Player Review
86 - Icon
While opening the advanced sbc packs with some friends, i stated 'i have never packed an icon', which is true. I have only packed icons from guarantees. I played over 700 games with this card last year, so when he popped out of a 50k pack a few hours into my trial i was buzzing. I am holding onto him into the game fully comes out (in the hopes he rises or actually begins selling) because no one has the kind of money to throw about buying this guy. He has a very well-rounded card, he rarely gets shoved off the ball (not many people have physical midfielders this early in the game) and he wins so many more headers then he did when i used him mid-game last year. His passing is one of his best attributes, he can ping long, short and put in a great cross, corner and free kick. His defending stats are good, but i feel he is wasted at cdm. If you want a cheap cdm that has the defensive ability of gullit but can't attack or win headers that much then buy gbamin. He does like to attack, he will score a few goals, popping up with a few headers at the back post because yet again, not many people have good full backs at this stage in the game. I know that my team is very average beside gullit, so he has to dominate my midfield in order to help me win games, and he does so. In terms of value for money.... lets just say right now he will play brilliantly, but 1.5mil is ALOT for a card.
