94 - Icon

5.0

Absolute Game Changer!

By FCCactus, 26-08-2020

Okay, I'm really late for this, aren't I?

I got him for free in the any Icon player pack objective and... to be honest I was a bit hesitant to use him, as I had TOTSSF Havertz & Summer Heat Zlatan as my two strikers in a 4-4-2 formation.

I played him on get in behind in my 4-4-2 and, I got nothing from him. he wasn't in the right position, he couldn't convert his chances, everything was going wrong, and I almost gave up on him... BUT before making this mistake, I took a look on the reviews on this card, and thanks to the first review that I read, I decided to follow everything that wise man told.

Put him on balanced, slap a catalyst on him, and obey to everything he does.

OH MY GOD DID I GET RESULTS!!!

I decided to go for a more possession based squad & switched to a 4-3-1-2 with Havertz as CAM, Zlatan as a false 9, and Van Basten, as himself. and in the 20 games I've played with him in division 6, he scored 24 and assisted 17.

He knows what he's doing, and you should let him do whatever he wants. He's standing, pretend he's not there. He's walking sideways, switch the play to his side. He makes a run, pass the ball and wait for the inevitable rage quit.

Pace: not the best, but a +10 will go a long way
Shooting: Fantastic.
Passing: one touch passes are his specialty
Dribbling: don't you dare put an engine on him, because he is a master of close touch dribbling
Defending: OK for a striker
Physicality:his jumping is decent, aggression isn't the best, and stamina is very, very good.
Presence in the game: The man for the big games, I can't tell you how many comebacks he has performed.

Conclusion: not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed, all along.

He took me to Elite - The most complete #9 in FIFA

If you are looking for a TRUE striker in this game, look no further. PIM Van Basten is the player that I say "taught" me how to play FIFA. Before him, I was consistently Gold, with the odd Elite finish. After I bought him, I started finishing consistently Elite, with the odd Gold finish. Let me explain how this card achieves this. MVB can be run either alone or with a partner. He is a...

amazing 9/10 striker

I have used him in Weekend leauge and he was amazing. I got gold 1 and he scored 38 goals and 12 assist in 30 games. When you shoot with him it is a goal. His dribbling is verry good and he is verry agile. he does have 3* skillmoves but I dont skill verry much so it was not a issue.

MVB Review

This is a review of Mr. MVB. How i came into acquiring this man was through some trading, I saw on PC that someone had put him for 240K bid price and had managed to steal him despite being 320K. I tried to sell him for a couple days but no one wanted him. And when I checked him, I was his second owner. He was a fresh card, because of this, it had occurred to me that perhaps I could try him. I tried him in a 4222 as a second...
