the solo striker formations and having a target man who has enough pace to get in behind if needed. In this FIFA no player I have used has been able to live up to this mantle, forcing me to use the 'meta'. Then came along Drogba... Decked out with a cool moments dynamic image and the orange boots he wore in that iconic performance against Munich, Didier was mine.
I am judging him on mostly WL and a few Rivals games here and there. Reading earlier reviews I see that the people who paid 3-4 mil for him were disappointed, comparing him to an expensive Harry Kane (I've used Kane and think he's a great player especially early game) and can understand this criticsm. I managed to get him at £1mil and at that price is a steal.
The man currently has 72 goals in 41 games for me and I am having the most fun I've had on FIFA this year. I think this is a mixture between using a player I love and his card actually now reflecting his value. I've used various TOTSSF players and in my opinion their stats do not show in game. Drogba is a beast. Strong quick and the best finisher I have used on the game. I recommend that you use an engine chemistry style on him, it gives a slight pace boost and also gives him +10 on balance and a boost in reactions. He is obviously not as agile as the likes of Mbappe and Neymar but his strength makes up for that. I think strength is a major draw on a card now with every defender being 90+ pace, you need a leveller. This man hits like a train and finishes like an archer. He is quick enough to beat the back line. A negative is his 4* weak foot but even then I may miss 1/10 on his left as long as you use power shots, his finesse from outside the box on his right is lethal when you get it down. I love a goal out of nowhere!
I can't recommend this beast enough, he has a certain aura about him as if you know you are using a legend. You feel it.
A final comment to point out is that his goals per game record is only bettered by TOTY Ronaldo when looking on Futbin. That tells you everything you need to know.
