So i completed this sbc because he looks like a incredible card and i really like his dynamic image, At the time of reviewing this the sbc cost 510k and he is actually a Beast. You can Have a lot of fun with this card if you want to enjoy this game I'd highly recommend him if you like ian wright or arsenal 100% and also any one and he feels fine on the ball with an engine

First off I want to state why I did this card; I'm a huge Arsenal fan and as soon as I saw this card was released in SBCs I knew I had to do him. Even though he is not a "meta" player I did him and probably would have no matter what his stats were. Going into this card I did not know what to think. Would he be a player with low agility who couldn't finish? Or would I be able to fix the "issues" of this card and bang out goals? Well I slapped an engine chemistry style on this card and got into some games.
I'll get straight to business; I enjoyed this card. Is he cracked? No. Is he perfect? No. Is he a clinical finisher with lots of strengths? Absolutely.
Pace wise Wright is quick; not insanely fast but certainly fast enough to test defenders. I use a lot of through balls and if you play a good ball in behind for him to run onto you know he's gonna get there first.
His dribbling wasn't insane but it definitely wasn't bad. He did at times feel a bit slow/heavy on the ball and not super agile but he definitely can hold his own when left stick dribbling. Considering he is 5'9 his supposed low agility and balance weren't a major issue and this was made less of a problem with the trusty engine chemistry style.
When it comes to Ian's finishing it was consistent and clinical. I felt pretty confident in front of goal that he could put it in the back of the net. Using the engine on him obviously doesn't boost his finishing however I don't think it needs a boost. His 95 positioning and 96 finishing as well as the 92 shot power and 4 star weak foot make his goal scoring something you could bank on. From range he didn't blow my mind, I think this his shooting is pretty no nonsense, no insane finesse shots (he doesn't have the trait) or long shots in my experience however his ability to put away chances as a number 9 were class.
A weakness to mention was his passing. Even with the engine Wrights passing is relatively low tier. He can make short passes just fine but anything more long range or aerial and the consistency just wasn't really there. However I don't think this is a huge downfall for his role in most peoples squads.
I also wanna mention his physicals. Wright seems to be one of those players who causes problems for defenders. His strength and aggression are mid 70s however he just has this habit of nibbling at defenders and winning the ball. One situation where this showed was when he was in behind with Gomez nipping at his heels. With LT held there was no way Gomez was getting past and Wright buried the ball in the bottom corner no problem with his 91 composure shining.
When it comes to weaknesses the obvious one is the 3 star skills. This will be a dealbreaker for certain FIFA players who rely on skills to create unique angles and situations to score in but for my play style of quick build up play and through balls I didn't find it a huge issue.
Overall I enjoyed my time with Ian Wright up front. He really embodies the role of a classic number 9 well; no frills goal scoring machine. When it comes to similar players I actually felt like Timo Werner was a similar one. Both their cards share similarities when it comes to skill moves and weak foot, low agility and balance and low passing stats but they just have this feeling in game that anybody who used Werner in the early stages of the game will know. That being said Wright was more reliable in front of goal than Werner so the comparison isn't that close in retrospect.
As always with these cards I recommend people use the loan before hand. Engines are 400 coins on the market so grab the loan and get into some rival games; this card will click really well for certain play styles so its always good to try before you buy per se.
Clinical finisher on both feet.
Underrated physical stats.
Pace to beat most defenders.
Great work rates.
More than enough stamina.
Sick dynamic image.
Passing is sub-par.
Lack of skill moves.
Ranged shooting wasn't mind blowing.
No shooting traits.
so i've seen loads of people hating on this card, going so far so as to say that there are GOLD cards more value for money than his SBC. Lies. Absolute lies. For such a card, 450 K (and soon to fall because fodder will crash down) is a STEAL. Let's dive in, shall we?
- PACE-91 (+5 with Engine)
Brilliant. His inherent stats being so high, getting a +5 from the chemstyle, and being a short 5'9 makes him a tough player to chase down.
2. SHOOTING-93
lies. absolute lies. It feels like a 99 in game ngl. His 4* WF feels almost like a 5*. If he shoots, it's going in. Simple as.
One thing i do want to mention is his positioning. With that 95 POSITIONING, all it takes is a decently placed through ball to split apart the defense. In the 30-ish games ive used him, 90% of my goals came from Through-Balling the defenders' line, Wright's sprint towards the goal, and the inevitable goal. With that Positioning, i rarely found the need to dribble with him since he always got into a good position.
3. Passing- 72 (+6 with Engine )
crossing and FKA? Abysmal. Curve? Abysmal. short passing and vision? Decent. Like i said, he is not going to be that guy who puts through balls in behind, HE is the person who gets on the end of those through balls.
4. Dribbling- 84(+5 with Engine)
Huge L for most. However, with an engine, it's actually quite decent. He doesn't dribble like Prime Cruyff, but he does the job. And like i said, with the elite positioning, you aren't gonna be needing to dance around in the box with him.
VERDICT-MAYBE
Hang on, lemme finish. this is a good card. absolutely. even more so if you don't have a lot of coins or fodder. BUT. I'd recommend waiting for some time, right until he expires, to see if EA release some better icon SBCs that cost around 500K. That's what i'll be doing, since it seems like the smartest option. There's no point in grinding him out only to have EA release a prime Lineker card which is better for around the same price.
good pace
brilliant shooting
dribbling is decent, not the best
passing is sub-par
most people need at least 4*SM
I am writing this review because I am tired of watching reviews of this card on youtube and seeing the reviewer trying to pull off skill runs and la croquetas with this guy, failing, and then saying that this is a bad card. Its not. I decided to get the loan for this card in order to see if he could be an upgrade to my prime Owen. I used him as a right st in a 4312 with EOAE Rooney at cam and what if Armstrong at left st. And I should start out by saying that if you like skillful dribblers at st, Wright is not your guy. Generally speaking, I am not a skiller, so I knew going in that the skills would not be an issue for me. Even though he's not a great dribbler, he is a pure-bred goal scorer, and, if you don't over complicate things, he will score for you.
Pace- His height and body-type make it so he is not quite as fast as he should be, but he is still quick, and able to get in behind most defenses.
Dynamic Image- It's just attractive.
Shooting- Shooting is fantastic on this card, from any range.
Strength- Didn't expect this guy to be very strong, but his body type made him be able to body most cbs.
Stamina- I don't think 90+ stamina is necessary on a striker, and his 89 is enough to play a full 90.
Dribbling- It's not horrible, but its also not good.
Price- I think it is good value, but objectively, there are similar cards you could get for free.
Passing- Similar to the dribbling– gets the job done, but may cause you problems.
No good traits- I would've wanted the finesse shot trait, but he doesn't have it, which is a shame.
I did this card as I've had a lot of fodder and was looking to change my formation and get some great link-ups. So far I have found a great addition to my team! You can tell he hasn't got great dribbling but he has pace and slots the ball in the back of the net.
For people like myself, I cant have the over 2 mill mark players in my team so SBC like this is perfect for me. I'm very happy with him.
He fits in the team and i notice him for sure, he gets involves in link up play and makes deadly runs.

