94 - Icon

5.0

Zizou - the Magician

By memosi4, 20-01-2021

After pulling baby Trezeguet, I've got really lucky and got this man from base/mid icon upgrade. I was really hyped at the moment but then, but then I began to think where to put him on the pitch. I was playing 4-4-2 at the moment, so after reading some of the reviews and watching some videos, I started playing him as a CM next to Blanc. He was ok there, but I have to be honest, M/M workrates are not the best for CM in 4-4-2. I noticed that most of the time, he was just staying still and not helping in attack or defense. He had a Shadow applied, but it's wasn't good enough for me.

So the next step was to try him as a second striker with false 9 instructions applied. And after a few matches, it still wasn't the best for me.

Please don't get me wrong, he was ok in both positions, but it feels like 2.6 kk player should perform much better.

That's why I decided to switch my formation to 4-2-3-1 and play him as a central CAM with hunter and OMG, he is just a god there. Let's jump in and explore his main attributes.

PASSING (10/10)

Just amazing, he is the best passer, that I've used this year and I have a feeling that he is definitely in top 5 in the whole game. The direction and the power is just perfect. He can perform really tough passes, which you wouldn't dare to do with another player.

SHOOTING (10/10)

He scores a lot of goals for me with both feet and I feel that he is the only player, that can constantly hit longshots.

DRIBBLING(9/10)

You will need to get used to his model, but he has a good ball control and his physicality also helps a lot.

PACE(9/10)

He is not the fastest player, but with hunter he has the perfect pace for CAM or CM

DEFENDING(6/10)

He can make interceptions but it will happen really rare, and you will have to control him, AI didn't make a single interception for Zidane during 10 matches played. I also need to note that his model is not super responsive, so it will be tough jockeying with him.

PHYSICALITY(8/10)

He feels strong and definitely can compete for the ball. The only thing that is not great here is his stamina. He can play 90 minutes, but then you'll need to change him.

OVERALL(9.5/10) CAM

I was lucky to see his real life perfomances and for me this man is a legend, I know that many people were admiring him back then, so if you really want to try him, I recommend you to use him as a CAM, because in other positions he doesn't feels like Zizou that we remember and to be honest it will be a waste of coins.

I will keep this review short. If you have any questions please write them below. For reference, I am a div 1 player. All games has been in Div 1. I have not yet tried him in WL. Passing:He got that icon presence and he finds passes even I didn't think of. He can bend passes around players and into spaces in a way that I have not experienced with any other player in the game, de Bru...

Zidane CM/CDM in 442

So I used this guy in 442 and 4231 as second CM/CDM with Shadow next to a more defensive midfielder like Kante/Valverde and I think I can offer my review after playing with him for more than 70 games. For the record I'm D1 2340 sr and Elite 2 in FUT Champions, not the best but I think that should be enough to review

Zizou is UNREAL!

What a player! I packed him out of an icon pack and I was buzzing! Insane all round stats and very versatile. I played him CAM in the 352 formation. He can play and recieve balls with ease. He'll finish everything, and I mean everything. I never took any notice of his dribbling but it's insane. As I've only ever played him at an attacking role I've never really need to use his defending but none the less it'll do the job as...
