Player Review
91 - Icon
First off, I'm a casual player who loves to try new players, meta or not. With getting lucky in my player picks and TOTS packs I decided to sell all of my players and buy baby Zidane.
Before playing with Zidane I´ve played two hundred games with mid Del Piero. When I bought Zidane the difference between the two was noticeable: Zidane is on another level, still in May. And I'm excited to tell you why. Let's review him!
Pace 9/10: Let's be honest, you're not going to buy Zidane because of his blistering pace. But hunter makes the pace a whole lot better. With 96 acceleration and 93 sprint speed he can outrun some defenders, but the most important thing about his pace is the fact that he is fast enough to outrun defenders in the most important moments in the game. Quick combinations with your wingers and striker are one of the greatest things of this card.
Shooting 9.5/10: What can I say except phenomenal? shooting inside the box is on another level. 9/10 shots went in. His 5-star weak foot was a major pro, left/, right? It all went in the back of the net. The finesse shot trait is a pro, this causes that the goalkeeper just cannot stop the goals from being scored. Surprisingly, Zidane also scored many goals from outside the box. But don't overestimate him, he also misses some opportunities, because Zidane is just a human being.
Passing 10/10: This is the reason why I found Zidane a game-changer. 92 vision, with 93 short passing, 88 long passing, and that 5-star weak foot make him one of the best passers in the game. Every short pass and 99% of the long passes arrived at a player on my side. If he messes up a pass his standing tackle is good enough to recover.
Dribbling 9.9/10: Amazing dribbling, honestly one of the best dribblers I've used in this game. With his 5-star skillmoves you're just humiliating players. L1 dribbling is the most effective and fun to use. The fun factor with the man is also a reason you should buy him, I'm not the best player of the game (casually Gold 2) but the shooting, dribbling, and passing combination makes him one of the best players I've used. The only downside is his agility and balance, but that wasn't a problem for me.
Defending 7.5/10: I've played him in different positions, As a cam, and as a cm. In both positions he was a beast. His interceptions and standing tackle helped a lot ingame. You shouldn't play him as a CDM, but he is a monster as a CAM or as a CM
Physical 8/10: His 88 stamina is good enough to last al game, but you notice that he becomes tired in extra time. (Nothing special, I play with Messi and Rashford, and they get tired too.) His strength makes him fun to use too. He can out muscle most of the backs and center-mids.
Conclusion:
If you have the coins you should definitely buy Zidane, he is a complete card with everything you need as a CAM or as a CM. You can't get any player better moneywise, if you are looking for a fun, meta and above all a good player Zidane is your man.
