Intro:

So it's the 2nd weekend league and been trying to improve at the game. Fut champs is full of drop back counter attack abusers. I played like this for the first 10 games and its just not fun , I would score one goal and literally pass for the rest of the match ( what a douche, I know).

The team:

I was playing pukki upfront in 4231 and kevin de bruyne behind him. Pukki was a good finisher but he kept taking too long to punish the opposing team I think this was due to his composure as soon as he was striking the ball a defender would slide tackle and block it. I had done all my icons swaps done and decided to actually have fun at this game again.

I really needed a striker that was faster and more crisp with the ball. I decided to redeem Crespo , I wanted Gerrard originally but i got so lucky in pack rewards i could afford another icon if i sold my team after this weekend league

scream bernard left wing and raheem the dream on the right

Crespo:

He played my last 14 games and almost scored in everyone single one of them(2 lost). I changed to my usual 4411 and no instructions on him with kevin and maddison playing CF role on false 9.

He singlehanded saved me this week

He has medium\medium and that's why I put no instructions just let his 85 positioning do the job plus my tiki taka style always found chances for him. I have to say RB pass one to one makes him do some really good runs

I put a hawk on him but I noticed in game his passing is not great and would recommend Deadeye or Engine if you are more of a possession type player

His dribbling was nice not like bernard's or raheem's but he has sufficient agility to dance between defenders and create goals for himself which is something important for me as I like to manually dribble with left stick feinting and tricking my opponent. Plus my fifa style is rule number 1 -- don't lose the ball

He didn't have a problem holding up the ball for me, I see in the comments some say he needs a partner striker. I did try in game 41212 with bernard or raheem next to him but i prefer him as a lone striker maybe that just how I play to so you'll have to try that your self.

He has a clinical shot on him, finesses shots are deadlyyyy

I like to time finish most of my shots apart from the first time power shots and with him timing shots felt easier, you can kind of tell this year when the striker hit the ball right and all his shots felt that way

I don't usually cross but there was one game where I needed just a goal to win and I couldn't break this guy down I decided ro run down the wing with raheem and wip one lo-and behold crespo riffled a volley between two defenders almost ripping the net lol

I decided to write this review as all my games where in fut champs, I am sure in rivals he will probs do 2-3 goals a game

To wait another month for icons fut swaps is just very long, i'm too impatient and I know many special cards will be out before I get a Drogba or Michael Owen

So if you are like me needing someone deadly upfront who is almost a complete striker to last you until christmas or so I would highly recommend Hernan Crespo

on the market his price is now below 500k

I would buy him tbh, next I will try his medium icon.

Sorry for my english.

At the begining it was a little bit difficult to play with him because before him I had Insigne in my squad, who was a lot more agile with the ball than Crespo.

But Hernan has a lot of other things, he has the best shoot that I´ve tried in this game, he scores everythin from every angle, in 126 games played he scored 160 goals and made 68 assits. 70 passing is a mistake, he has a great passing and he played very well with the midfielders and my false 9.

I´m not a very good player but he helped me to achieve my personal record in fut champions at my first attemp.

I was actually going to go for butrugueno but after 12 tokens i couldnt brother anymore. All in all he is a good striker.

I was too lazy to get him from Icon swaps ( I got Nesta and Jay-Jay ) But I have an untradeable aguero so this guy helps me with links alot. This was a card I had wanated to try ever since I saw it, and luckily he's cheap enough for me to get him. I use Hunter on him and the only other chem style that might be better is engine, but I'm not wasting the 12k I spent on the hunter. I absolutely love this card in-game, he is the only player I've used that has better finishing than 84 Zapata who was my favorite #9 for the first part of this fifa. he is very fast and he has great dribbling, he makes great runs and always finds himself in the right spot to finish tap-ins. His physicality is decent, he has enough stamina for a striker and good strength. His passing isn't the best, but after using Zapata, anyone has good passing. What really impresses me with this card is the shooting, he hits it like a rocket every time and he can score from every angle, whether it's finesses to the back post or with his laces to the near post, he will score. I am planning on phaying him in a 4-2-3-1 with Orsic headliners on 8 chem at LAM, Aguero at CAM, moments Di Maria on 7 chem at the RAM, and with him at the 9. Overall he is a very good card, he is pacey and powerfull, and he has a deadly shot. I would highly reccomend.
