91 - Icon

Ricardo izecson dos Santos leite
By vargarmen, 23-03-2020

after grinding for 9 tokens I finally got my prime icon pack, opened, boom. Kaka. I was shocked but felt a bit strange since I got Ben Yedder potm, baby Zidane and toty Messi. I gave him a try at ST alongside Messi in 4-4-2 ingame formation and man, oh man, he did so well for me. Scored a brace in his debut and cut Ben yedder to bench immediately. His dribbling stats must be boosted since he's a bit slow to turn but with sniper or marksman he'll do the job for you. His shooting and dribbling animations are unique, and this I found the most satisfying about him, he makes you enjoy playing the game. His longshots will make the opponent ragequit. He's a gamechanger. The presence of the Brazilian icon is so visible, his passing is out of this world. You might feel that he's not a tank despite his presence, as his strenght isn't the best, but he is a true icon in this FIFA. in terms of price, it is an expensive card. if you don't love Kaka irl you can find better options under his market value.

Prime Icon KAKA, available in Icon Swaps.
By MaximusLimited, 07-04-2020

Hi everyone, I am a division 2 player and a regular WL G1 player. I used this card in 2 weekend leagues and I will give you my opinions on this card.


So a couple weeks ago I bought Prime Icon Kaka to test him out and see if he is worth getting in Icon Swaps for 15 tokens. I tried him out as a CAM and as a Striker.


At first glance Kaka seems like a very good card with great stats. However, in game his dribbling isn't as good as the stats make it appear to be. The same goes for his pace. Because of his height and body type, Kaka often feels clunky in game, especially when the gameplay isn't great.


The strengths of Kaka are definitely his passing and shooting. His passes seemed perfect and his shooting was also very good, even with his weak foot. If Kaka gets into a dangerous position he is likely to score. That being said, because of his dribbling and pace I felt like he rarely got into dangerous positions.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Final verdict: For me, Kaka is a good player, but he was not a difference maker and I personally would not get him in Icon Swaps 3.

  • Amazing passing
  • Great finishing with either foot
  • Good strenght on the ball
  • Dribbling: Feels clunky in game
  • Pace: Not as fast as the card says he is
  • Not an Endgame player: in my opinion he wasn´t a differencemaker.

Worth the Icon Swaps grind !/?
By Futalyst, 06-04-2020

To give you all a bit of understanding on what type of player I am: Joe Average is the name. In Rivals I'm a Div. 4 player, WL normally gives me between 15 and 20 wins. Thanks to some amazing packs three months back, I had the funds to build a decent team that really makes me enjoy playing FIFA - most of the times. One thing that was lacking was a good number 10. Of course, my normal De Bruyne card was decent, but I needed an upgrade there, especially in terms of speed. So when Icon Swaps III came out, Kaka became my main target. A very friendly FB-member reminded the communtiy that, when aiming for Kaka' and the Prime Icon Pack, it was a wise decision to pick the pack first, just in case you'd pack...Kaka. And so I did. The Brazilian Flag appeared, 'CAM' appeared ("Please, don't give me Rivaldo!", not even thinking about Socrates or Mr. P.) and there was...Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite! After packing Carlos Alberto in the Base Icon pack earlier, this was something I couldn't complain about! I fancy the 'Mr. Nice Guy' type of players, so this guy suited my 3-5-2 team perfectly. After checking FB, 'Deadeye' was the chemistry I've put on him.


Packing him on Wednesday, this gave me some first games on Thursday, before starting the WL on Friday. And what a start it was, especially for my new number 10 (actually wearing number 8)! In my first 10 matches (7-3) it was goals galore! It felt like everytime he was near the goal with enough space to shoot, a goal was the result. Also his passing and movement was better than what I was used to from KdB. If Kaka has the space, his running is just like you expect from him, although I have to say he doesn't feel super-pacey. His link-up play with my two strikers was amazing and his flair passing to my wingmen was a joy to the eye. On Saturday, with a way higher level of opponents, his goals/games ratio fell a bit, but he still was vital in quite some matches. Because of a lack of time for Sunday, the 18-win player pick was the goal, which Kaka definitely helped me reach.


Overall Kaka is a very, very good player. Probably not end-game/elite with the meta-options available in FUT, but so much fun to play with. Worth the money? Difficult to decide on, but if he is a player you like/liked, you'll definitely recognize his playing style and will enjoy having Kaka in your team!

In order of impact-level:


  • Finishing - Un-be-lievable. When he's into the box and gets space to shoot with his right foot, you can almost shoot as hard as you want, leaving every keeper no chance.
  • Positioning - Mainly building up using my 2 CDM's, this guy appears to be open to play the ball to all the time. In the right position for a lot of rebounds too.
  • Technique - Of course, what would you expect? I'm not a skiller, but love trying some daft tricks with him, which makes it even more fun - even with those tricks failing most of the times.
  • Stamina - Keeps on going, even with the number of times I involve him in my attacks (90%) he still has some energy in the tank at the end of the game.
  • His physique; when in a battle for the ball with a CDM or CB, he loses the ball almost everytime. Stay out of these situations by passing & moving!
  • His agility feels a bit soft when he's in the box, between a lot of people.

RICARDO KAKÁ
By noahjaramillo, 27-06-2020

A couple of weeks ago I packed PIM Henry, sold him and bought this guy with Garrincha 94 and Neymar. I thought Garrincha would be the one who would stay in my team no matter what. But Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite proved me wrong.


This guy is a monster.


To give you a little more information:

  • Div 5
  • Gold 2
  • Play for fun


Pace:

I used a hunter chemistry style, which made him raps AF. He is tall so he isn't Adama, Kent, Mbappe,... but he stays ahead of the defender you are facing


Shooting:

With hunter, as mentioned above, his shooting goes to another level. As every player he misses sometimes but that is mostly my mistake.


Passing:

Almost every pass is perfect


Dribbling:

He lacks A & B, but for me it is barely noticeable.


Defending:

N/A


Physical:

His stamina is a letdown. If you have a good cam supersub like me ( David TOTSSF ) the you don't have to worry.

He is strong enough


HE IS THE BEST I'VE USED THIS FIFA
