92 - Icon
I didn’t care how meta or not this card is, this man was my idol growing up, so to say how excited I was to see him in swaps is an understatement. There are definitely better strikers out there, but I just really wanted him. I ended up getting him, Litmanen, and the pack (Okocha).
He’s not the fastest man on the pitch, but his shooting is unreal. Just pick a side, shoot, score. Simple.
If you get him for swaps or you pull/buy him, engine is essential. Balance is disgraceful.
Use the 98 shot power, really. He can’t really finesse shot so just hold shoot and fire a rocket and blow it by the keeper.
Passing isn’t great, but isn’t needed.
Decent strength, but can get knocked around a bit from his bad balance.
4* 4* and good heading and volleys
-Most powerful shot I’ve seen
-Above average strength
-Good heading
-Amazing volleys
-Great value for swaps
-4*4*
-Balance
-Passing
-Dont even try finesse shots
well, when i saw this set of icon swaps I was thinking about doing gatusso or puyol,
but then i started making a argentinian defence and no longer needed puyol, and i will get gatusso next.
but oh well, i am so happy i completed trezeguet, for 7 tokens thats a bargin.
when in the first game in rivales he scored a hat-trick in the first game (26 minutes in game then rage-quit) i knew i will enjoy playing with him.
then i went into another game- and he scored 5!!!
this guy is a goal god.
shooting- long range short range strong foot week foot it will go into the net
dribbling- yes, i know its surprising, but his dribbling is pretty good, 4* so can do most skills, and his high ball control(90), reactions(95) and Composure|(89) make up for the low balance and agility.
passing- short is great, long- didn't test yet
phisicality- HE IS STRONG, realy realy strong
pace- the pace is perfect for a striker of his calibers (num 9)
defending- maybe
As soon as Icon SWAPS III came out, i saw this card and i knew i wanted it straight away to partner normal Mbappe up top in a 41212(2) (with 89 Baggio behind them creating). I did not regret my choice as this card is amazing! The main thing that stands out is his shooting, when you set him through on goal 9/10 he will finish the chance regardless of the angle. Despite his height, he does not feel slow or clunky, defenders struggle to catch up to him- he is also strong enough to shrug off most defenders, which when combined with his 4* skills makes him very involved in build up and hold-up play.
A summary of each of his stats out of /10:
Pace - 8/10
Shooting - 10/10
Passing - 7/10
Physical - 9/10
Dribbling - 8/10
Defending - N/A
Overall, especially considering you can get this card for free, he is a game-changer at striker and a player i would 100% reccomend.
Shooting- scores every shot, pretty much
Strength
Pace
Price- free from icon swaps
Passing could be better, although it isnt necessary
I did Trezeguet for my Icon Swaps because he looked like a solid card and couldn't really be bothered to go for someone higher up and I was very pleasantly surprised at his performance. He originally started as my main striker alongside Headliners Luis Alberto and he did very well. His shot is extremely good and also provided a great aerial presence for any crosses my players put in. Furthermore, his 4-STAR WEAK FOOT means he is capable on either foot. After TOTS came along, I then was playing Trezeguet as a middle CAM behind TOTS Jamie Vardy. Despite that, he still plays exceptionally well and continues to excel. He works well in setting up Jamie Vardy after putting an Engine on him so his 91 SHORT PASSING is very helpful. My only concerns with his card are that even with an Engine, he is not the fastest of strikers with only 88 ACCELERATION so he can't really burst through the defense like Mbappe. Also he sometimes feels very clunky with only 76 AGILITY AND 70 BALANCE.
- Great shot
- Good short passing
- Aerial threat
- Good links
- A bit slow
- A bit clunky
- Not the best stamina for a central CAM
