91 - Icon

5.0

An odd beast

By Dsav8, 26-11-2020

I was lucky enough to pack this guy from an untradeable 25k pack. My first Icon I've ever packed. My CBs didnt need a strong link to the GK and he was untradeable so I popped him into my squad. I am a very average player. Until recently I was floating in the div 4 to div 3 area and have gotten gold 3 at best in champs. I replaced Manuel Neuer with Yashin, and after 55 games of champs/rivals I can say that Yashin is ridiculously good, about 90% of the time. This man makes the most insane reflex saves I have ever seen from any keeper on FIFA, he's lightning fast off his line, and he passes better than some center backs I've used. However, sometimes, due to being a bit short for a keeper (6'2") he does let in some kind of simple, but well placed shots. If you are in a situation where your opponent is about to have a shot, and you just know they are about to score, there is a good chance that Yashin might save it, but if they just take a standard near post shot, he sometimes lets it in. This can probably be counteracted with some savvy goalkeeper movement, and with his insane reflexes he will probably save them, but like I said, I'm not the best player and have not incorporated GK movement into my game very much. With random meta goalkeeper picks in the game such as Nick Pope that you can pick up for 1k or even the standard high tier goalkeeper like Neuer not costing you north of 50k, I cannot say that he is worth his 440k price tag. But if you need an Icon GK to link someone like Opara and Long together, and you have the coins, I would HIGHLY recommend picking up Yashin.

The Best I Have Ever Used

I've never written a review about any player before, much less a goalkeeper but I have been playing Fifa for a long time, experiencing the best goalkeepers at a time where they were stupidly overpowered. In a game where this has been reversed, Yashin comes out as a goalkeeper who outshines every Keeper I have ever used, and I have never controlled his movements. For context I'm a Div 3 player usually finishing Gold 3/2 on F...

91 Yashin Review

Yashin is a keeper that sometimes plays well, and sometimes plays under what he should. In FUT Champions, he plays better. In Division Rivals, there is a sense of a weakness. Yashin is a very good keeper, if you have the coins, go for it.

Inconsistent Lev Yashin

I got this guy from the Mid or Prime Icon Pack. I have played 300+ games with him. Some games he feels very good and other times he just let every single shot in the goal. The problem with him is that his handling is not that great even though his stats say so. His weakness is the way he parries the ball. Every single time he parries and a player from the opposing team is in the box the ball always lands at his feet and I c...
