Reviews

After using him for 141 matches, I finally had to review him! He is by far the pack card I have ever opened from a pack in FIFA. I received him untradable so I had no choice but to use him as I could not sell him therefore I cannot really comment on the "value for money" section as I didn't spend any money on him. I am glad that I couldn't because now I have what to me is the one of the best strikers I have ever used in FIFA. He is the full forward package for most players. I played him as a solo striker and in a two striker formation and he was just as good in both. He can be played as an ST, CF, CAM or even a winger or inverted winger if you wish to meaning he can play anywhere up front. Apart from being a prolific goalscorer (100 goals), he is also a great playmaker and chance creator for his team mates. Racking up 52 assists for my club. Overall, I would fully recommend him if you can live with the cons that will be talked about further in this review. I will be reviewing him without the added bonuses from the Engine chemistry style.

I had the privilege to play with is mid icon and was never happier with any other player. Unfortunately, after wanting to try other players I needed to switch formations where he could not fit. Long story short, I got over my new team and formed a new one with this Stoichkov in it. Let me tell you, his prime feels so much better than his mid and that one was already godly for me. A very noticeable upgrade is his physicality. My man feels like an unshakable mountain and got a significant stamina boost. Secondly, there is his shooting. He is one trait shy from being a god tier shooter, yet what he has now is already very lethal. My Stoichkov never misses the target I can say that much. The pace is not shabby either. I run mine with an engine style and watch him outpace most of the defenders. If he does not outpace them, then his hold up game will do the talking. As I said, his balance, strength and aggression make him an unshakable mountain. If needed to, you can also run him as your cam, I mean look at his passing!! Last but not least, my man has the 4* skills and the creamy dribbling. All these factors lead him to out classing every defender: he is too fast, too strong, too slippery. However, on the other hand he only has a 3* weak foot. You can solve that quite easily by running him on the right, but I'm telling you that 3* is plenty. The shooting and composure totally makes up for it. In summary, Stoichkov is a near perfect striker, only shy of a 4* weak foot and shooting trait, yet still lethal against the likes of van Dijk and Ramos. Lastly, I highly recommend equipping the engine style on him as his shooting is good enough and putting him in the striker position.

I packed Quincy Promes TOTSSF that I sell to buy this Hristo Stoichkov Prime.

I saw his stats and I wait a lot of this card, and he did not disappoint me and played his best football in FUT Champions and for some challenges in Rivals.

I played 47 games with Hristo and he scored 43 goals and more than 10 assists, I think it's very good! He's one of the only to be a very polyvalent striker with his monstrous stats, he has pace, he can do unbelievable shoots, he can do incredible passes, he remains standing thanks to his physical stats (93 Agression!) and finally he can play more than +90 mins with his 86 endurance.

By the way, his 89 free-kick accuracy allows him to shoot very good free-kicks, I find the crossbar on one of his free-kicks and most of them are on the target. One of his bigs avantages are his capacity to do terrifying finesse shots with his left foot and there's 99% that it's in. The biggest con of this card is his 3* weak foot who doesn't allow him to shoot from his right foot so you have to place him on the left in your composition (for me, I used him in a 4-2-2-2 and placed him on the left striker position so he can go on his right foot when he shoots)

I got him from my prime icon pack and didn`t know what to expect, little did i know that i had just got my hands on a BEAST. He has amazing pace, shooting, passing, dribbling, and physical! For me in mostly Division Rivals games he has scored 493 goals and assisted a further 289 in 533 games. I play him at right striker in i 41212 wide with normal 93 Ronaldo at left striker, they are amazing together, would definitely use them together as a strike partnership, he can also play alone or as a Cam with an engine. He also has amazing free kicks. The only weakness i could point out is the 3* weak foot, even though it feels very 4*ish in the box due to his high shot power. I cannot really say if he is worth the money because i got him free but i would buy him for his price of 190k.

After completing my second prime icon guaranteed, I was very happy with Stoichkov as he looked like a very good card. I played him at striker alongside player moments Rashford and they formed a good partnership. However, I will first of all say, don't expect anything too flashy with this card and it isn't the most enjoyable icon out there, but when played with fast other players, he becomes a different player. I would highly suggest a deadeye on this card which improves his shooting and passing making his shots and passes unstoppable. I find this card best when the ball is played to his feet, so he can play passes wide to quicker players, so don't play it to him in the air as his jumping is bad and heading accuracy isn't great. Now I will break down his attributes.

Pace - Good, but not good enough to get past meta defenders with ease, and as I said above, you'll need other players to do the work for him be most effective as even with a chemistry style he feels quite clunky.

Shooting - Fantastic, his finishing is amazing and can shoot from range also. Definitely the highlight of this card. The only downfall about it is his 3* weak foot, but it doesn't have much affect on his game overall.

Passing - Very good usually, but needs a deadeye or another passing boost chemistry style to get the best out of him. His hold up play is good so if you have players with him on the counter, his passing can be useful.

Dribbling - Good, but like with his pace, it feels clunky at times so don't expect it to be unbelievably good.

Physicality - Good considering his build so is capable of holding the ball for good lengths of time.

Stamina - Good for the first hour or so, but begins to drop off a little after so I would suggest having a replacement striker on the bench.
