How to make Kluivert Usable

By SargentSpinach, 08-01-2021

I know why everyone is on Futbin looking at this card trying to make themselves not feel depressed after grinding for a base icon pack just to get Kluivert, but he is usable is the right situations. First of all, Kluivert is meta, but only with the right chemistry style. It's tempting to use hawk or hunter or catalyst, and us him as a CAM/CF but this isn't what Kluivert is best at. In my experience ,after packing him in a base icon sbc, he performed best for me with an engine chemistry style, and either playing LCAM, RCAM, LF, or RF but not ST. You cannot pretend like Kluivert is a good striker, he is simply too slow without the dribbling skills to make up for it. He profits from using is 92 pace (with chemistry style) and upgraded passing at a position in between wide and central play. Even though a lot of people complain about him, in even weekend league he was able to use La Croqueta, cut in and finesse or bang goals mostly from just inside the box. If you play him at ST or CAM he will become invisible, wide striker or wide CAM role's suit him best. It is best to take advantage of his 78 strength and not expect him to be super fast. Agility and Balance with an engine is passible, and can be used if you are good at skilling or don't mind doing a lot of stepovers and fake shots to compensate. The best formations, that are meta, that Kluivert fits into are the 4-2-2-2, 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-2-1. Do not try to pair him with a strike partner in a formation like the 4-1-2-1-2(2), his attacking positions lets him down at this central position and will kill your attack. Also to be noted, using him over someone like Ben Yedder or Dembele is a big mistake, and intentionally using him over a good meta player when they would do better than Kluivert is a waste. If this is the case, and he would be a downgrade to your team, wait for the mid or prime icon upgrade SBC and rinse him into that (they normally require icons). This is my review and analysis of Patrick Kluivert. Put excellent value for money because most of us got him free.

Stronger than most striker, can hold off defenders
Able to get past midfielders like Kante (with pace and strength)
Is capable of shooting and coming up with clutch goals
Passing with engine is surprisingly fantastic
4 star skills & 4 star weak foot

Sometimes missed sitters (composure, nothing you can do)
Sometimes gets bullied off the ball (agility and balance let him down)
Might be too slow for some matchups like Walker IF and sometimes Gomes
Will be underpowered in less than a month most likely

I will keep this brief - You are buying a fairly budget icon (500k on PC) - 4star combination with nice pace.

Atrocious

After many hards hours of work, i finally had a team a would consider decent. Nothing could go wrong for me i thought, so i tested my luck in an icon pack. Got Bobby Moore. Shit, but half usable.When the second pack came around, i thought to myself, "well i can't be extremely unlucky once again" but again, i was wrong. Instead i got 188centimeters of unu...

Small L for sure

When I opened this "Base or Mid icon pack" and saw Netherlands flag, I was hoping for Gullit, Cruyff, Rijkaard or Seedorf. My dreams were gone when I saw "N" (polish translation to "ST"). Anyhow it's good for me I get Kluivert - no Dennis, RVN or MVB. I used to play Fifa 2001 with Fc Barcelona and changed Kluivert's name for my own (I got same first name).I played 25 matches - 13 in fut champions and 12 in...
