Player Review
95 - Summer Heat
I read the other two reviews for Ibra, and despite those reviews being very good and shedding some initial light on the card, some of you may be wondering if he is a viable option for gold 1 and higher level players. So, here's your answer!
PACE: 8/10- I mean, 94 pace explains itself. Ibra is very rapid, but if you can, play him as someone who is the 'focal point' or target man in your team. You want to play him like a Lewandowski or Immobile type player because despite being rapid, the body type and his height hinders him a bit.
SHOOTING: 10/10- I have never had many coins in this game, so I have never tried cards like R9, TOTS Lewandowski, cards that have a different shooting animation to others. The best finisher I have used is Summer Heat Perisic, and I thought he was good. With Zlatan, he puts swerve and dip on the ball depending on the situation, which is something I love with the card. At one position, his shot 'swerved' away from the keeper so he couldn't get a hand on it.
PASSING: 9/10- Really, really good. As I said before, he's a hold-up striker and is incredible at his job. At some points, the stamina at the end of the game made his passing a bit iffy.
DRIBBLING: 9/10- The real reason you came here. The Agility (with an ENGINE,) is absolutely brilliant and can send players for a hot dog really easily, probably because it is paired with his dribbling and ball control. His balance doesn't affect him, he has not fallen over once for me, just because his strength and aggression is so good. In front of goal, the composure makes him an ice-cold finisher, a huge impact on the shooting.
DEFENDING: N/A, but he wins the ball back tons because of the 99 Aggression.
PHYSICALITY: 10/10- He just bullies defenders. Will not, can not, be taken off the ball, and just bulldozes defenders like Haland in real life. Exceptional stat. However, you do need a super sub for him at around the 60th minute because of his stamina.
LAST THOUGHTS: Worth it. 100%. Just use Lasagna or Mertens to finish the objectives, and he is an end game card. The fact that he's there for the entire season means you can complete the objective at your leisure.