I came up against this card in Division 1 Rivals during the week and he scored a hattrick against me in the first 10 minutes, I now had to get this card and try him out. I have done the SBC and played 5 games of Fut Champs with him and he scored 14 goals and 6 assists. This card was ridiculously good. Most people say you have to put an engine of him but I put a hunter on him and he is the best card I have used this FIFA. I would definitely recommend this card mainly because the price is so cheap for the SBC and he has a great Dynamic Image. I played him with Icon Moment Overmars upfront from swaps and they destroyed every defence I came up against. For me I don't use skills that much so the 3 star skills my let you down but had no effect on me. Overall a Fantastic Card!
Speed is lightning fast
Can score from anywhere
Weak foot is great
Good Stamina to last a full game
Great Height
Great Dynamic Image
3 Star Skills which I don't mind
Dribbling isn't a big issue for me
I completed Wrights SBC for almost 100k and i don't regret it a second. He feels like a cheat ingame, he gets the ball with him every time and his turning is insane. I've used engine on him just to get extra pace, agility and balance and thta's what I recommend to you guys. He is the best finisher i have used this year, even better than inform CR7. With Engine ha will get 96 pace + 90 agility and 91 balance which is good for a st, he also has 89 stamina which means he can play the whole game without getting substitueted. Also this guy was a very good fotballer in many peoples favoritue club Arsenal, this dynamic image is from when he broke the record for most goals in arsenal. I recommend this card for people that playing fifa for fun or if you're a arsenal/england fan.

So I used 89 Wright last year from swaps and LOVED him all year. So this year when a friend said I could easily do the Prime SBC I took up the challenge and had to do it.
I can safely say there is a noticeable boost over the 89 card. He obviously has his drawbacks with skills but as someone who doesn't really skill with their striker he is incredible for me!
Now I do like to shimmy and dribble, as ICONS shooting stats are so broken I tend to not boost them, hence the engine on this card. The extra agility and balance in incredible too.
Now, into the details.
Pace : Obviously he is rapid. He feels really quick even without 99 pace. But 96 isn't bad.
Shooting : Weakfoot, strongfoot he scores with both. All the meta shots are great with him and he can do some not so meta stuff too. Great finisher!
Dribbling : With the engine boost dribbling with this card is a pleasure, as long as you don't forget he is only 3* skills.
Passing : Something I was fairly shocked by was the passing on this card. Accurate, safe, not underpowered. He got a few assists too for me so yeah, 72 looks bad but he isn't. Thank you engine!
Stamina : He runs and he runs forever for me. Love that!
Height/ Heading / Jumping : For some reason he is front post for me so corners don't work with him. He has OK heading in the usual back post if he is unmarked, but even less chance than normal if there is a man close enough to smell him.
Skills : Like I said if you are a skiller its an issue, but if you aren't I highly recommend.
Strength : Now he doesn't feel super weak. He got past a few defenders shoulder to shoulder, but it isn't guaranteed. Hence its more con than pro.
I have had Ian Wright for a while now and decided to do a review so for those of you who don't have time to read long reviews I will keep mine short and sweet.
