94 - Icon

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE

By butthefilmisasaddeningbore, 04-08-2020

Like every other Thursday, I was opening my DR rewards and expected some 82 rated players, like always. My last pack, premium jumbo gold pack... But then, I was little confused, as I saw white flares and I was asking myself if that really is an icon. Italian...CB....and then, this god comes out and points at his card as I jumped out of my chair and constantly said "Cože?" (which means "What?" in Czech) So I put him in my team and after 389 appearences, I have to admit that Fabio saved my ass maybe like 389 times? Honestly, one of the best players I´ve ever used. He can do everything (except finishing but who cares).

So, how is he that good?

Sliding tackles: One of the many things, that makes Fabio priceless. He can get any ball that is going against him. No matter how strong, agile, or fast the opponent is. He gets the ball and creates a counter-attack that leads to a goal. This is the reason why he has 51 assists.

Great playmaker: Yes, this defender, that has 65 passing and 70 dribbling, is a great playmaker in the game. As I said, he can easily get the ball from the opponent and do some 5-star through balls to the front. Also, that dribbling stats are a lie. He gets past 3-4 players very often, feels very agile on the ball.

At the right place at the right time: Imagine this: 1v1 vs your keeper, your defence is nowhere to be seen. Opponent dribbles past your goalkeeper, shoots to an open net and you are about to throw your controller out of the window... But there he is, some how, some way, Fabio ran 30 meters in like 3 seconds and blocks the shot. This happened like 15 times to me. No other defender I tried did the same.

Pace: Pace on the defenders, especially this year, is very important and Fabio is fast as Sonic the Hedgehog on crack. With anchor, he is at 91 pace and he can catch up someone like Kent, Traoré, or any other fast players.

Price: 700-800k for him is a steal. I think that he might be in top 3 Icons under 1 mil, and he definitely is in top 5 defenders under 1 mil. If u can, get him. If u can´t, save up. It´s worth it.

Fabio Cannavaro

Is he worth doing 20 Token in Icon Swaps? - honest

Many reviews out there are made on using a player for 2 or 3 games But for me it's important to see how a player performs in a longer period.As soon as i saw the Icon Swaps season 3, I was not sure whether I should go for the Prime Icon pack or a player. But when I saw Cannavaro, combined with all the trash players my friends had in the Prime Icon pack, I decided to go with Cannavaro. Of course it takes a ...

Fabio Cannavaro

Cannavaro Moments, How good is he really in game?

I went for Cannavaro in Icon swaps. I wanted an end game CB and that is what I hoped Cannavaro would be.At first I was a bit worried about his height and passing abilities. However, his height is not a problem at all. His passing can be questionable though. But you’ll notice that it isn’t that bad and basically similiar to most other center backs.When it comes to defending he really i...
