87 - Icon
4.5
not Meta.. but very fun
By Santa, 27-11-2020

I got him out of my Base Icon SBC and was pretty happy to not see the Danish Flag (no offense). As mentioned in the title, Drogba definitely isn't meta in my opinion. He just lacks the dribbling, especially Agility and Balance. BUT he just finishes everything in front of goal. His shooting just feels phenomenal and Pace combined with his 91 strength is definitely enough to outrun most defenders. Another thing that just stood out is heading. I mean this guy is already 1,89 m (6'2") and still he got 88 jumping paired with 89 heading. Great for Crosses and Corners. I tried Engine and Finisher on him to try and counter his lack of Agility/Balance and found Finisher to be my preferred Chem. Style for him. I feel like there are most likely better Players out there for similar money, but going off Meta is just a lot more interesting and fun for me (that being said, i still use Varane. Some Players are Meta for a reason I guess).

  • Pace, once he gets going he's going you know
  • Strength, Akinfenwa would be proud
  • Shooting, either foot just feels banging
  • Heading
  • Dribbling. It's not a dealbreaker really, just slap a Finisher/Engine on him and he feels good.
  • Passing. I mean he is a Striker so I don't really expect him to play Passes like De Bruyne

Class.

Hi. I packed him from my base icon pack and after first games I was very disappointed, beacuse he was clunky and annoying. After playing 50 games with him I have to say he is one of better strikers I have used this year.Use him in 2 st formation alongside some agile player like Werner, Rashford etc.Very nice card overall, but a bit expensive. I will save for his better cards, beacuse I liked him : ).

Incredible

I decided I wanted a striker that had some physicality to them, that could go up against big centrebacks and dominate them, I particularly wanted them to be strong in the air as well just so I had more ways to score. I chose the 87 version because he had more agility and pace which would allow me to turn and just be quicker, in general, to go with the strong physical stats. I play him in a 4-3-3 and make s...
