Player Review

90 - Icon
4.5
OH King Kenny!
By Adjydas, 16-06-2020

Before I begin this review I would just like to point out that I am a division 3/Gold 1/Elite player so I am not the best player in the world!


With me being a lifelong Liverpool supporter and my admiration for King Kenny, I knew that he was the Icon Swap player I had to grind for and boy was it worth it. On his first inclusion into my WL squad he came up trumps carrying my attack to Elite 1 during Premier League Tots for the first time in my Weekend League journey. He was pivotal to my attack scoring from the most acute angles on either foot. With this Dalglish card you get a striker that is more ice cold in front of goal than Fro zone; left foot, right foot it really does not matter.


However, using him now is pretty tough as everyone has a VVD or a Sergio Ramos in their defense and due to the formation i play, the striker can be isolated at times. This was when Dalglsih was most vulnerable, due to his low strength and aggression he is relatively easy to dispossess. Although he does have the fight for the badge trait. he seems to get bullied and pushed over by those top cbs. If i was to play a two striker I would probably be able to get the best out of him once again.


Two things I did find frustrating though was his sharpness on the ball and his passing. Due to his passing being relatively low he sometimes hindered my attacks (I play a way where everyone gets involved so my striker needs to have good passing and dribbling), and really struggled with those over the top balls to my wide cams.


Overall I would highly recommend you picking him up if you are looking for the striker to play off of someone who can bully the VVDs and Ramos' as when it comes to finishing, King Kenny is unmatched.


A true GOAT!

Didn't find his stamina to be a problem, I did use stay central and stay forward so that helped massively

THE KING Kenny Dalglish

I was sceptical at first look at this card, especially considering his price. Within the price you can get a bunch of really good strikers. However, after the first WL I can firmly say that Kenny Dalglish the KING is above all of them, including CR 7. He is trully excellent and I am sure he will be vastly used in this FIFA. What makes him special is his incredible movement and clinical finishing with both feet. In details:

King Kenny

As a Liverpool fan and admirer of King Kenny Dalglish, I knew I had to try this card out at some point. The middle version seemed like a better deal since the small 150k price difference comes with better stats in almost every category, mainly passing and dribbling. Kenny is leading the line both in a 4231 and 4411 with Neymar right behind him. Playing with those two players are probably the most fun I’ve had in Fifa so f...

My favourite player this year

I'm a Division 2-3 player, finishing gold 1 close to elite in WL most of the times. I already tried lots of expensive strikers in Fifa 20 like Baby Maradona, Middle Cruyff, Baby R9, Del Piero and so on and I have to say that Kenny Dalglish performed way better than any of these players. What makes him special is the ability to keep posession even when getting tackled by top tier defenders and the ability to score with both ...
